Wood Burned Spoon
I purchased a wood spoon from Walmart.
I cut a square of carbon paper and placed it on the spoon with the carbon side down.
I printed out the woods “Let’s Spoon” onto a piece of paper and placed that onto the carbon paper. I then used a pencil and traced the words.

The carbon left the words onto the spoon.
I then warmed up my wood burning tool, and I traced the carbon letters with the wood burning tool.
You could easily decorate the handle, write other creative sayings, draw pictures, etc.

DIY Magnets
Using clear flat glass rocks from Dollar Tree, I painted Mod Podge onto the back of the flat rock.
I then placed a sticker face down onto the Mod Podge.
You could easily use other items like napkin, paper, wrapping paper, photos, etc.
I then placed another layer of Mod Podge over the top to seal it.
While that was drying I painted on some glitter nail polish on a second rock.
Once both were dry, I painted on a layer of solid nail polish on top to create a solid background. You could easily use acrylic paint as well.
Once they were dry, I hot glued magnets onto the back of the rocks.
There are so many possibilities for this little project and they can be personalized so easily.
If you want to see more of options for these you can check out this post –
Etched Glass
I placed an adhesive stencil onto a glass mug.
I painted Armour Etch (etching cream) onto the stencil.
I let it sit for 10 minutes and then rinsed the etching cream off.
You can do this with anything that’s glass, and the possibilities are endless – candle holders, mirrors, picture frames, recycled jars and bottles…

Engraving Stainless
I placed an adhesive stencil onto a stainless steel water bottle.
I colored the stencil in with a dry erase marker and peeled the stencil off.
I used my Dremmel Engraver and engraved over the dry erase maker.
This is great for personalizing, and can be done on stainless coffee mugs and water bottles.

Thank you so much Gail
I love these ideas, Chas. I haven’t used etching cream, but it’s been on my to do list for a long time. I need to try it.
Thank you so much Beverly! I love that stuff so much – so great for so many projects.
These are all such fabulous ideas! The only one I haven’t tried yet is engraving stainless. Pinned.
Thank you Joanne and that engraver is so great. Not only can you personalize on stainless, but you can engrave things like my kid’s calculators with their names for school. Then with so many kids having the same kind, they know exactly which one is theirs.
This is top-notch. I have to voice my passion for your kindness giving support to those people that should have guidance on this important matter.
Thank you so much

What a great way to make extra money!
Happy day!
