Quick Answer
The Jungle Spoon, with its wild ladle shape and playful design, makes an unexpected garden ornament. Follow these steps to turn it into a weather-resistant, eye-catching decor piece.
Why the Jungle Spoon Works Outdoors
The Jungle Spoon is designed by OTOTO in collaboration with Elinor Portnoy, and its whimsical, oversized ladle form naturally fits a garden setting. Its sturdy construction can handle mild outdoor conditions, but it is not a weatherproof product. A simple protective coating or placement in a sheltered spot extends its life as decor.
Because it is not marketed as an outdoor item, you need to take a few precautions. The spoon's playful silhouette—like a wild jungle ladle—stands out among plants, on a patio table, or as a unique garden stake.
How to Turn Your Jungle Spoon Into Garden Decor
- Clean and Dry the Spoon Thoroughly: Wash the Jungle Spoon with mild soap and water, then dry it completely. Any moisture trapped in crevices can cause damage over time if placed outdoors. Check for leftover food residue in the ladle bowl and handle joints.
- Apply a Protective Clear Coat (Optional but Recommended): Spray or brush on a clear outdoor sealant (like polyurethane or acrylic spray) to guard against rain and UV rays. Let it cure for 24 hours. Skipping this step means the spoon may fade or warp if left in direct sun or rain. Test the sealant on a small hidden area first to ensure it doesn't alter the spoon's color or finish.
- Choose a Sheltered Garden Spot: Place the spoon under a porch, inside a covered planter, or against a wall where it gets indirect light. Avoid full sun and heavy rain exposure. A common mistake is putting it directly in soil—use a small stake or hook instead. If you want it in a flower bed, attach it to a metal or wooden stake so it doesn't sit in damp ground.
- Secure the Spoon as a Decorative Accent: Use a thin wire or weatherproof string to tie the handle to a fence, trellis, or plant stake. Alternatively, lean it against a pot or shelf. Make sure it is stable so wind doesn't knock it over. Check the stability after a storm or strong wind; re-secure if needed.
- Rotate or Store During Extreme Weather: Bring the spoon indoors during heavy rain, snow, or extreme heat. Even with a sealant, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions will shorten its life. Rotating it to a different spot every few weeks also prevents uneven fading. Store it in a dry place during winter months to keep it looking fresh for next season.
