You will need

SHOPPING

• various wooden spoons

• pestle and mortar

• Woodoc Water-Borne FLOOR (Clear, Matt/Gloss)

• Woodoc Colours Opal, Full Moon, Clifton Grey, Mulberry, Sweet Grass and Deep Plum

TOOLS

• 5 small bottles and a bowl for mixing

• flat stirring spatula

• clips

• string 

1 Almost fill the bottles with Woodoc Water-Borne FLOOR then add a small amount of five of the Woodoc Colours to each one (one shade per bottle). Shake the bottles to mix. Pour about 150ml of Woodoc Water-Borne FLOOR into the mixing bowl and add the sixth shade to this. Use the stirring spatula to stir it properly.

2 Hang up some string from which to suspend your spoons; lay paper underneath to prevent any messy accidents.

3 Dip the spoon handles in the various colours and use the clips to hang them up to drip-dry. Dip the pestle and mortar in the colour in the mixing bowl.

4 Once the first coat has dried, dip the items again for a more solid cover.
