We acquired a bag full of plastic spoons last week. Me and the girl had the afternoon to ourselves so we washed, dried, sorted and started creating.
Plastic spoon project no. 1: Daisy wall plaque.
What you’ll need:
Old cd
White plastic spoons
Large plastic milk bottle
Button
Glue gun (low heat glue gun best for small kids, and always with adult supervision)
Scissors
Cut or break the tops of the spoons off to make the petals. (Be careful as the plastic can be sharp)
Glue the petals around the edge of the cd. Repeat two more times to fill the entire cd.
Cut a long rectangle strip from the milk bottle and snip the edges to look like a fringe.
Glue the fringed milk bottle strip into the middle in a spiral.
Glue a button in the middle.
Glue a piece of ribbon to the back and hang on a wall.
Plastic spoon project no. 2: Water lily.
The girl decorated the spoons with sharpies before I stuck them together with a glue gun.
Plastic spoon project no. 3: Spoon and button sun catcher.
The girl and I had fun with this one!
We used a cd as a base, glued buttons to spoons and used sharpies for colour.
(Remember a hot glue gun should be used under strict adult supervision, or use a low heat glue gun with older kids)
Spoons! I acquired a bag full of plastic spoons and set about washing them in a big tub of soapy water.
To make a flower you’ll need to break or cut the handle off the spoons.
Spoon petals and a cd.
Use a glue gun to stick the spoon petals around the cd. Cut a piece of milk bottle plastic into a long rectangular fringe and glue into the middle. Add a button in the centre.
Spoon daisy.
Spoon water lily. The girl drew on the spoon petals with Sharpies before I glued it all together.
The girl and I used a cd as a base and glued buttons and spoons around it to make a huge flower. The girl used Sharpies to add more colour too.
