What can you make with six spoons?

Hello. It's thanks to Kelly from Oregon for sending me a link to a web site, which gave me the idea for this garden decoration. Thrifty Rebel Vintage makes all kinds of house and garden decorations out of unwanted or cheap stuff. I had a look and found that Tuula bends spoons to make flowers, so I had a go and made my own version. 

I found a washer in my bit box in the shed and bent the spoon handles backwards and slotted them through the centre of the washer. Six spoons were the perfect fit. 

To secure them I wrapped the pink wire around to join them up so they wouldn't move about and slide around. I have a hot glue gun that has been hidden in a drawer for ages, time to get it out.

I have three old metal stalks from solar lights which no longer work, I kept them in case they come in useful for something. They are perfect for this, slot one of the spoon handles into the top, and stick the plastic pointy bit into the garden, or a plant pot.

To cover up the washer I added a large metallic button, fastening it at the back with wire. And stuck some coloured sequins on with the glue gun, trying not to get the hot sticky stuff all over the place. A pair of tweezers did the job very well, saved getting my fingers burnt. The glue sets very quickly so you have to be careful when positioning things. I took some pictures indoors to try and lessen the dazzle from the spoons.

A blob of hot glue on the back.

I'm dead chuffed with this. Think I'll give it a try with forks.

Thanks for popping in, we'll catch up soon.
