Nice flowers!
I saw on another forum that they were using a heat gun instead of a candle. Said it worked for them......

Congrats on the new car. I love the flowers.I'm planning on trying my hand at them soon.I think a heat gun would work,but I'll have to use a candle for now.
Soupermom......can I ask what you will be charging for the flowers? Thanks :)

What is really popular with the young girls is wearing flowers in their hair.I wonder if you can attach hair clips or bobby pins so they can slip on their hair.

I am wearing bandanas to hide the baldness and I could add one of your flowers to give it a little whimsy.

Great Idea

Boy you have really done well with your flowers. I am dying to try it and I have a heat gun too. Guess I will have to go look for some spoons. Thanks for sharing.

These flowers are so cute. Gal, you have ran with this one. Hey congrats on the new car.

the flowers keep getting better and better.
I love it that your new car has a bud vase!

They are so pretty! DH had a great idea putting one in the bud vase in your Beetle (I have always wanted one myself!). No need to water it! Why do I get the feeling that my spoon flowers would look more like a glob? he-he Keep sharing!

Gosh, these are WONDERFUL!!

It was me nona that found the heat gun does a good job on them they are so much fun but you really have to concentrate on them

I'm loving your flowers ! In fact - I just brought a whole plastic bag full of spoons down from the attic to "play" .
I'll admit - I don't ever remember seeing colored spoons . Where do you get them ? All I've ever seen is clear & white.
I'll practice on the white and buy some colored ones for the "good ones" .

Thanks, all!

nona--I havent tried a heat gun as i don't have one right now--trying to keep my cost down but thats an excellent idea! it would help prevent the occasional "whoops" scorch caused by the candles

roxanne--Im actually thinking i will have to drop the price, as what i feel they are worth is not what people are going to be willing to pay for plastic flowers. My plan was $7 for the flowers with stems and $10 for the potted ones. That being said, I'll probably be dropping them to $5 and $7..we'll see. The problem is that, while i have less than a dollar into each flower, they take a LOT of time to make so I dont know if I'm going to get my time well enough paid for to make it worth selling them :(

nanagrandma--what a great idea for hair clips! that's why i love this group--so creative!!

toomuchglass--I get the colored spoons at a local party supply store--they have every color of the rainbow. i buy a bag of 24 (which makes 2 flowers) for $1.79

Wow! Your spoon flowers came out beautifully. I might have to try this idea this summer when I have more time. Looks like fun. I would pay $10 for a flower pot but then again, I am into junk art. LOL!

Not sure, but I think the Dollar Store has different colored spoons sold by color. Dollar a box.
