Get her some help; it is not necessarily an attention thing, some serious issues might be at hand. I completely understand how she feels, these things can go on for years. Start early and let her get some control.
I would get her some counseling. It sounds like a cry for help and she needs support.
Please, please get your daughter some help. This may be nothing, or it may be a very serious warning sign. Get her in to talk to a counsellor ASAP - the worst that can come of that is being told there's nothing wrong.
OP PLEASE pay attention to this!! Whether she's seriously having a hard time or she's looking for attention, it could end badly if nobody helps her! She could do something to herself because she feels that she's not getting the amount of attention she needs! PLEASE help her! No matter her reasoning for doing this, your child needs help!!!
Uh.. I would be concerned.. It could continue and she could end up actually cutting herself with a knife or scissors or something. It's not really something to joke about.. Dangerous and unhealthy. Try talking to her?
This is not a "stage" kids go through. I hate when parents or even doctors call real psychological issues a stage. Especially at that age kids don't know the boundaries of life and death. It's all fun and games until oops you went too far. Your child needs someone to talk to, whether it's you, a close family friend, or a good psychologist/psychiatrist.
I doubt OP's child thinks this is 'fun and games'.

It isn't really important that she used a plastic spoon. If she wants to cut her wrist (and/or even commit suicide) she has a big issue. Please, take it seriously. Even kids can get in a depression, search help to get her back out again.
That...that is silly. However, you still should get that checked out. When I was 8, I threatened to kill myself with a butter knife (thought the butcher knives would hurt too much) and as ridiculous as it was, it was just before my onset of serious depression that I still struggle with.
