So, grab your supplies and let your creativity shine as you transform ordinary plastic spoons into a stunning candle holder that will brighten up your space in no time! 

Materials:

• Plastic Spoons – You need around 20
• Scissors
• Spray Paint – I used a gold color, but you can use whatever color you want
• Cardboard
• Craft Knife
• Large Pillar LED Candle
• Faux Flower Leaves

Instructions:

1. Let’s start with the cardboard. You want to take a piece of cardboard and draw a circle on it with a pen or a pencil. The circle should be large enough to hold your candle.

2. Make the cardboard circle about an inch around if you want to glue two circles of plastic spoons. Cut out a cardboard circle and set it aside.

3. Now, let’s get those spoons ready! You have to remove the handles. Using your craft knife, remove the handle all the way up to the base of the spoon. Be careful that you don’t cut yourself or break your plastic spoons during the process.

4. Start gluing the spoon heads onto the cardboard using your hot glue. Begin with the outside corner of the cardboard and glue the spoons on one at a time until you reach the full circle.

5. Repeat this step, but go inside the circle. Glue the spoons between the gaps that you created when you did the outside.

6. You now have the base of your candle holder.

7. Now comes the fun part – painting! With your chosen paint color, spray the candle holder until you get the hue that you want. Please do this outdoors, as spray paint fumes can be dangerous indoors.

8. Once you have sprayed the entire candle holder, you want to let it dry for a few hours. Turn it upside down so that the spoon heads don’t hold any excess paint, and allow it to dry on a newspaper.

9. Once your paint has dried, you can add the flower petals or leaves. Glue these into the center of the candle holder on the inside.

10. Place your candle and enjoy! When you are finished, your DIY plastic spoon candle holder should look something like this:
