Upcycling: Revamped Utensils

Revamped_Utensils
I love puttering in junk shops and flea markets, finding various odds and ends that I can’t live without. And one of the things I’m always finding is great, but mismatched, silverware. This technique is a great way to make unmatched silver a little more of a set.

Things you’ll need:
Silverware or serving pieces
Spray paint or oil based enamel paint
Painter’s tape
Wire
Newsprint

Things to do:
1. Clean the silverware well and dry carefully. You want to avoid any fingerprints, oils or water on the handles.

2. Tape off the top of each piece, creating a straight line at the top of the handle.

3. Spray or dip the handle with the paint, coating the exposed silver with paint. Repeat until well coated but not thick.

4. Wrap the top of the piece with wire and hang over the newsprint to dry.
