Finding new uses for familiar things is alwaysinteresting. Especially when it comes to interior decor. In our master class, you will see how you can use ordinary tablespoons Summer is a great reason to replenish your wardrobe, get a new hairstyle and refresh the interior of your apartment. And if the implementation of the first two tasks will certainly make your wallet lose a little weight, then the implementation of the third point of the summer plan will not require additional costs - provided that you roll up your sleeves and do some handicrafts. It is better to start small. For example, replace boring furniture handles in the kitchen. For this you will need:
- Old silver spoons;
- Rubber hammer;
- drill;
- Screws;
- Shtikhel (not necessarily);
- Little perseverance.
As a result, you will become the happy owner of an original kitchen decor.
Maybe someone will regret using itsilver spoons, but in vain. Think about it: how often do you use them in everyday life? Silver spoons are surprisingly impractical. They heat up instantly, so eating hot soup or stirring sugar in a cup of hot tea is very uncomfortable. Of course, silver is a noble metal, but its price is low these days, so the cost of your new door handle will be equal to the cost of high-quality fittings sold in the store. So isn't it time to get out the dusty cutlery from the depths of the kitchen cabinet and turn it into exclusive decor? So, take silver tablespoons in a quantity equal to the number of handles needed for the kitchen cabinets. The spoons can be both identical and different (the variety of shapes and patterns will make your new furniture fittings even more original).
First, make the spoon ladle flat.Silver is a very pliable material, so you can achieve the desired result with a series of hammer blows. To avoid unnecessary scratches and damage, use a rubber mallet.
Now bend the cutlery leg into the shape of a door handle (the strength of your arms is enough to bend the spoon).
The next stage is engraving.You can skip it if you want, but small signatures on your pens will give them extra charm and personality. For engraving, you will need a burin or a regular drill - basically, a sharp metal tool with which you will scratch your message. And don't worry about calligraphy: our goal is originality.
Once the spoon handle is ready, youall that remains is to attach it to the cabinet door using a drill and screws. We recommend that you pre-drill the appropriate holes at the top and bottom of the spoon and only then screw it to the furniture. That's it. Thanks to one creative idea, brought to life by your efforts, your kitchen set now looks updated and stylish!
