Ever since I made my silver spoon wall art for my kitchen, I’ve been rebuilding my stockpile of tarnished old flatware so I could create more projects with them. I seem to find more spoons than knives and forks, so I have a lot of those.
I love making these into wall art, because it’s such a simple project. I grabbed one of my old tongue and groove boards and sanded down some of the bumpy paint that was barely left on it, then painted the board white with homemade chalk-style paint.
Then I created a stencil with my Silhouette with the words, “Fine Dining” and painted that on the board and distressed it. Once it was dry, the silverware was affixed with E6000 glue and I left it to harden overnight.
There’s my forehead and hand reflecting off the knife! I’m still thinking of more projects to use the rest of my tarnished flatware on. The more patina they have, the more I love them and they are too pretty to keep hidden away.
Blessings,
The sign turned out super cute! Very fun project.
Lovely upcycle!! Always fun to use oldies, but goodies. :o)

We recently tore down an old goat barn, about 115 years old and now I have tons of leftover wood for projects. And when I get started it will be with THIS blog. Thanks for sharing so many of your ideas.
