Howdie folks!
Today I want to share a little project I did with that silverware (that isn’t really silver) I found at the flea market over Easter.
It is a sweet little project that turned out exactly like I had planned.
Want to make a wind chime yourself?
I’ve got you covered….
Just hop on over to Pretty Handy Girl. I am in her line up of DIY talent there today. Don’t know where Brittany got the idea that I have talent, but I’m not arguing
So see you over there!!
Oh and while you are there check out the wonderful tutorial posts of the talented ladies before me.
And maybe you have a little talent to share too. Well Brittany is having a special Linky Party on Friday. So prepare to link up!
Your wind chime is absolutely lovely! I love how you twirled the forks and used them as hangers. I have a cuttlery chime as well but it looks a little different and I have hung rags in it. I might add some more chrystals in it from a broken chandelier Im working with right now.
This is adorable! I love the way you bent the tines of the forks to use as hangers. The beads add just the right amount of bling and sparkle too. Thanks for sharing!

oH MAN! I’ve always wanted to make one of these. Does it sound pretty even though it’s not silver? and …I LOVE THE WAY YOU ADDED BLING w/ the fork tines…
I am so looking for cast off flatware now… BECAUSE YOU KNOW I NEVER CAN FIND SILVER.
thanks for showing this– I’m inspired.
Pat
Thank you!! I am happy you like it. Good luck with finding some good flatware (and be glad when it isn’t truly silver because that is so much more brittle and harder to work with).
…what I meant was… does it sound ‘flat’… I totally understand about the brittle silver. Plus– who wants to damage the silver, right?
off to look at your mantel.
Have a great week!
Pat
No, not at all. Flatware doesn’t sound flat. It tingles and jingles quite nicely. But it definitely helped that I flattened the spoons, that gave a much nicer tone.
This is very creative and the style is truly beautiful…
Oh! This would look excellent at my mums allotment, it is very shabby chic already and as well as look good, this would help scare off the pigeons!
Hope you don’t mind me posting the link here
