Do you have old spoons that you don't know what to do with?  Here's a fun project, create flowers from them.  Take 5 spoons and arrange them in the shape of a flower, alternating the handle of the spoon being up or down. Once you are satisfied with your arrangement, glue the spoons with Marine Goop (make sure the area is well ventilated) Let it dry for 24 hour's to make sure the spoons attach.  Then take a metal skewer to make the stem of the flower; attach the stem to the back of the spoon with Marine Goop.  Let it dry.  Once dry, glue a washer and a nut to make the center of the flower.  Glue colored glass beads in the part where the liquid would go in the spoon.  Once dry, plant them in your garden  :)
To look for spoons, skewers, etc., join Fenton-Linden Freecycle, your local recycling group.  It's free to join, and free to ask for items.  To join, go to:
