Get ready with your supplies on the work-surface first!!
Take out the plastic spoons one by one and just cut their heads!
A scissor would be the right tool to cut accurately and nicely the heads of plastic spoons! Don’t cut only the head, leave a little part of the spoon handle and then cut!
Here is the bulb holder lid that should is to fit to hold from inside the bottle so the bottle will hang on the holder, so it should have the circumference bigger than the opening of plastic bottle to do so!
Go for some dry fittings before you start the project!
Now cut precisely the whole bottom of the plastic can using a sharp crafting knife! Get the directions from the given picture!
At the same time, cut also the opening or mouth of plastic bottle using the same craft knife!
Now start mounting the plastic spoon heads on all the sides of plastic can using glue gun!
Complete one round and then 2nd and hence you will be able to cover all the surfaces of plastic bottles!
Go more precisely while sticking the plastic spoons around the narrower opening!
When no space left for the plastic spoons to add more, your plastic spoon lamp shade is just ready to receive a bulb inside!
Now pass the bulb holder from narrower opening and tighten the lid to the holder by passing from the opposite side! The bigger size of the holder lid than the narrower opening of plastic can, will not let the holder go back outside making the whole lamp fall down dangerously! This is what you need to care about here while doing this DIY plastic spoon lamp project!

Hang this self-made lamp as a pendant lamp anywhere in your home like above the kitchen island table or in the bedroom!
Any dark space of home will also accept this lamp with open arm!
This handmade plastic spoon lamp is both praise-worthy and gift-worthy, so you can also use it in gift-giving!
