I love breathing new life into salvaged items. I saw a fork easel on sale last year on Etsy and went crazy last Christmas making them, I think everyone got an easel with a diy chalkboard tray. All you need is an old silver or silver-plate fork, some needle-nose pliers and patience, a vice also helps! Did I mention I love to bend silver-plate flatware, lol. I have an entire bin of broken pieces, and I will post in the future with projects I have completed with them.
Here is the finished project, I think they are so cute !!
I love love love the stuff you create!!! Just wished I could find some plated cutlery
You can buy large lots on ebay, craft quality, mixed lots for a great price. I also love going to auctions. I prefer scratched old silver-plate, it adds personality.
Reblogged this on Lockets and Pearls.
thank you
Love this
Thank you
I just looked at your blog, wow, I love your plates !
I did
You are doing many things that are on my list to learn, like paper quilling, just beautiful. That watermelon is just crazy !! Great job
paper quilling took me 3 hours and same with the watermelon. both which i won’t do again. just wanted to try it ONCE!!!!!
I had the watermelon on facebook and i was asked to carve one for a co-workers wedding (i said no) they are SO time consuming and don’t last more then a week
what craft are you up to this weekend?
I am loving ALL your silverware creations! fabulous!
thank you
