#2 Beaded Spoon

This is my #2 craft only because some of the mommies had trouble getting started. Once everyone was started it was a super easy craft to put together and everyone's looked great! I personally love that however you put your beads on the spoon ends up looking great. I am sure that my mommies loved doing something different than painting, gluing, or scrapbooking. I bought cheap serving spoons from Wal-Mart for 4 for $1. This really helped to offset the price of the beads and I stayed within my budget by buying all of the beads when they were 50% off at Hobby Lobby. It worked out to be about 20 of the larger sized beads per spoon and then about 10 seed beads. I connected the wire to the spoon by hot gluing a large flat bead to the far end and then wrapping the wire around a few times and curling it in the back. When I got to the end by the scoop we again curled the wire and hid it on the back. One downside of this craft is that the spoon is not dishwasher safe but that didn't seem to bother anyone in my MOPS group. There is an old MOPS forum for this idea here. The name is life and the password is together. We did this craft over a year ago and I still have people mentioning how much they enjoyed it!
