Starting from the bottom of the jug, use the hot glue gun to attach the spoon heads in overlapping rows. Position the spoons with the bowl side facing outwards to create a scale-like texture.
Continue gluing the spoons in rows, working your way up to the top of the jug, ensuring each row overlaps the previous one slightly to cover the jug completely.
Once the jug is fully covered, allow the glue to set and dry completely.
Insert the LED light bulb and cord set through the top opening of the jug, ensuring the bulb is centered inside the jug.
Plug in the cord and enjoy your new upcycled spoon lamp!
Variations & Tips
To personalize your upcycled spoon lamp, consider using colored plastic spoons for a vibrant and playful look or spray painting the spoons before attaching them for a more sophisticated finish. If you prefer a smaller lamp, use a smaller jug and adjust the number of spoons accordingly. For an added touch, weave a string of fairy lights around the spoon heads for a twinkling effect. Experiment with different shapes of jugs or bottles to create variations in lamp shape and size, allowing each creation to be unique.
