olive-fork-handle key fob in and out of my pocket.
Each time it made me smile to think of it's uniqueness.
It also made me think of all of the silverware projects I've done. I hope you don't mind that I took a little time to compile them all into one post just to satisfy my own curiosity.Using the same technique as the key fob, a spoon with
the initial J was turned into a necklace pendant.
I took a small collection, given to me as a gift,
and with an inexpensive tray, scrapbook paper and hot glue,
it became a pretty little display.
It looks even better tucked inside an apothecary jar
sitting along with the collection of silverware from my in-laws.
I used a spoon to embellish a treat tray.
My hubby helped me bend forks to use as small easels. 
Years ago, I framed a small fork to hang over
our bent fork coat hanger
that was made by our niece and her husband.
I've even hung spoons from our dining room chandelier using copper wire.
It may be a little odd, and be the start of a few conversations
("Why do you have spoons hanging from your light?"), but
why not accent with the things you love!
So there it is---
a collection of projects
made from a collection of silverware!

I love them all! I have a tiny silver baby spoon that one of our cousins gave me when I had our last little boy. She recently passed away at 97 years old, the last of her generation. I've wanted to display it somehow along with the sweet handwritten note she gave me with it. Thanks for the inspiration! Have a super day.

I've used large spoons and bent them, nailed them next to a window, and used them to hold open the curtains. It's like we're kindred spirits.
WOW! I love all of the creative things you'v edone with silverware. I recently put a bunch of inherited silver into a vase to display it instead of hiding it away and I love seeing it all the time now. Thanks for sharing all of these fabulous ideas!
What a great collection! I have a jar full of old silverware that I just LOVE! They are such beautiful pieces!! :)

The apothecary jars are my favorite. Glass just seems to make everything seem more special and beautiful!
Love all your silverware! I picked up several pieces last month and have been wondering what to do with them. I love the set on the silver tray. I will definitely be making that into a project of my own sometime soon. Thanks for sharing all your amazing ideas.
I love them all. I am drawn to silverware...I really like the idea of the pieces in the apothecary jar. Easier to get to also!
Talk about finding the silver ligning...I love them all! I loved the ideas in your comments too. I have one more idea you all can try. Taking old golf clubs (often times you can find them at thrift stores) taking off heads and replacing with forks to use as marshmallow and hot dog roasters. My siblings and I all have a set and we love them. They make for much longer sticks and you have a nice hand grip to hold on to to boot. Cheap and fun!!
I love old silverware and have been gifted with a few wonderful things created from old silverware.....after reading your wonderful post I am very close to trying a few things for myself! I already have a few pieces of silverware from my favorite thrift shop ready and waiting to be made into something special :o) Thanks for sharing all your great ideas.
Wonderful! I fell in love with each picture! How creative you are!
Love your blog!!
Smiles,

Every project is so unique! One of a kind as you are!
Wow! What great ideas....I've got to try this. :-)
What lovely and imaginative ways to re-use and display your silverware, it's given me great inspiration.
Your framed silverware inspired me to come up with my own little project! You can see it here (http://oldtimemeartist.blogspot.com/) if you want to stop and take a look - I gave you credit!
Thanks again!

So I was looking through Pinterest trying to find some silverware silhouette art that I apparently didn't pin and I came across your silverware/scrapbook paper/tray art!! I love it! And Yay for another use for that $1 tray! Fabulous! I'm making it a Darling tomorrow!!
And now I have a terrific idea for my stash of odds and ends silverware! Thanks!
