Romantic pendants

To do this, you need to take a spoon or fork with patterns, polish it and connect it with a thin chain. Everything is as fast and simple as possible.

Commemorative keychains

We cut off the lower part of the device, make a small hole, and connect it using a connecting ring. Next, we attach another, larger one to this ring and our keychain is ready.

Decorating with plastic

With a small budget you can create a beautiful, original design in your home. It is enough to have the desire and free time. Decor made from plastic spoons includes many elements.

Of these, the following stand out: paintings, flower pots, vases, candlesticks, clocks, decorative roses, signs with plant names, garlands and much more.

The most uncomplicated of the many products are: a lamp in the shape of a pineapple, a frame for a mirror, a candlestick.

Components of decor

Shade

We take an old lampshade as a basis and hang the devices on thin chains.

dream Catcher

Spoons and forks must be fastened with threads. To make the product beautiful, it is better to organize two rows - top and bottom. Each row consists of six starting materials.

Panel

Kitchen utensils are painted in a bright, rich color and are also attached to the canvas.

Chandelier

This product requires a large amount of raw materials. They are connected at the edges of the chandelier thanks to pendants.

Kitchen wall decorations

It is necessary to apply matte paint to the dishes. Fix the composition on the canvas.

Elegant forks

The basis for the work is the cutting. Care and skill must be exercised when producing the product. The idea is to twist the teeth with pliers.

Pineapple made from plastic utensils

An original piece of decoration in a child's room. It is easy to make, practical and fits into almost any room interior. To make it you will need: an oval lamp, a glue gun, spoons, yellow gouache, a knife, green cardboard, a bottle.

We cut out a cylinder from the bottle, cutting it off on both sides. We paint the devices in a yellow shade, after cutting them and leaving only the top side. We take the deep sides of the tools and attach them to the bottom row.

Glue another layer to cover the gaps between the petals. Thus, we glue the entire bottle. We make leaves from green cardboard and glue them to the base of the bottle. Finally, place the pineapple on a suitable lamp.

Glowing water lily

An original idea for a garden craft made from spoons – a water lily with a built-in lamp. Due to the resistance of materials to moisture, such products can be used to decorate a garden or local area. They can even be placed in a small garden pond.

Materials and accessories:

• Disposable plastic spoons;
• Polystyrene foam, preferably dense enough;
• Hot melt adhesive;
• Waterproof paint, preferably acrylic;
• Stationery knife;
• Miniature lamp with solar battery;
• Scissors.

Manufacturing procedure:

1. Cut a cone-shaped shape from foam with the top cut off (the top should be flat). For convenience, you can first make a cube and then cut off the ends.
2. Cut the handles of the spoons at an angle, leaving 2-3 cm. Cutting at an angle will make it easier to install into the foam.
3. Make a hole in the foam and install a lamp in it. Waterproof, solar-powered lanterns can be purchased at garden decor stores.
4. Insert spoons in a circle into the blank, forming a flower head from the petals. You need to make several rows of petals. A glue gun is used for fixation.
5. Cover the foam with green acrylic paint.

Thanks to the lightness of the spoons and the porosity of the foam, the craft can be placed in a home pond and will not sink.

It is not necessary to use a flashlight, but with it the flower will glow beautifully in the dark.

Mirror frame

This frame will refresh your old mirror and give it a new look, and most importantly, you can choose the color to your taste. To create such an element you need: plastic scoops, hot glue, scissors, spray can, cardboard.

We take measurements, transfer them to cardboard, and cut them to the desired shape. We take the power tools and cut off the main side. We connect the spoons with the cardboard with the concave side, in several rows, to add fluffiness.

When the structure is dry, paint it in the desired color. Then we glue the mirror into the center and enjoy our design move from plastic devices.

Roses

It will be a little more difficult to make a rose with your own hands.
We recommend that you do everything yourself, entrusting your child only with painting the finished product. You will need:

1. Plastic spoons;
2. Lighter or fire on the stove;
3. Scissors;
4. Pliers;
5. Glue gun.

Hold the spoon over the fire and then use tongs to shape it into a rosebud. Be careful! If you hold the spoon too long, the plastic will start to drip.

Do the same with the other spoons, but they will already be petals framing the bud. Therefore, they should be made wider.

Thus, each subsequent spoon will be subject to less and less deformation.

Next, cut off the stems of all spoons except the one from which you made the bud. Use a glue gun to glue all the petals onto the bud. At the very end, you can paint the finished product in any colors.

Candlestick

Another opportunity to recycle scoops would be a decorative candle stand. For such a product we will need: several oval pieces of disposable tableware, a scented candle and super glue.

