I recently picked up some old spoons while out thrift shopping and decided to try altering one of them. I have seen many different kinds of altered silverware out in blogland...all of them beautiful. I decided to make mine a Christmas ornament. I cut off part of the handle and curled the rest back to make a loop then I put burgandy colored velvet on the spoon and added trim and embellishments. There is a great tutorial on how to do this at
Gingersnap Creations Blog. Thanks for stopping by my nest!

ReplyDeleteI have used Adirondack inks on old spoons, I love it that you covered it with the velvet, it looks antiquey. Clever idea.

ReplyDeleteYour spoon is so beautiful. I have wanted to do something with some I have but am such a chicken. Yours is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Robin! Good job!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful. Thank you for linking us to the tutorial. I wonder if there is a way to do this without the torch, for those of us who don't have one.
ReplyDeleteThis could be done with a fork also!
Or a butter knife with a pretty shaped blade.
If anyone has any ideas how to do this without the torch, I'd love to hear them!
