Step 1 of 9

This was an old cabinet door I got for .50!!!

Step 2 of 9

Using a wire cutter, cut the neck off all the spoons. I used about 6 bags.

Step 3 of 9

Hot glue leaving a small space between each.

Step 4 of 9

Fill in the gaps with the second row of spoons.

Step 5 of 9

Keep going until you have it filled to the mirror's edge.

Step 6 of 9

I used a gray primer spray paint, but depending on the color you are painting it, you could use white.

Step 7 of 9

Once primed, paint the darkest color starting in the center then work your way out.

Step 8 of 9

I painted 3 layers of spoons one color before adding white paint to make the next 3 layers.

Step 9 of 9

One you have the layers, take it outside and spray with a gloss sealer.

I'm sorry, Barbara! I left out the step of attaching the mirror. I marked where the mirror would go, painted the edge of the mirror the darkest color, then continued hot gluing the spoons until I got close to the markings. I then used hot glue to attach the mirror and finished gluing the spoons to the edge of the mirror.
