Guest Crafter: Plastic Spoon Flowers

Today I have a guest crafter, Marie Thomason.  Marie and I used to work together in a cancer research lab before either of us were married.  We’ve stayed in touch over the years and when Marie posted these gorgeous flowers made from plastic spoons on her Facebook page last week I knew I just had to share them with my readers!!

We all know that plastic spoon crafts are all the rage right now, remember my Pottery Barn inspired Hurricane?  Marie found the instructions for these flowers on Pinterest but the source is a scraper (aka stealer) site so I’m not going to link it here…if anyone knows who the original crafter is please send me a link so I can give credit where credit is due!

Marie said she made them by holding the spoons over a candle flame to melt them and form the petals, then cut off the handles and used hot glue to assemble the flower. Aren’t they gorgeous? They remind me of magnolia blooms! You can see how she got different looks as well by how many petals she added to each flower.

Thank you Marie for allowing me to share your crafty goodness with my readers! Marie doesn’t blog but if you are looking for some bling she is most definitely your girl-you can check out her Lia Sophia website here!
