20. Watermelon Wooden Serving Spoons from Real Moms
Watermelon colors and patterns seem to be VERY popular this summer and in my household, a watermelon can go more quickly than most any food. So I thought I’d transform some cute wooden serving spoons into Watermelon Wooden Serving Spoons with some paint, tape, and sealer.
