DIY Spoon Mirror

November 8, 2016 by Shelia Norton Leave a Comment

Have you seen the things you can make with spoons now?  There are all kinds of things.  What caught my eye was a spoon mirror by Addictaed 2 Decorating.  There is a great tutorial on how to do it.

I decided the spoon mirror would look great above the foyer table I built.  If you haven’t seen it, click here.  I went to the store and gathered my supplies, spoons, and a mirror.  All together, it cost me about $7 for everything.  I did use cardboard for the back and not the wreath forms she used.  You will also need to cut a hole in the center so you can see your mirror when you attach it to the back.

Spoon Mirror Materials

I used wire cutters to cut all of my spoons.  Wire cutters were easier for me to use than scissors for this project.

After cutting all my spoons, I started placing the spoons on the cardboard.  At first, I started making the outside circle and decided that wasn’t work well for me.  I couldn’t get the spoons spaced correctly.  I then took them off and started around the mirror.  I just kept placing them in the “hole” right above the two spoons below.

You will notice I covered the edges with duck tape so the cardboard would have a smooth edge when I painted it.

I kept going around and around until I had enough spoons to cover the cardboard.  I ran out of spoons so I used some purple ones to finish.  I was going to prime it before I sprayed painted it so you wouldn’t be able to tell.

Next, I spray painted all the spoons.  I am trying to bring more color into the house, so I used a cherry red spray paint.  I took hot glue and attached the mirror from the back.  I used hot glue to attach jute to the back to make a hanger.  I also made some piping out of some fabric I had in my stash and wrapped it around a couple times.  I used it to cover up the ends of the spoons.

I love how it turned out and it looks great above my foyer table.  What do you think?
