If you like crafting, you can easily recycle household items for this purpose. This is especially a great idea if you are doing crafts with children at Christmas. In this way you can teach them to live in an environmentally friendly way. Since Christmas is not long, you can use today's Christmas craft ideas to make amazing decorations using plastic spoons.
You can buy plastic spoons ready-made. You have the choice between colored and white onessuitable for your projectColor it yourself, because the right color is often impossible to find. Spray paint is best for painting the spoons. But they can also be made colorful with acrylic paints. Many of our ideas are also suitable for children, so you can spend fun afternoons with them. Get started now!
There should be no shortage of funny or pretty decorations during the Christmas season. You can make a great decoration with plastic spoons and flower pots. You can then use the decoration to decorate the banquet table or side and coffee tables and create a winter atmosphere. This idea involves self-painted flower pots with spoon snowmen in them.
In this case, white plastic spoons are great. Paint the faces on the spoons and then cover them with felt fabrics in shades of blue. You will each need a hat, which you can design in different ways, and a scarf. This idea is toofor childrenwell suited.
Once you have prepared the snowmen, you can also design the pots. Again, use any blue color or typical Christmas colors like red and green. Flower foam then goes into the pots and you put the snowmen into it. You can also use stones instead. Fill the space with a tissue and then cover it with cotton wool to imitate snow.
But you don't necessarily have to use flower pots for the idea. Feel free to come up with something else. And the design of the snowmen can also look different. Feel free to use materials that you have in the house if you want to spontaneously do crafts with the little ones. Fabrics or paper work well.
We also think this door wreath is particularly chic, but you can also use it to decorate an indoor wall. So if you want to make something creative for Christmas or give it as a gift, you can consider these instructions. Simply remove the handles from the plastic spoons, of which you will need around 100 each, as you will not need them. Then glue the rest onto a ring made of foam or Styrofoam.
This variant for a wreath is a little quicker to design. Simply use the whole spoons and glue them together as shown. While red and white plastic spoons were used in the example above, transparent ones were used here. But that doesn't matter because you can color them at the end. You will need just over 50 plastic spoons.
Once you have glued all the spoons together and formed them into a ring, it is best to let the glue dry for a while so that the wreath doesn't fall apart. You then just have to paint the spoons any way you want. You choose the color yourself to match the rest of your Christmas decorations. Let the paint dry and hang the wreath with a pretty ribbon.
Even if you like making gifts, you can use one of our ideas. This lantern is particularly suitable for this purpose. With a golden color you can create an elegant decoration in your home. Get white plastic spoons and a container that fits a tea light. The material is best to be fireproof unless you are using LED tea lights.
To make this project, the stems are again unnecessary. Start at the top of the candle container and glue the spoons all the way around. Then it's time for the second row. You can see how the plastic spoons should best overlap using the picture instructions above. You are welcome to paint the spoons any way you like in advance.
Another great idea are these Christmas trees. You can choose any size and even decorate the finished tree with glitter, pompoms or other things to create a small Christmas tree. The curvature of the spoons should point downwards to best imitate the branches of a Christmas tree.
A cone serves as the basis for the Christmas tree. This can be homemade and made of paper, cardboard or cardboard, or you can buy a ready-made cone made of Styrofoam. Then glue the spoons onto this cone. Start at the bottom and work your way up until you get to the top. You can decorate these as well.
If kids are involved, you'll probably want to make something easy for Christmas. Faces like those painted for the snowmen above are particularly suitable when using plastic spoons. Not only paints and pens are suitable for designing faces, but also googly eyes, pom-poms, paper and fabrics.
If you enjoy crafting regularly, you have probably often made snowflakes and stars out of paper for the Christmas season. This year, why not use plastic spoons to create an interesting eye-catcher. The craft idea is again extremely simple and doesn't take much time.
For this idea you will need the whole spoons again. Depending on the spoon size, 60 pieces should be enough. First create a few groups of three spoons by gluing them together. Then glue these groups together as shown above. Keep doing this until you get back to the beginning. You can decorate the center however you like.
Serve the Christmas cookies in a homemade bowl made from plastic spoons. As with the lantern, you need a container for this, which you then decorate with the spoons. This time, stick the plastic spoons to the container facing outwards. Allow the glue to dry and then serve the freshly baked cookies in it.
You can also make such a Santa Claus from several recycled things. The plastic spoons are glued to a plastic bottle of any size. You can decorate Santa Claus's hair with a garland. In this case, the nose consists of a lid. A button or a bobble is also suitable.
