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.

Silverware can be used for all sorts of creative craft ideas. This is a page about bending silverware for crafts.
Pick up a decorative fork at the thriftstore or a yard sale and create this photo holder. It is simple and fun. This is a page about recycled fork photo holder.
This decorative flower is made from used flatware spoons. This is a page about how to make a recycled spoon flower.
I saw this idea online. I had collected a lot of old jewelry and bought some old silverware from our neighbor's garage sale. So I put the two together to create this unique wall hanging.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to bend silverware to use as cabinet knobs and drawer pulls? I have both forks and spoons I want to use for this.
