You could use sporks to make those fringed tulips! ha!

Those are awesome!(-:

Oh how cute, that would make a great busy day project for little or big kids! LOL ~tenderlee

How do people think of these things? Amazing....love the idea! Thanks for sharing it with us Kirk!

I first saw these about 25 years ago and
thought they were great! Never made any tho'!

Hobby Lobby had a rainbow of colores spoons. Would make great summer party decorations and could punch hole for mini lights.

I had to do it...I've made 3 so far. I used green spoons to make the leaves so they would be outdoor friendly and waterproof

Souperwoman, WAY TO GO! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! Your flowers are beautiful...better than what is shown on the site! I just knew someone could do something intriguing! YOU DID IT! I am inspired now! Any hints? WOW! WOW! WOW! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Thanks, Kirk!

I followed the same basic instructions, minus using the plastic disc as a base.

I pulled 12 spoons of the same color and heated each one over a candle open side up. When the plastic started to sag, I held the spoon, pulled it, shaped it, and then kept it in place for a few seconds to cool. If it didnt look quite right, i'd reheat and shape differently. Once I did that for all 12 spoons, I used a pair of garden/rose clippers to just snip the handle off of each one. I then took 5 "petals and arranged them in a circle and used a bit of GE Silicone II right where each petal touched each other to hold it together. There will be a hole in the middle but that comes in handy later. After a few minutes, I added a layer of 4 more "petals". I used the leftover spoon handles to prop the petals up so the flower was more 3-dimensional. Then i added the final layer of 3 petals and did the same thing.

Once everything was dry, I attached a big bead to the center of the flower to cover the hole and finish the look. I also took a green spoon and created a leaf the same way i created the petals. If you're making them to sit flat on the table or a project, that would be all you need to do. Because the back side would be covered.

If you want to use them in a way where the back may be seen, then I'd take the extra step and add a stem. I just used the leftover spoon handle (waste not, want not!) and heated it, pulled and twisted it, and held it in place for a moment for it to cool. I also created another green "leaf" to attach to the back of the flower and put a hole through it with a heated x-acto knife so i could slip the stem through it and into the hole between the petals

Finally, VOILA!
