Googly Eyes
When it comes to craft supplies, googly eyes have got to be one of the most fun things to use in a craft project.
These eyes are typically composed of a white plastic or card backing covered by a clear, hard-plastic shell, encapsulating a black plastic disk.
The inner black disk is allowed to move freely within the larger clear plastic shell, which makes the eyes appear to move when the googly eyes are tilted or shaken.
Googly eyes are available in a variety of sizes, from small ones that are just a few millimeters in diameter to large ones that can be several centimeters across.
The package I used for this project came with a whole lot of eyes in several different sizes.
Self-adhesive googly eyes are great for crafters, as they look fantastic are are easy to use.
Bamboo Appetizer Forks
Bamboo appetizer forks are a great way to serve your guests appetizers at your next party.
They’re inexpensive, useful, and look great.
Plus, they’re fun for kids to use and disposable, so you don’t have to worry about washing them after the party.
These little wood forks are perfect for serving a variety of appetizers, such as cheese, fruit, and crackers.
They’re also sustainable and biodegradable, so you can feel good about using them.
No matter what you’re serving, bamboo appetizer forks with googly eyes will make your party extra fun.
Dimensional Tulip Paints
I used Tulip Dimensional Paint to decorate these appetizer forks.
The paint has a glossy finish, so it looks wet even after it dries.
I love Tulip brand paint and craft supplies, since they are always high quality and the colors are vibrant.
For this craft, I used the Rainbow & Neon Dimensional Fabric Paint Pack.
The paints are ideal for fabric, but they also work well on other surfaces like bamboo wood.
They come in handy squeeze bottles with pointed tips that make it easy to apply the paint directly to the forks.
There’s no need for a paintbrush!
Just squeeze the paint onto the wood and you’re good to go.
If you’re careful, this can be a virtually mess-free paint project.
