Spoon Craft Flower |
My stash became huge recently and I have much more than I can use for every tin in my kitchen! So my daughter and I decided to do some crafting with our spoons! Sharing some ideas for spoon crafts
Spoon Crafting
Spoons-- In our house we have all shapes and colors! Most of them ice cream spoons [ Yeah we eat a lot of ice cream!!]

Spoon Crafts |
Most spoons can be cut easily with a scissors.
Some are however brittle and break if you use a scissors- In such a case soften the plastic by running through a candle flame a couple of times and then cut with the scissors-- The flame can discolor your spoon black but this can be wiped off .
For making spoon flowers a glue gun is indispensable -- you can magically make all kinds of flowers!

Spoon Crafts |
Here is our most basic flower- made by sticking the back of the spoon on a disc of thick card.

BLESS YOU SONIA! I have a LOT of plastic spoons hanging around and now, I think I have that breakthrough idea I was hunting for! :) THANKS A TON!
ReplyDeleteGoody-- I would love to see what you make Pritesh!
ReplyDeletewho would think of that ! really amazing ! Loveit...I loved the pink lotus more :)
ReplyDeleteHi Dr. Sonia. You are one amazing lady. What a great way to use the spoons and those flowers are just gorgeous. They would look lovely as a decoration on a large gift box wouldnt they. Well done. Happy crafting.
ReplyDeleteLove Sandra xx
Can you e-mail me your phone number at pritzd@gmail.com Sonia? You sound like the person I would love to know better and I have a rather deep emotional bond to Bangalore as it is! I lived there all through my Masters and PhD :-)
ReplyDeleteWow this is super cool.what a great way to use spoons which are always easy to find in any house
ReplyDeleteI will never be able to look at a spoon the same way again,I love this idea so much! Excellent recycling and great tutorial!
ReplyDeleteWow Sonia I had to look twice to see that they were spoons I think my fav is the lotus one amazing have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteJacki xx
very cute!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Who knew you could make these fantastic things with spoons!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteTFS!!
Marlies.
Sonia!!! you are a Khazana of recycling ideas!!! this one is a master piece!
ReplyDeleteNice way of using spoons. The white flower looks awesome. Kudos to your DD for giving you some intelligent inputs.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your 3d flower...your daughter is quite the brilliant crafter. I can see painting one of those red, adding some glittery leaves to the bottom and maybe a gold bow, and using it on top of a Christmas gift box...or stacking some in a bowl or on a gold plate and making a centerpiece for the table. Oh man, I my mind is working overtime. I love this idea. Now I will have a great excuse to eat more ice cream sundaes too. I also love your daughter' spoon ballerina. She couldn't be any cuter. And your daughter did a great job with that precious face...must be hard to write on a curved spoon. What fun this morning. I am going to print this post out and put it in my "to try" journal. What fun!
ReplyDeleteSonia,how did u add those corners to the photos?
ReplyDeletewell you are undoubtedly the queen of recycling i would never have been able to come up with such an idea ...those flowers look so pretty!!
ReplyDeletenice idea doc.....me too tried this one...but i did with pista nut shells .....
