After seeing these on Pinterest, I thought... "I can do that". This shop sells them for $15, but I had some leftover Mason jars from my Hillbilly Wineglasses, and I knew I could get some spoons at Goodwill for a Quarter a piece. Definitely cheaper than $15 a pop. They were using theirs as planters, but I thought I could make cute little votive holders for my little patio area.
I found three different spoons, and then with the help of my neighbor's vice, some pliers, a hammer, and some significant muscle, I created three Spoon Hooks. My hubbs was kind enough to drill the holes and attach them to the trees for me.
I used white beans inside the jars to stabilize the votives, and some 18 gauge wire to create the hanging loops.I keep the lids on the jars when the candles aren't lit to keep the rain out. They add a quirky and creative touch to my little patio.
