A time to enjoy each others company while enjoying the hot weather and delicious food.
And with that comes the convenience and ease of using disposable cutlery when eating outdoors.
Here are our favourite and most inspiring projects using plastic spoons and forks.
For some, you wont even believe thats what theyre made from.
Plastic Spoon Christmas Tree
One Project Closer
Its Christmas in July!
We can just imagine how elegant this holiday decor would look on a table at Christmas time.
We love the use of traditional metallic colours by The Better Half.
Plastic Spoon Flowers
The Happier Homemaker
We were inspired by this project as soon as we found it.
We love the idea of making flowers out of melted plastic spoons.
They turned out so lovely and the possible uses are endless!
Plastic Spoon Mirror
Craftaholics Anonymous
This decorative mirror is made from spray painted clear plastic spoons.
There is a great tutorial from Craftaholics Anonymous and it looks so easy!
We love the bright colour, which gives the mirror a beautiful contemporary look.
This would definitely make saving up those plastic spoons worthwhile.
They would also make fun centerpieces at a birthday party or paint them pink/blue for a baby shower.
So, this summer, save up those plastic utensils to remake into clever new creations.
