Materials Needed:

Attach Tape
Using painter's tape, wrap utensils on the lower third of the handles firmly to avoid any bleeding.

Paint Utensils
In a well ventilated area, either spray or dip (depending on the type of Plasti-Dip you purchase) each piece of flatware. For a more dramatic look, apply two coats and allow any excess to drip off before setting down to dry.

Let Dry
Allow each piece to dry by placing over a chopstick or small dowel to prevent bottom of utensil from sticking to any surfaces. Once completely dry, remove tape and hand wash before using.
