Begin by snapping the spoons at the curve or neck of the utensil. You will find they snap quite easily in this part, and they will also best fit your planter if snapped here. 

Place the spoon heads on some scrap paper and apply two coats of gold spray paint. Be sure they are facing curved side up, since this is the way they will be displayed on the planter.

While the spoons dry, apply a coat of gold paint to the outside and inside rim of the flower pot. Be sure to remove the plant before painting.

Once the paint on the pot and spoons are dry, you can begin gluing them onto the pot one at a time. They can slightly overlap. Continue working your way around the entire pot.
