otancial Cutlery, aka. Flowering Spoons, is a labor of LOVE. My dream is becoming a reality right before your very eyes.

ould my dream be the inspiration you have been searching for? My dream is to teach you what I have learned in order to help you find joy and beauty.

It's So Easy

"I use plastic spoons, a Tealight Candle and a pair of longnose pliers to make the flower petals."

Now nicknamed "the spoon flower lady" by locals in the north central Florida town of Silver Springs,  Barbara Shoop has turned a nearly lost art into a flourishing little cottage industry.  Read all about how "it all started with a rose."

To Brighten Someone's Day

"Everyone loves receiving a gift, and flowers can brighten up even an ordinary day. These, however, are no ordinary flowers."

These are Botanical Cutlery flowers. These flowers are a custom piece of art, created with your own hands. Once you learn the basics, you will able to replicate most any flower. In fact, you'll probably catch yourself studying flowers in nature in order to capture their beauty in your art. To get it "just right."

Imagine the beautiful arrangements that can be made for tables at wedding receptions. Who needs a thrown bouquet when you may just take home a one-of-a-kind centerpiece?

With Botanical Cutlery

Botanical Cutlery is the perfect cottage industry for anyone with a willingness to learn. I will teach you what I have learned.

I have learned that beauty and uniqueness will always find a special place in the world. And that gifts made with one's own hands are the greatest gifts of all.

Welcome to Botanical Cutlery. I hope you find inspiration here.

Why shouldn't I take real flowers to my sick friend in the hospital?

This is due to a few, but very similar reasons:-

  1. Hospitals do not allow plants of
    any kind to be introduced into
    the environment where patient
    care is performed.
  2. Nature's flowers carry pollen,
    and sometimes tiny insects.
  3. Nature's flowers wilt and die.

It All Started With A Rose

Mom Shoop learned how to
make the rose first.

After that.....
the sky seems to be the limit on her creativity!
