Hello everyone sorry for the slightly odd. post. My sister is getting married in a week. Her wedding was meant to be in June and has been scheduled now at the last minute.

I'd like to get her a sentimental present.Our mum died 5 years ago and I'd like to acknowledge her in a some way. Our mum had a wooden spoon with flowers and ribbon on it when she got married. My mum's favourite flower was a sunflower. So I wanted to get my sister a spoon with sunflowers if I could. Does anyone know where I could order one at short notice or how I could make one myself. I have limited shops where I live the only shops with craft supplies are the works and poundland 😅😅😅
Thanks so much for reading.

If you funded the cost of materials and postage I’d be happy to make you one! (I have a graphics degree) x

I was just going to say Google Welsh love spoons. You'll find lots.

There are businesses on etsy and eBay that I'm sure would be able to help you.

Awwww thank you so much. I'll have a look at Welsh love spoons. It was quite a tacky 1980s affair of a spoon my mum had.
I'll send you a message too @Wingingthis

The Etsy shops say they’re not accepting orders.

To do yourself with pyrography involves buying a tool a bit like a soldering iron which burns the picture in as you draw. Amazon for the tool and some plain spoons if you can’t find anything suitable.
