DIY Nest Spoon Ornaments

I have created some  nest spoon ornaments for my shop. I thought I would share with you how to make your own shabby chic spoon ornament.

 For this ornament you will need a spoon. I use vintage silver plated spoons. You can find these spoons at garage sales or thrift stores. Another idea is to use a pretty spoon that may have been chewed up in the disposal.

You will also need some wire, a bit of moss, ribbon and  beads. I used fresh water pearls but any kind of bead will work.

On my spoon ornaments I added some rhinestones and a bird charm. I hand stamped the word nest onto the spoon. This step is not necessary because the ornament looks just as cute without the hand stamped word.

To make this ornament I used a drill and created a small hole in the handle of the spoon. I then attached some wire and a bit of ribbon.

To create the nest, I glued some moss and three pearl beads onto the spoon. If you like you can glue on a little bird charm as well.  The glue I use is E6000. You can purchase this glue online or at a craft store like Michael's. Let the glue set overnight.

The next day I glued some rhinestones onto the handle of the spoon. I let that glue set overnight as well.  

This is a fun and easy project.

These ornaments make fantastic hostess gifts

 Put these pretty nests on a Christmas tree or hang them in your kitchen as a tiny work of art.

Have fun creating your own ornament or you can purchase one of these pretty ornaments from my shop here.
