Once the tree and spoons were dry, I began at the bottom of the tree and started gluing the spoons in rings, working in circles around the tree.Īt the top, I glued three together tightly. While the spoons were drying, I sprayed the paper tree also, in case some shows through. I used the taller one for the tree – about 10 inches. I found a bunch of CHEAP cardboard Christmas tree forms at Michael’s for $0.49 each (on sale). Its nasty and my hands are still covered in it. I think I’ve said this before, but I really hate Krylon spray paint – it sprays uneven and thick. I then grabbed some spray paint I already had lying around and sprayed all the spoons, both sides. My kitchen shears, with the little notch in them, worked really well. Once home from my Target trip, having bought way more than just the spoons, I cut the heads off all the spoons. I ended up going back for more, needing a total of 118 spoons. I bought a two packages of plastic spoons from Target, which wasn’t enough. It is my favorite and most unique of the four. A week or two ago I was racking my brain for new and interesting ways to make Christmas trees, and thought of those mirrors. If you’re a fan of Pinterest, you know that about 6 months ago plastic spoon mirrors were all the rage. I began this Christmas tree endeavor with one really good idea and it snowballed into making MANY trees!
