It sounds quirky, but it’s actually a clever DIY patio décor hack—not a mystery.
🌿 What she’s making
By weaving plastic soup spoons into chicken wire, you can create:
- A decorative privacy screen
- A shade panel or pergola cover
- A textured wall art piece
The curved shape of the spoons catches light and airflow, giving a leaf-like or mosaic effect.
🛠️ How it works
- Chicken wire acts as the frame
- Plastic spoons are pushed or clipped through the holes
- The handles can be trimmed or left for pattern design
👉 Arrange them tightly for shade, or spaced out for a lighter look.
✨ Why people love it
- Low-cost (often recycled materials)
- Weather-resistant (plastic doesn’t rot)
- Unique visual effect—especially in sunlight
- Customizable patterns and colors
⚠️ Things to keep in mind
- Plastic can fade or become brittle over time in strong sun
- Not very eco-friendly unless you’re reusing materials
- Needs secure mounting if used outdoors (wind can move it)
💡 Creative variations
- Spray-paint spoons for a uniform color
- Mix sizes for texture
- Use it as a garden divider or balcony screen
🧠 Bottom line
It’s a simple, creative reuse idea—turning everyday plastic into a stylish outdoor feature with minimal cost.
