After the proposal to keep the old forks and spoons, many had the question: “What now to do with them?”. In fact, there are a lot of ideas, you can’t list all of them, and the result will depend on your desire and creative impulse. But still, you will learn some of the most interesting ideas in this article.
Cabinet handles
Custom and stylish furniture handles are the guarantee that the room will look original. If you have a strong desire to “refresh” the interior and old furniture, handles made of spoons are the best option. To do this, you need to align the wide part of the spoon, bend its handle in the direction you need and simply screw on both sides to the cabinet. For convenience, you can write on a spoon what is in this closet so as not to get confused anymore. Cupronickel products will be the best material for such work.
Shade
To make an original chandelier with your own hands from spoons and forks is not difficult. For this product you will need a drill, metal ring, cutlery, small metal hooks, chain, pliers, rivet, file, rivets.
Fasten the metal strip into the ring with a rivet, and then drill the required number of holes with a drill for subsequent fixing of cutlery into them. Using a file, remove the burrs that appeared from the drill. The next step will be to drill the same holes on the tips of the handles of spoons or forks.
After this, it is necessary to thread the metal hooks into the holes on the ring and hang the cutlery on them. Then cut the chain into equal lengths and put on already existing hooks on four sides, the ends of which are clamped with pliers. Fasten the upper ends of the chains together with a small metal ring, through which an electric cable will subsequently pass.
Wall sconce
For such crafts, you only need a spoon, a small block of wood, a drill or super glue. The lower (wide) part of the spoon must be bent up, and the thin side screwed or glued vertically to the bar, then this design is placed on the wall. It is better to use a large spoon or even a soup ladle.
Napkin clip
If you wrap a large spoon or fork with a spiral, you can make an excellent napkin ring. For greater originality, a round glass or a beautiful stone can be glued to the wide part of the spoon.
Key hooks
And another original idea will be the manufacture of spoons and forks hooks for keys or any other small items. To do this, the device will need to be nailed to a wooden block and bent in the shape of a hook.
This is how a few simple actions will help to breathe a second life into old cutlery.
