How To Recycle Plastic Spoons into a Nice Beautiful Candle Holder


 

Those plastic spoons that you use to stir coffee, maybe in your lunch, or when eating ice cream, then you just throw them away because you feel that they have served their purpose. Isn't that familiar to you? What if I tell you that after you use these disposable spoons, you can make something out of them? You won't believe that you can make something special with those disposable spoons.

 

Just like I did in a tutorial on my YouTube channel where I recycled these plastic spoons because there is a lot of potential that can be done with them. I got creative and transformed those plain old spoons into nice candleholder decorations. I only used plastic spoons, glue, paint, and mini foam roses.

 

It's so easy to do, that's why when I finished this DIY, I really smiled because I expected the outcome to be what it was. So, I just said, "I can't believe I did this with plastic spoons." That's why in this blog post, I'm going to show you how I made this candle holder using disposable spoons.

 

Materials Needed for this project:

  1. disposable spoons
  2. Glue gun
  3. spray paint
  4. mini foam roses

Directions on How To Recycle Plastic Spoons into a Nice Beautiful Candle Holder

 

Step 1:

 

First, cut the plastic spoons at the neck part. All you need are the spoon bowls. You will need around 45 pieces of them.

 

Step 2:

 

Using the cardboard circles you cut (it's up to you to decide the diameter based on the number of spoon bowls you prepared), stick them upside down one by one. Do this process twice. Then, glue the remaining spoon bowls that are standing up this time. Repeat this process twice as well.

 

Step 3: 

 

After that, spray it with any color that you want. The one I sprayed was dark pink. Then, glue the mini foam roses for decorations between the spoon bowls. And that's it. You have finished how to recycle plastic spoons into a nice, beautiful candle holder.

 

The feeling of being able to recycle plastic spoons into a gorgeous candle holder is as fun as a piece of cake. Then, maybe you can actually display it in your house and be proud to say, "I just made this decor using disposable spoons." So before you throw away your used plastic spoons, think twice before realizing that you can do more things than you didn't expect to be able to do. Happy crafting!
