Plastic Spoon Lamp

If you are the type of person that only eats off of plastic spoons or just someone that has access to a lot of plastic spoons, you might like this project. 

Materials - Clean, plastic 2 liter bottle, exact-o-knife, lots of plastic spoons, hot glue gun, wire cutters and lamp kit.

Step 1 - Gather your spoons and a large plastic bottle. You will need about 200 plastic spoons and one 2 liter bottle. If you ate off of the spoons, wash them.

Step 2 - Cut the handle of the spoons off so you only have the bowl and a small (about a cm) part of the handle.

Step 3 - Using an exact-o-knife, cut the bottom of the bottle off. Leave a small bit of the bottom for a nicer look

Step 4 - Starting at the bottom of the bottle, glue on the spoon bowls side to side. Do this until you make it the entire way around. Then, glue on the next level in the spaces between the first layer. Continue doing this layer after layer until you get to the top.

Step 5 - Now, drop you lamp kit through the top, attach to top of bottle and screw in your lightbulb. Make sure you keep the bottle from touching the bulb, otherwise, it will melt quickly. After this, you are done!

***NOTE***
Depending on which type of bulb you use, you will get a different effect. I used a energy efficient compact fluorescent light bulb. This shows the 'grains' in the spoons which I really like. However, if you use an incandescent light bulb, it will have more of a draping effect and looks very nice.
