Saint Nicholas Wooden Spoon

Add some holiday cheer to your kitchen with this easy and fun Saint Nicholas Wooden Spoon craft project.

This project is perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of whimsy to their Christmas décor.

Materials needed:

Wooden spoon
White wool
Piece of cardboard
Scissors
Red twist ribbon
Acrylic paints in flesh-tone, white, pink, red, grey, and black
Medium and detail paint brush
Hot glue and gun
Gold and white cording
Finishing spray or varnish

Paint the wooden spoon with a coat of flesh-tone and allow drying.

Use the end of your paint brush to dot on two black eyes with paint. Then, use red paint to make a red circle nose and a mouth. Add some color to the cheeks with pink acrylic paint.

Next, paint on a white mustache and hair with white paint strokes. Take a bit of grey paint to add detail lines to Santa’s hair and mustache. Once you’re satisfied with your design, apply a finishing coat and allow drying.

To add some dimension to your Saint Nicholas Spoon, unravel a piece of red paper twist paper and fold it in half. Cut a slit in the fold and feed the bottom of the spoon through. Cut a second piece of twist paper for arms and slip it under the unfolded piece and too the back. Use a bit of hot glue to keep it in place. Tie a piece of gold and white cord around the center of the coat and make a bow. Then, glue the arms down crisscrossed on the front with a bit of hot glue.

Finally, take a rectangle piece of cardboard and wrap your white wool around and round it like you would if making a pom-pom. Then take another wool piece and feed it under the wad of wool and tie a knot. Your Saint Nicholas Wooden Spoon is now complete and ready to use!

Your spoon is now complete and ready to display!
