FIll a clear jar with the spoons and display them. This can be a wide, glass vase or an apothecary jar. Alternatively, you can use mason jars or small jars and put a few spoons in each one. The jars can be grouped together to create a funky centerpiece starring the souvenir spoons.

Make art with the spoons. Using a frame or shadowbox with a cloth backing, hot-glue the spoons to the cloth to create a cool piece of framed art you can hang. "You can do this with just one spoon or a group of spoons fanned out. Embellish the art by gluing ribbons or artificial flowers around or onto the decorative spoons.

Look around and find something plain you can jazz up, to get really creative with the spoons, or check out some vintage stores for things like lampshades, clocks or items to which you can hot-glue spoons. A lampshade covered in spoons would make an unusual conversation piece. Alternatively, drill holes in the spoons and make a hanging mobile from them. Think outside the box and use the spoons in a way that isn't traditional at all.
