Turn old spoons into cupboard handles
If you’ve got some old, mismatched spoons sitting in your drawers, you might want to think about giving them a new lease on life by putting them on display as eye-catching cupboard handles.
What you’ll need:
- Silver plate spoons (stainless steel will work, but require more effort to flatten and shape)
- Rubber mallet
- Screws
- Drill with metal drill bit
- Block of scrap wood
- Strong tape
Method:
- Use your rubber mallet to flatten the head of your spoon (don’t use a normal hammer, as you will damage the silver). You probably won’t be able to get a completely flat surface, but that makes the project more fun and beautiful.
- Use your hands to bend a ridge in the middle of the spoon until it resembles a cupboard handle.
- Use tape to attach the spoon to a block of wood and drill holes at the top and bottom of the spoon.
- Use screws to attach the spoon to your cupboard doors.