We create a decoration in the form of a lotus flower, gradually gluing the spherical parts. At the end, you should definitely glue the candle itself to the center of the flower. This trinket is made quite quickly and quite simply, but at the same time it will creatively improve your life. It is recommended to use spray paint as it will go on smoothly on the frame.

ladybugs

Prepare a set of disposable spoons. To make 1 ladybug you will need 3 spoons. You will also need: glue, several large buttons and paint (black, red, white).

Cut off the stems of the spoons. Leave only the oval part of each - these are the wings and bodies of your future ladybugs. Paint two ovals red with characteristic black polka dots.

And one oval part in black is the body of the ladybug, it will slightly peek out between the wings.

Glue the wings together when the paint is dry. Secure the button on top - this is the ladybug's head. You can paint eyes on it with white paint.

Products for kindergarten

When children start going to kindergarten, parents understand that they cannot do without products. Especially for such an occasion, there are several trinkets that will delight everyone, especially adults, because they are so simple that even a child can make them.

This does not mean that the child will do them himself, but he will do most of the work himself. The main thing is to make sure that he does not eat the adhesive. In this article you will learn how to make cones, a snowman and a peacock from plastic scoops.

Tulips

The easiest way to make tulips. Especially if you are new to such experiments.

You will need:

• Plastic spoons (5 spoons for 1 product);
• Colored paper (corrugated);
• Glue, scissors;
• Green electrical tape;
• Cocktail tube.

Cut equal, even squares of colored paper. Wrap spoons in them and seal them so that they resemble tulip petals. Pre-cut the legs of the spoons.

Cones from disposable spoons

It is important that the design will be suitable not only for kindergarten, but also for home comfort. You need to find: paper, plastic scoops, glue, braid for a loop. We crumple the paper until it forms an oval shape, then attach the loop.

The next step is to cut off the main side of the spoon, and row by row we completely cover the paper ball. We wait until it dries, then we paint it in a natural brown color and enjoy your child’s work.

A few final ways

A disposable product opens up new boundaries for creativity and creation. Plastic forks and spoons can be used as hangers, hooks or coasters. Crafts from such material can be made in two ways. The first method is based on the use of glue.

As a result, you can get a fan or an umbrella. Another method is to heat the feedstock. This way you can make flowers or a Christmas tree. These are unique New Year's crafts made from forks. The integrated use of different types of disposable tableware makes it possible to create complex designs.

Kitchen utensil masterpieces pave the way for unleashing creativity. The main component of success is improvisation and the desire to move forward. There are many video lessons and master classes on similar topics. Crafts made from disposable forks deserve special attention.

Next, you need to revive the snowman, draw a face on the round part of the scoop. After these processes, it is enough to insert it into the lid with plasticine. The spoon snowman is ready.

Items used in everyday life

Storage area for small items

The spoon needs to be bent in the area of ​​the handle and nailed to the wall.

Key hooks

We bend the handle with pliers and attach it to a wooden block.

A large amount of utensils and a soldering tool are required. The procedure involves shaping the devices into a vase shape and soldering them together.

Sign holder

The plate is fixed between the teeth of the kitchen utensil.

Note pendants

Curtain tieback

Plastic peacock

In ancient times, peacocks decorated the estates of nobles. Nowadays, it is called the royal bird. This peacock is not very easy to make, but if you make it, it will decorate your family nest.

First, paint the spoons white so that the paint lies evenly on the surface. When the dye dries, we begin to draw multi-colored patterns. While the paint layer is drying, cut out a bird carcass and an even circle from cardboard. Cut to any size, but keep in mind that the larger the size, the more raw materials required.

Color the circle yellow. The next step is to paint the cotton swabs blue, after which we paint the bird carcass. Also in blue. After drying, cut off the blue part from the cotton swabs. We glue the cotton elements to the body of the peacock until a three-dimensional surface is formed.

We assemble the head from the main parts of the instrument, paint it blue and attach it to the neck. The spoons are glued to the yellow circle, and thus we create a tail. We make a tuft of blue cotton wool and decorate it with glitter. We draw on the eyes and beak. We attach the body to the tail, and we get a beautiful bird - a peacock.

Watch design

Plastic spoons can be used to decorate a simple round clock. Such a decorative element will look great in the kitchen.

For production you will need:

• A relatively compact watch with a round shape and no protrusions on the outer part of the case;
• A4 paper;
• Compass;
• Pencil;
• 30 plastic spoons;
• Hot melt adhesive;
• Pasta in the shape of small circles;
• A can of spray paint in the desired color.

The order of decorating the watch:

1. Cut a circle out of paper in the shape of a clock. To make the circle even, you will need a compass. The blank is needed to protect the dial from paint.
2. Glue plastic spoons along the entire perimeter of the body. The scoops should be directed outward, and the handles should be glued.
3. To decorate and separate the handles from the dial, make an inner circle of pasta.
4. Cover the clock with paper and color the pasta with spoons in the desired color.

You can use more than just spoons. To make them more attractive, you can alternate them with other cutlery, for example, forks and knives.
