Five interesting uses for old spoons and forks

It's no secret that cutlery deteriorates over time. And instead of throwing them away and littering the environment, you can always use them on the farm and even make interesting crafts that will last for several more years.

What interesting things can be made from old forks and spoons

After the proposal to save old forks and spoons, many people asked the question: “What should we do with them now?” In fact, there are a lot of ideas, it’s impossible to list them all, 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

Non-standard and stylish handles on furniture are the key to making the room 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 on both sides to the cabinet. For convenience, you can write on the spoon what is in this particular cabinet, so as not to get confused anymore. The best material for such work will be nickel silver products.

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, chain, pliers, rivet tool, needle file, rivets.

Fasten the metal strip into a ring using a riveter, and then drill the required number of holes with a drill to subsequently secure cutlery in them. Using a needle file, remove any burrs caused by the drill. The next step is to drill the same holes on the tips of the handles of spoons or forks.

After this, you need to thread the metal hooks into the holes on the ring and hang the cutlery on them. Then cut the chain into equal sections and put it on the 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 the electrical cable will subsequently be passed.

Wall candle holder

For this craft, you only need a spoon, a small block of wood, a drill or superglue. The lower (wide) part of the spoon must be bent upward, and the thin side must be screwed or glued vertically to the block, then this structure must be placed on the wall. It's better to use a large spoon or even a ladle.

Napkin clip

If you wrap a large spoon or fork in a spiral, you can make a great napkin ring. For greater originality, you can glue a round piece of glass or a beautiful stone to the wide part of the spoon.

Key hooks

And another original idea would be to make hooks for keys or any other small items from spoons and forks. To do this, you will need to nail the device to a wooden block and bend it into a hook shape.

This is how a few simple steps will help breathe a second life into old cutlery.
