F.E.F.R: DIY: Spoons Frame

Tons of free time and the recent introduction to Pinterest led me to create today's post. There are so many cool DIY ideas on Pinterest, which are so doable yet look somehow look abstract and complicated to do. I decided to give it a go nonetheless. I made this mirror frame from plastic spoons, awesome right? Simple, easy and looks good.

First things first, I needed to get all the components to make this frame possible.(the following locations are in Dubai, U.A.E). I got:

3 Packs of plastic spoons - 10Dhs

I skipped a few steps with my pictures.

I measured the circumference of the mirrors face by tracing it on to the card board, I then draw another slightly smaller circle within the one I had traced to ensure the frame of the mirror is covered.
I measured roughly 15cm from the circle I first traced and drew another big circle with the help of a compass.
I cut out the outermost and innermost circle. Once I did this, I group of the ends of the spoon by hand and filed down the rough ends with some sand paper I found in the house. You don't need to do this for all the spoons, just for the few that will be visible in the first row.
I heated up the glue gun once I had finished breaking all the spoons and began glowing them one by one from the inner row to the outer.

Once it was all done it was time to spray paint!

After letting dry for about an hour, just to be on the safe side. I heated up the glue gun once again and stuck the mirror on to the back of the card board and voila!

The Final Product!
