Supplies:

• plastic spoons
• scissors
• candle and lighter
• hot glue
• paint (optional)

Steps:

1. Heat the spoons one by one over the candle.

 
2. As it begins to melt, carefully fold or stretch each spoon forming it to look like a petal.

 
3. Heat the handle and cut them away.

4. Put two petals close together and secure by heating the bottom or simply using hot glue.

 

 
5. Add layers of spoon petals until it forms a flower.

 
6. Paint the petals. (This step can be optional. You can choose either to paint it or not.)

 
7. I used a paint that dries very fast so I brushed it with white glue and sprinkled on some glitter to make it look more presentable.

8. Slightly brush it again with glue to keep the glitter from falling off.

Even though I don't care for the glitter, I still think the flowers are beautiful. I wonder if there is a glue that dries perfectly clear, and if a few drops placed here and there would look like dew drops on the petals?
