Creations, Fall Signs and Spoon Faces
Welcome to the Monthly Creative Craft Blog Hop
Thank you Andrea of Design Morsels for hosting this great hop
Are you ready for some incredible Fall and Holiday Inspirations?
Great, because we have plenty for you!!
All the links and craft sources can be found at the end of the post
I decided to make some Fall signs and spoon faces
to use on tiered trays and in vignettes
Let’s get started!
I painted an unfinished wood plaque black,
added a spider and a few spider webs,
then painted the sides orange with a black and white checked border
I saw a lot of holiday painted wood spoons on Pinterest
which inspired me to paint a wooden spoon black
and create a mummy with white paint and green eyes
{this is not my original idea, but I can’t source anyone as there are tons of these on Pinterest and Etsy}
I gathered some more decorations from my Halloween stash
and created a spooky Halloween tray
I lined the tiers with spider web napkins
Then I added witch legs, pumpkins and lots of spooky things!
With Halloween less than 2 weeks away,
and with Thanksgiving just around the corner,
I made a turkey spoon and a couple of Thanksgiving signs
I painted wooden triangle shims {that came with a stretched art canvas}
orange and yellow and the spoon brown
I painted details on his face and body
and glued the “feathers” to the spoon back
For the Thanksgiving signs, I used tiles and acrylic craft paint
The turkey spoon and tiles can be used in vignettes
and flower arrangements
I hope you are having a beautiful Fall!

Jenna, Your wooden spoon transformed into a gobbler with the magic of your paintbrush and imagination made me smile this morning! So smart to repurpose your canvas shims for feathers! Your vignettes are always so cheery and creative no matter what the season!
Thanks so much Mary! I haven’t been to Hobby Lobby since Feb, and actually having fun creating from things I can find around here 🙂
How sweet and adorable, Jenna! I chuckled when I saw your spoons! Too cute! You are so talented and I always love seeing how you put your fabulous vignettes together – no matter what the occasion!

Thanks so much Gail, I wish the spoon idea was mine, but seeing so many on Pinterest, I just had to try making some 🙂
What a creative Turkey spoon!
Thank you Liberty!
LOVE the spoon heads!
Thanks Dorothy!
Jenna, I’m smiling just looking at your gobbler spoons. They are a cute craft, and make a perfect addition to a bouquet of flowers.
Thank you Rachelle, silly but fun!
Your creativity always shines to bring beauty, fun, and inspiration!
Thank you Kitty!
Girl, you are one crafting lady and I am loving that turkey spoon. So stinking adorable as all of your crafts are. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks so much Cindy!
Jenna, I love the painted spoon, so cute and a fun project to do with children! Your outdoor mantel is beautiful. You are so creative with a paint brush!
Thanks Pam, I have a lot of fun decorating the outdoor kitchen, just as you do with your adorable Sunshine Cottage!
You really go all out on holiday decor Jenna; great ideas!
Thank you Sara, yes I love to decorate for holidays!
Jenna I love all your cute crafts you shared today! It is so fun and looks great. Happy Halloween!
thanks Terrie!
The spoon faces are fun! My kids would enjoy making those!

thank you, and yes a great craft for kids!
Jenna, you are the queen of “creative” DIY projects. I love all of your creations but the spoon faces are just so adorable! I think this would be a lot of fun with the grands. I love the mummy, he’s just to cute. Your outside fireplace looks fall perfect. Happy weekend. Hugs………
Thanks Emily, I have been in a crafty mood lately 🙂
Beautifully done!
thank you!
I love your mummy spoon! There are so many great things to choose from. I love the tiered tray with the witch legs too. I’m coming back to you when we can finally have Halloween parties again. Thanks for being in the hop
Thank you Andrea!
How cute are these! They are so very cute friend, love it! Thanks for sharing and wonderful hopping with you.
thank you Chas!
These are cute and so festive! I especially love the spoons — they’re darling!
Thanks Jeanie! Fun craft!
Jenna, I love the tiered tray you created! It looks like so much fun! All of the signs are precious, and this would be a fun project to do with the kids! Happy Thursday!
I am late to the tiered tray craze, but they are so much fun to put together and anything goes! Yes, it would be a fun kids project, I’m sure they would think of things we never would!
Jenna, you always create the most wonderful things with your paints and brushes! When I was a teenager, I stained wooden spoons and white washed the inner spoon. Then i painted miniature trios of mushrooms on the white, tied a piece of leather shoestring on the top and they became decorative wall hangings for a kitchen. Must have sold 50 of them to earn spending money for Christmas. Forget all about that until I saw this adorable project post!
Thank you Debbee, and the hanging spoons you made sound great, I am looking at wooden spoons in a whole new way now!!
Looks like you’re ready for boo-time Jenna! I’ve been thinking about getting out my tiered tray for Thanksgiving:@)
Thanks Lynn! I have been having so much fun with the tiered tray, I can’t wait to see your Thanksgiving one!
Good Morning Jenna!
I am loving catching up with ya’ll today. I had 3 grandkids hanging out with me yesterday so I was running around like a crazy lady.
I love your whimsy, creativty and ability to magically create the most adorable vignettes. These spoons…oh me oh my ADORABLE! love the mummy and turkey spoon so much!
Great to hop with you!
Jemma
Thanks so much Jemma! I can relate to your grandmother days! We have quite a creative hop group, so much fun!
Your painted signs and spoon faces are so cute and creative, Jenna! The spider and turkey are my favorites. The spider sign would look great on a wreath. And the turkey is the perfect way to add Thanksgiving cheer to a bouquet. It was fun hopping with you again!
Thanks so much Rebecca, and great idea for adding a sign to a wreath!!
Jenna, here you go again, getting all creative with your painting skills! That turkey is too, too cute, as is that little mummy! Even the tile! You always paint the cutest creations! Thanks for hopping with us!
Thank you so much Chloe! That is quite a compliment coming from a creative like you! I am sorry I didn’t mention you are a host of the craft hop too, I was confused and thought you had turned it over to Andrea? Next time I will be sure to include you as a hostess too!
Oh, those are cute! I love the turkey and mummy spoons. You are having waay too much fun with those tiered trays, Jenna! They’re perfect for you.
Thank you Rita! I am having fun with the tiered trays, too much fun 🙂
Jenna, wow! So many cute ideas. All your artistic skills really shine with sick cute Halloween projects. You never run out of darling decor.
