I'm a pinterest addict, I admit it! My Pinterest But, at least I'm actually making things that I find on it! I found these mixed up flatware in frames pin that I liked a lot. This is the one. However, there were no actual instructions on how to make it. So, I came up with my own.
I bought random flatware at the Salvation Army, and three 8"x10" frames. (I started this project before I decided to start my blog, so I have no before pictures.) I spray painted my flatware and frames with Krylon indoor/outdoor gloss white. I'm not very good with spray paint, so there are some spots that have a sort of crackled look, which is ok because I'm going for a vintage worn out look.
Glue on the flatware with your trusty E-6000 glue, I got mine at JoAnn's. Make sure you put the glue where your flatware piece actually sits on the background! Now we wait... Over night is best... I'm impatient!
And, here they are! I'm still getting the hang of my new camera, so the picture isn't all that great. Also, we still have icky paneling in the kitchen, but hey, its a work in progress!

Here they are with three coats of spray paint.
Next, I cut up some old black silky fabric I had, about an 1 1/2" bigger than the back from the picture frame. I attached the fabric with packing tape. (No one is going to see it anyways!)
Like so!
Put them back in their frames, glue if necessary. Also, if you need to put in new hangers do this now!
