Craft a Mirror From Plastic Spoons

by Shawna Bailey
I’ve seen these decorative mirrors made out of spoons in a number of places on the internet and was curious to try it myself. I really didn’t want to get into the practice of painting plastic spoons though, so I made sure to find spoons that were a pretty color.
Here's my cut up, colored cardboard paper.


I just used a few squirts of hot glue to stick the mirror onto the center of my cardboard.
I cut the spoons with a pair of scissors just before the spoon met the handle, and then added a dab​ of hot glue on the bottom of the spoon cup to secure it to the cardboard.
I chose to make a semi-ombre pattern with my spoons, but if you're not into that, you can easily make it all one color.


Look how nice it turned out!
