Spoon Flower Mirror

 

Supplies

  • 16 inch card board circle (I used a Wilton cake circle from a craft store)

  • 6 -8 inch circle mirror (I choose one with beveled edges for a finished look)

  • 1 soda tab from a soda can

  • 1 metal paper brad

  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks

  • 80-90 CLEAR plastic spoons

  • Wire cutters

  • Spray paint-color of your choice

  •  

Instructions

Position mirror in the center of card board circle and trace around it for reference.

Using a pair of wire cutters (I found this works the best!) snap off the bottom portion of your spoons. I used clear spoons so I did not have to worry about painting the back side. Do not worry if spoon ends are not cut perfectly straight, they will not show in the final project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Create a small hole in the top of your card board circle with a pair of scissors. Insert a  metal brad through the hole of the soda tab on the back side of the card board, folding back wings of brad on the front to create the hanger. Tack down with a dollop of hot glue if needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place a dot of hot glue close to the edge of card board circle. Avoid creating a line a glue, this will show in the end. Position the spoon so half of it extends beyond the circle. Glue spoons side by side, overlapping a bit if necessary to fit the circumference.

Continue gluing the next row, making sure to position spoons so they cover ends of the first row of spoons.

You will need four rows of spoons. Make sure the last row extends into the circle you drew for the mirror so it will cover the edges of your spoons.

Spray paint your project in a well ventilated area. Make sure to cover the cardboard for a professional look.

Using your hot glue gun, position the mirror in the center and glue in place. Using your hanger on the back of mirror, hang on the wall and enjoy your new look!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups of Member's Mark Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter (used throughout)

  • 3 cups of Member's Mark Buttermilk Pancake Mix

  • 2 cups of Member's Mark Vitamin D Whole Milk

  • 2 Member's Mark Pasture Raised Grade A Large Brown Eggs

  • 5 teaspoons of Magnolia-Star Pure Vanilla Extract (used throughout)

  • 2 cups of Driscoll's Sweetest Batch Blueberries

  • 1 cup of Member's Mark Organic 100% Pure Maple Syrup

  • Member's Mark Original Dairy Whipped Topping

  • 1 cup of Member's Mark Honey Almond Granola

 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Place ¼ cup (½ of a stick) of butter on a 13”x 8” sheet pan. Place it in the oven to melt the butter while making the batter.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, eggs, milk, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Stir until combined. Note: Batter will still be lumpy, let it sit for 3-4 minutes before baking.

  4. Pour batter onto the sheet pan with the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread batter, creating an even surface. Sprinkle berries on top.

  5. Place the sheet pan into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on top and cooked through.

  6. Let cool slightly, then cut into 12 squares.

  7. While the pancakes are baking, create your syrup. Place 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring continuously. Continue cooking the butter once melted, until the butter begins to brown and smells fragrant. Remove from heat (butter will continue to brown)

  8. Stir 3 teaspoons of vanilla and the maple syrup into the butter, and stir until combined.

  9. To serve, place a pancake on a plate. Top with syrup and a sprinkle of granola on top.

 

Yield: 12 pancakes/2 cups of syrup
