Update a simple glass butter dish by adding a bent piece of silverware. Glue to top using a good adhesive like E-6000. It's probably best to wash by hand.
Total Time: 30 mins.
The knobs and handles for kitchen cabinets are so expensive unless you want to settle for plain old wooden knobs. Here is how my husband and I were able to have something a little fancier with lots less money.
Silverware can be used for all sorts of creative craft ideas. This is a page about bending silverware for crafts.
I wanted some unusual tie-backs for my curtains. So I had the idea to take two beautiful old silverplated spoons that I owned and I bent them back into a "U" shape.
Take old silver fork which you can pick up a yard sales, etc. Need four prong one, bend outside prongs at an angle and separate and bend up middle to prongs.
I once tried to drill through silverware and could not do it. Is there a trick to it?
By Nancy B.
I have heard that you need a special type of drill bit.
I use a drill press, I have made silverware jewelry and other thing from old silverware for years.
We use drill bits for metal drilling....use slow speed...we use a handdrill
I think you r suppose to use a titanium drill bit
Anyone know how to make flowers out of old silver flatware?
I have seen some really lovely flowers at craft fairs but when I inquired about how they were made it seemed it was very complicated and I would need to have real 'workshop' tools to make them.
