Wooden Spoon Craft Project

What better way to brighten a gloomy day than to make wooden spoons flowers. To make these craft flowers, you will need a long handled wooden spoon, acrylic paint, paint brush, cup, wooden craft shapes, glue and beads or small colored cotton balls.

First step: you need to paint the entire handle of the spoon green to represent the stem. You can place the spoon in the cup until the paint dries.

Next step: you can glue the wooden shapes or your foam pieces on to the bowl part of the spoon to make the petals. Don't worry about covering the entire bowl of the spoon, the center part will be covered later. Once the glue dries, kids can go back over and paint the wooden pieces or add details to the petals such as stripes or dots, let their imagination do the work.

Last step: once all the paint is dried, glue your beads of cotton balls to the center of the bowl of the spoon to make the center of the flower. Multiple flowers could be made to make a complete bouquet or a flower garden. All supplies can be purchased at a local craft store.
