Spoon Tulip Or Spoolip?

admin

Tomorrow is my mothers birthday and I had been trying to figure out what to make for her.  I remembered the thread posted recently about a flower made of spoons.  I thought I would give that a try.  It is a tulip...kind of.  I discovered after making it that a tulip only has 6 petals, not 10.  Oh well, too late now.  I hammered the stem to give it a nicer look.  Hope you guys like the flower.  Wow, that wasn't a very manly thing to say...

Reply:Great job, but welders spooning?I don't know if the world is ready for that.
Reply:Even better than Target: just go to your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, or thrift store.  You can usually pick up a handful of old silverware for pennies.

Reply:Originally Posted by bartels_metal_worksWell, you see...I thought about that a little too late in the day.  As it was I took a half day off from work the day before her birthday to make it.  There are no thrift stores in my town, so I would have been driving a lot and wasting fuel.  This time it just worked out best to go to Target.
