Description
Create beautiful layered water lilies using plastic spoons, metallic blue paint, and tea lights for a calming decorative piece.
Ingredients
- Plastic spoons (white or clear)
- Metallic blue paint (acrylic or spray paint)
- A small paintbrush
- Tea light candles (battery-operated)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
- A craft mat or protected work surface
- Optional: Glitter or pearl accents
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your materials on a clear surface.
- Take about 10 to 12 plastic spoons and carefully cut the handles off.
- Starting with one spoon, gently hold it in your palm and apply a thin layer of paint.
- Set the painted spoons aside to dry and repeat this for all your spoons.
- While your spoons dry, prepare a small base for your water lily.
- Once the spoons are dry, take your hot glue gun and layer the spoons to create a flower shape.
- As you glue each spoon, savor the moment.
- After gluing the layers together, paint the outer edges of the spoons.
- Let your layered lily dry completely.
- To complete the piece, place a tea light in the center of your lily.
