Create a beautiful patriotic flower candle holder using decoupaged plastic spoons and a wood slice. This easy red, white, and blue DIY craft is perfect for summer holidays like Memorial Day and the Fourth of July!

Directions

Step 1 – Prep Your Petals

Then separate your napkins and decoupage a layer onto the spoon heads. Let them dry fully before layering. Use different napkins for a mix of patterns and colors—this gives the flower a more dynamic and fun look. Cut the handles off the plastic spoons.

Step 2 – Arrange the Petals

Start gluing your petals in a circular pattern—divide your flower into red, white, and blue segments or mix them for a whimsical look.

Step 3 – Add the Center

Use a wood slice or wrap jute rope into a circle for the middle. You can also repurpose a candle holder, like I did in one version.

Section 2 – Arrange the Petals

Before assembling, let your decoupaged spoons dry fully. Group them by pattern—blue with stars, red textures, floral whites—for easy arranging later.

All the ‘petals’ prepped and ready to bloom! Organizing them by pattern helps with even spacing when gluing
