Hang on to those plastic spoons, because we’ve got yet another way to turn them into something awesome! Mona used hers to create a fabulous garden sculpture. Friends, she made an artichoke. And I’m kind of ridiculously in love with it. She’s showing us how it’s done (in text and video) at Craft Klatch. A styrofoam ball, flattened at one end, provides the structure for this cute ‘choke. Mona glued a dowel into a hole in the bottom of the ball for the stem. After snapping off all the spoon handles, she started gluing the spoons on from the top down. Once all the glue was dry, Mona used a plastic-bonding spray paint in black and then followed up with green. This artichoke has made its home in a planter “amongst the seasonal flowers,” where it gets compliments galore!
