When we think about cute crafts for Easter, bunnies, and chicks spring to mind. These plastic spoon chicks are full of color and can and should be personalized!

Plastic Spoon Chicks for Easter

Easter is a holiday where people get together to celebrate family, religious beliefs, and togetherness. The holiday almost always is celebrated with a feast with many people around the table. So I’ve put together these cute easter placeholders that the kids will love and the adults will smile over.

Plastic Spoon Chicks for Easter

I originally made these plastic spoon chicks for Craft Stores via DecoArt. They asked me to create a fun Easter project using Craftsmart paint. I actually am a big fan of Craftsmart paint and highly recommend it for kid’s crafts. It’s also great for adult projects too. It goes on nicely and there are quite a few colors to choose from.

To make this Easter chick craft, you can print off the full instructions below. If you like chick crafts, these jellybean chicks are also great as placeholders!

What You’ll Need To Make Plastic Spoon Chicks

  • 5 plastic spoons
  • 5 terracotta pots
  • Fine grit sandpaper
  • Pencil with new eraser
  • Floral foam
  • Cardstock
  • White ribbon
  • White tissue paper
  • Hot glue gun
  • White craft glue
Craftsmart paint:
You can find Craftsmart paint specifically through Michael’s or you can find similar colors online that I will link below!
  • Butter Cream- similar to DecoArt’s Buttercream
  • Pink- similar to this Pink Chiffon
  • Grape Taffy
  • Pool Blue- slightly lighter in color is this Pale Blue
  • Spearmint- similar is this DecoArt Leprechaun
  • Orange
  • Black
  • White


Making the Plastic Spoon Chicks:

Plastic Spoon Chicks for Easter step 1 and 2

Gently sand the shine off the spoons, dust them off and paint them.

Plastic Spoon Chicks for Easter step 3 and 4

I used a block of floral foam to hold them while they dried.

Plastic Spoon Chicks for Easter step 5 and 6

Add white polka dots up the handles.

Plastic Spoon Chicks for Easter step 7 and 8

Paint terra cotta pots white and paint the rims with the colored paint. Add matching polka dots.

Plastic Spoon Chicks for Easter step 9 and 10

Cut floral foam into small squares and glue them inside the pots. Add the beaks and the eyes.

Plastic Spoon Chicks for Easter step 11 and 12

Cut pieces of card stock for the name tags. Write names on and add the “hands” using your finger dipped in paint.

Plastic Spoon Chicks for Easter step 13

Insert the spoon chicks into the floral foam. Tie ribbon into bows and glue to the neck.

Fill with tissue paper and glue on the name tags!

Instructions

  • Lightly sand the front and back surfaces of the plastic spoons.

  • Paint the terra cotta pots white. When dry apply a second coat.

    Amanda, these are the cutest EVER! I love Easter! I love the idea of family and friends gathering without all the gift giving etc. It is more a time of loving, sharing and making memories! ‘A reminder of “Things Beautiful”. Fresh grass and leaves, flowers, little birds and bunnies, and a time to begin anew! The Spoon Chick Placeholders are awesome and the colors are so Spring! They would make a wonderful gift for everyone to take home at the end of the day. Thank you for all the joy you share!

    Cover the Foam with plastic wrap and then add jelly beans, chocolate eggs, or mints around the spoon for a sweet treat.

    Why couldn’t you use small styrofoam cups put enough flower foam in the bottom to hold the spoon put in s amall amout of grass and top them off with easter candies for a treat to have after dinner?
