Spoons with Style

Spoons with Style

When you see what cool things people can make out of plain old plastic spoons, you might never throw out a spoon again. On one site, an artist used the scoop parts of 125 plastic spoons to make a lamp that looks like a pineapple. On another page, someone else glued together 250 spoon scoops to make an 18-inch-wide flower face around a clock. Now we can decorate our houses while saving some trash from the dump, too.
