10 Recycled/Repurposed Cutlery Round Up




Who loves a round up. I do. So much inspiration on one topic all in one place.

 The Creative Challenge is to recycle/repurpose cutlery. 

 It has definitely been a challenge for me. I looked around for something, anything I could use for this challenge but came up empty handed. 

 So what's a girl to do? 

 Feature some wonderful projects from a few awesome creative bloggers!


10 Recycled/Repurposed Cutlery Round Up

So here it is. The round up. Inspiration to create something of your own. Enjoy.

Amanda from Musings to Manifestations made bookmarks from cutlery handles. She embellished them with silver chain and wire-wrapped beads. We both think the result is quite pretty and fun.

You really need to read the tutorial for these magnificent napkin rings. The instructions are detailed and loaded with plenty of images.

 They are adorable and practical.





Cutlery Wind Chime

Using silverware to make wind chimes is such a great idea. You can get all kinds of inspiration on the net.

 This base for this wind chime is a silver plated tea pot. They used glass beads to embellish.


Well we've come to end of this round up. Did you find something inspiring here? I want to make a wind chime. You just might see my version of a cutlery wind chime in a future post.

    Darlene, this is an awesome round-up. I can't decide whether I like the plant hooks or napkin rings more. But they are all great projects!

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh...

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas...
