It is time once again for our monthly printable blog hop. This month we are all sharing some fun and FREE Christmas Printables. This is going to be our very last printable hop. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have.
This month I thought it would be fun to share a simple neighbor gift idea. I don’t know about you, but I am always trying to come up with a new twist on a well loved idea. Giving a jar or a bag of homemade cookie mix is not a new concept. I love the idea of sprucing it up a bit and putting it in a pretty package.
I love having the ingredients to make cookies during the holiday season right on hand. You never know when you will need to whip up some homemade goodies at the last minute with all of the parties and events…so these make for a practical gift too.
I quickly sewed together some homemade cookie mix bags out of a canvas paint drop cloth. I will share that tutorial here soon. To see some other projects I have used a drop cloth for check these out!
Then I hand-stamped a wooden spoon with the word JOY! To see how I did that you can read the tutorial here:
Then fill up a plastic ziploc baggie with all of the dry ingredients for you favorite cookie or brownie recipe…or use mine!

What kind of paint did you use to paint the handles? I’ve tried this before, using craft paint, and it was not dishwasher safe… Did you find something that is?
Amy says
Great question. I used house paint. I just got some sample sizes in the two colors. It stays on in the dishwasher…but I always wash my wooden spoons by hand. Either way…it should hold up in the dishwasher.
I love this whole thing Amy- so cute!
Thanks Mique! I keep thinking about you! xo
Amy I love this idea, so easy and cute!
Thank you so much friend!
I love the hand stamped wooden utensils and the way you packaged everything up makes it extra special!
Thank you so much Lisa! I really appreciate that!
Love the painted spoon! So so cute!
As usual, this idea is adorable. Just wanted you to know that I purchased the stamp set from Harbor Freight and stamped the spoons for Thanksgiving. It was a little harder than I thought and I did make a few mistakes on some of the spoons but not enough to keep me from making the adorable “JOY” spoon for Christmas gifts. Thank you!!
Yay!! I am so glad you shared this with me! I love hearing when people make stuff. It does take a bit of practice!
How did you paint the cute handles??
I painted it all white first. Then I taped off stripes and painted the red lines!
So fun Amy!
xoxo
Super cute!! I especially love the painted wooden spoon! Thanks so much!!
Thank you Crystal. I love how it adds some fun color!
Hi Amy~ This is an awesome idea for cute gift wrap! Thanks so much for sharing ;)
Thank you Emily! You are so sweet! I am glad you like it!
Hi Amy! Question. I don’t have a stamp set and was wondering if you need to use the same jewelry hammer thing to stamp these into the wooden spoons? Thanks and I cannot wait to make these!!

Firstly, you should observe where a number of diving fish hunt for bait fish. Add your weight 14-16″ ahead of the first fly then place your strike indicator 2-2. To transport them, I suggest finding a small “minnow bucket” that can be attached to your belt or fishing vest. What I have concluded is that internet is the best place to buy these products. Another tactic I often use is to place a rigged method ball out discretely when the fish are not around.
