I know it’s a bit early for Easter crafts, but I wanted to give you enough time to start collecting vintage spoons, the primary supply for this easy to make egg holder arrangement.
To do this project, find straight side bottles and jars. I used the milk glass cosmetic jar and clear spice bottle.
Collect various inexpensive spoons from thrift stores and flea markets (I prefer pretty vintage ones).
Bend the bowls of the spoons at the neck at a 90º angle.
Rubberband the jar and slide spoons under the bands, keeping in mind that if you space them too close, the eggs may not fit.
Pull out your vintage ribbon…
and tie around the jar to hide the bands.
Add pretty flowers and enough water to keep them fresh.
Then add the eggs. My eggs are courtesy of the cute little Holden hens, but of course you can use colored and decorated eggs as well.
You can also make these into candle holders for your Easter table.
Slip a vintage plate or platter under to make the arrangement just a bit more grand.
How easy was that?!
Cathe, I absolutely love this idea. I’ve got a bunch of junk silver spoon about and this is a perfect idea for them. Thanks!
Wonderful .. Thrift store here I come.

Easy and DANG cute! Time to hunt down some spoons…thanks for sharing.
OMG! I can’t WAIT to make some of these! We host a huge Easter egg hunt every year and my Easter decorating/crafts were wearing a bit thin. These will be fabulous! Thank you!
The perfect centerpiece for an Easter table! Gorgeous!
I love these ideas. Thank you for sharing.
It is never too early to start thinking of easter and spring.
A new follower, just figured the whole thing out! But I had been admiring your blog for quite a while.. I remember dying Easter eggs as a child. My mother would bend her spoons but never set them up in such a pretty way. Thanks for the memories. I would love to have you stop over and visit my new blog sometime, your button is added.
oh how cute this is, thank you for the idea.
Wow, Cathe! You never cease to amaze me! These are beautiful! If only I had kept the Araucana pullets instead of the roos I too could have had pretty blue eggs to decorate with…. long story….
I love seeing Easter stuff, it means spring is right around the corner! YAY!
What a neat idea. Happy Foodie Friday!

Sweet, I am helping to run a thrift store named “Thrifters Rock” for our Church and this idea will help sell all those tired spoons! Thanks for the inspiration!
I LOVE it, stunning and best of all simple easy to make. This will definitely be on my table this Easter! Thanks
What a great idea Cathe! You could also put those Cadbury creme eggs in the spoons instead of real eggs.
I remember years ago when I was making wind chimes out of old silverware. I asked my mother-in-law if she had any old silver she would like me to fashion into a windchime for her and she handed me 5 forks. 20 years later I inherited the Fraces 1st Sterling and it was missing 5 forks! LOL

How very cute!

Is it Easter yet?! I just may make one for year-round. I like the way they look without the eggs too. Time to start junkin and thriftin. Thank you for sharing this idea!
Thank you so much for this fantastic idea. I actually have great vintage spoons that I have been waiting to use for something, but I didn’t know what. Now I do! Thanks again. Love your blog!
That is so pretty! Thanks for sharing it!
You ever have one of those moments when you are kicking yourself because you saw something and you didn’t buy it? I saw those little white jars the other day, tons of them, of course no where close by for a dollar each! Did I buy any, nope! Adorable idea, thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful idea. I was all ready for some complicated instructions to create my own but was pleasantly surprised when it was so simple. Love love love it!
That is so pretty!!
Brilliant. You have been blessed with the crafty genius gene.
This is so darned cute I can just barely stand it! I collect vintage silverplate flatware. I am absolutely going to copy you and make this. Thanks for such a wonderful idea.
What a fabulous idea!
Simply beautiful, and YES – so easy! Thank you!!

I thought I had seen every way to use vintage spoons but you’ve given us a fresh one! Lovely!
Wow, what a great idea! And it’s never too early for Easter crafts. Thanks for sharing this!
I love this! I’m going to do this! Thanks!
What fun, Cathe! Very creative – love the different ways to use these spoons – am thinking of hitting the thrift store tomorrow and making one of these for each of my three daughters – might even make them for granddaughters as well, if I can find enough spoons. Thank you so much for sharing.
Stunning! What a wonderful idea.
Brilliant and absolutely adorable. It’s hard to find Easter/Spring decor that isn’t overly “cutesy.” I can’t wait to make this for myself and I may have to gift a few as well! Thank you!!
LOVELY!! Such a sweet and creative idea. Will be looking for spoons between now and Easter. Thanks!
love the egg holders, so creative!
So very clever!
What a pretty centerpiece! I love how just changing from flowers to candles, it gives it a totally new look. Love both of them!

Love this idea! Love using vintage inspired items to decorate
I am so excited to find your blog! Oh, what I wouldn’t give for a studio of my own! I love this idea! I did a kitchen shower last fall with table arrangements similar to this! I took tall straight-sided vases and used kitchen utensils around the vase. The bride’s colors were blue and silver and I got lucky and found utensils at the dollar store that had blue handles and the working parts were metal. I used a spatula, slotted and not slotted spoons, a pasta stirrer thing-a-ma-jig, and another non slotted spatula and positioned them around the vase with the angle of the utensils flaring out at the top. I tied blue ribbon with silver glitter polka dots around the vases and filled them with blue hydrangeas. They were given as prizes for the games played at the shower. I love your blog and will certainly be visiting often for inspiration! Thank you!
This is one of the best ideas I’ve seen in a long time. Such a simple, yet beautiful way to show off Easter eggs. I think it’s just as pretty without the eggs!!
Oh now I have to do that project too. It’s so easy and creative, love it. For some reason this time of year I get so inspired and just don’t have enough time to make all the projects I see and think up. I love seeing all the wonderful crafts people are making. Long live crafting and using our imagination and reusing old things.
Wow! So cute and creative, love your ideas!
muy bueno!!!! felicitaciones!!!!!!!!!!!

I am looking for a rather ornate silver spoon or two that have been bent into either a candle holder or some attractive design or wall decoration…
any ideas?
