"When you picture an IKEA hack, you'll likely think of things like sleek BILLY built-ins or custom BESTA media units. For me, though, with limited time and budget, it's the little hacks made with IKEA marketplace finds that are the most fun. After all, IKEA's marketplace is a treasure trove of goodies with so much hacking potential - even on the tiniest of budgets. Case in point: IKEA's RÖRT cooking utensils that I turned into salad servers with just a little paint."
"When I spotted the RÖRT spoon and RÖRT fork, I instantly thought they'd make cute salad servers when paired together. Except they were a little too basic to use as serveware - especially for dinner parties and gatherings. But the untreated wood and plain design meant they would be quick and easy to zhuzh up with some paint. For this project I used one RÖRT spoon and one RÖRT fork, which cost just $2.99 apiece, acrylic paints, a thin paintbrush, and some washi tape."
The RÖRT spoon and fork from IKEA marketplace are inexpensive, untreated wooden utensils priced at $2.99 each that offer strong hacking potential. Project supplies include acrylic paints, a thin paintbrush, and washi tape. A color-blocked finish is created by tightly wrapping washi tape to mark painting areas, applying three coats of paint, and sealing the tape edge by painting over it to ensure crisp lines once removed. After peeling off tape, repeat taping to define additional painted sections and add contrasting metallic or neutral colors for an elevated serveware look ideal for gatherings.
