It is not a secret for anyone that cutlery over time becomes useless. And instead of throwing out and littering the environment, they can always be adapted on the farm and even make interesting crafts that will last another few years.
What interesting things can be done from old forks and spoons
After the proposal to keep the old forks and spoons, many had a question: “What should we do with them now?”. In fact, there are a lot of ideas, not to list them all, and the result will depend on your desire and creative impulse. But still some of the most interesting ideas you will find in this article.
Cabinet handles
Non-standard and stylish handles on the furniture - a guarantee that the room will look original. If you have a strong desire to “refresh” the interior and old furniture, spoon handles 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 it to the cabinet on both sides. For convenience, you can write on the spoon that it is in this closet, so as not to be confused anymore. The best material for such work will be nickel silver items.
Shade
Making an original chandelier with your own hands from spoons and forks is not difficult. For this product you will need a drill, a metal ring, cutlery, small metal hooks, a chain, pliers, a rivet gun, a file, rivets.
Fasten the metal strip into the ring using a rivet gun, and then drill the required number of holes with a drill to fix the cutlery in them. Needle files remove the burrs that appeared from the drill. The next step is to drill the same holes at the tips of the spoons or forks.
After that, it is necessary to thread the metal hooks into the holes on the ring and hang cutlery on them. Then cut the chain into equal lengths and put the hooks on the four sides on the existing ones, the ends of which clamp with pliers. Fasten the upper ends of the chains together with a small metal ring through which the electrical cable will later pass.
Wall candle
For such crafts you only need a spoon, a small piece of wood, a drill or superglue. The lower (wide) part of the spoon should be bent up, and the thin side should be screwed or glued vertically to the bar, then this construction should be placed on the wall. It is better to use a large spoon or even a ladle.
Tissue clip
If you wrap a large spoon or fork, you can make an excellent napkin ring. For greater originality, a round glass piece or a beautiful stone can be glued to the wide part of the spoon.
Key Hooks
And another original idea would be the manufacture of key hooks or any other small items from spoons and forks. To do this, the device will need to be nailed to a wooden block and bent in the form of a hook.
This is how a few simple actions will help breathe a second life into old cutlery.
