Flower Mirror made with Plastic Spoons

Yup, I made a mirror with SPOONS. Isn't it so much fun to make pretty things from everyday objects? Well yesterday I made this round flowerish mirror out of cheap plastic spoons. This is my third "Pinterest-inspired" project I've done. You can see the first two here and here. 

Awhile back I seen on Pinterest this ah-mazing mirror that Addicted 2 Decorating made. I loved it the moment I saw it. She has an awesome tutorial on how to make it on her site you can find here. If you want to pin her mirror to Pinterest, please do so from her site.

So that was definitely my inspiration for making my own spoon mirror. I thought hers looked beautiful. So anyways I had that pinned for awhile and then I saw that Young House Love, Bower Power, Ten June, and Centsational Girl are hosting a summer pinterest challenge. You make your own version of something you pinned and share it. So the mirror was a perfect project for me to share. I've been wanting to make this plus it was easy for me to make with a hurt foot. My dear sweet husband (hi hun if you're reading this!) went and bought me the supplies I needed.

I used:

165 Plastic Spoons (the cheaper the better)

7" Round Mirror

Piece of cardboard I cut 15" in diameter 

Spray primer made for plastic

Spray paint in Oxford Blue

So the first process was cutting the handles off the spoons. After awhile your hands really do hurt. So take breaks!

Next is the fun part of attaching them with hot glue to the cutout. This was pretty fun. Except for the fact I got a little distracted and some off them were a little off. But, it still turned out ok so no worries!

I then took it outside to prime and paint it.

If you do this project, make sure you buy a primer made for plastic.

After my paint dried, I brought it in and hot glued my mirror to the back of it.

I glued a soda tab on the back so it would be easy to hang.

And voila! I now have a pretty mirror for my living room. I'm not sure where I'm hanging it yet, I just put it up on the wall for a quick picture. I love how it adds so much texture to the room tho. I love it, I think it's pretty awesome. Yay for Pinterest again! So have any of ya'll done a Pinterest project that you just love recently?
