When having a party or celebration, it’s always the little personal touches that really help pull together the overall theme and add that little unique spark. For something easy and inexpensive, stamp your cutlery! Yes you heard me correctly, personalise your cutlery with stamps! Aren’t they cute!
This works perfectly with wooden forks, knives and spoons, you can stamp them with anything you like or even personalise for each guest and they are perfect for kids parties too!
Let’s get started!! First to the shopping list:
You will need:
Wooden cutlery (we found ours at Emerald & Ella)
Alphabet stamps
Stamper (to attach your wording to)
Ink Pad
What Next?
Make up your stamp, remembering that you need to make it backwards. You will want to test it out first before stamping your cutlery, because if you are like me then you have put at least one letter back to front!
Testing the stamp will also give you an idea of where you need to press heavier or if you have places where the stamp gets too much ink and gives you marks. See the black across the top of the letters in the image above? For me this was coming off onto the test sheets so after I inked the stamp I then needed to clean part of the stamp with a tissue before applying it to my wooden forks, like this…
and then STAMP! and you have this…YAY! So cheap to create and fun to stamp and best of all you have your own personalised cutlery for your special occasion which needs no washing up! (hooray!) Happy Stamping!
