I thought so too.
I was looking for an inexpensive way to jazz up my cutlery collection without spending a lot of money. I thought I had found the perfect solution. After consulting multiple posts, I followed the instructions found here on the Free People blog. The instructions are pretty straight forward: tape off a section with painters tape, cover the section with acrylic paint, let dry, then spray with protective coating and you're done!
Here's how mine turned out:
I did this to the whole set without testing it first. I used 2 coats of paint and 2 coats of non-toxic shellac. If I wanted to eat with these once and never reuse them, then this craft was perfect. Unfortunately, I did this with the intention of actually using my silverware again and it now looks like this after washing one time by hand and placing them in a drawer.
And yes... That is tape on the spoon. It's shellacked on and can not be removed. Oops.
Moral of the story: test first!
