How to Make Spoon Jewelry Using Common Tools
Sharing buttons:
okay guys today I'm in the jewelry
making business tomorrow is Valentine's
Day and I've decided that I'm going to
make my better half some jewelry and I'm
going to make them out of these spoons
now when I was a teenager I was taught
how to make a ring with a spoon and or a
fork and some files and you know a
little bit of muscle and a torch and I
thought I would try my hand at a
bracelet so I know this video is a
little bit different than what I
normally do this isn't really science
and technology well maybe it's science I
don't know but it is a DIY and for those
that are interested keep watching if
you're not interested then you know go
find something else
I brought some tools over here
a selection of pliers some adjustable
wrenches and that sort of thing if I
need more I can you know get more so I'm
just going to go ahead and win it and
hopefully it'll work out so I'm going to
try this one first I thought that this
one would look pretty good as a bracelet
and this one might go well as a ring so
when she wasn't looking at my snag one
of her bracelets this is a store-bought
bracelet that she likes and I know that
it fits her quite well so I'm going to
use this kind of as my size template I
was looking around through my tools and
I found this jump piece of wood that was
cut in a circle and it's a little bit
bigger than our bracelet is here but I
thought that I could use it to start
forming this and bending this around so
I'm just going to jump right in here and
see how it goes
it's best just to go slow I do know that
so that you're not getting a kink in any
one spot so you just kind of have to
keep working it
I don't know what I'm gonna do about the
end of the spoon yet I'm my hammer flat
or I might just cut it off I haven't
really decided yet I just want to get
this into shape first
now for those that are wondering this
isn't silver this is just a stainless
steel
I'm putting the rag here to prevent
damage I don't really want to buff out
any areas that I might scratch or scuff
up so I'm trying to be very careful
I'm going to go ahead and flatten this
out and see if I can go get a hammer
I'll be back I wouldn't I got my hammer
but I got thinking I might be able to
use the vise with a couple pieces of
wood and just squeeze it so I'm gonna
try that first see how that works
keep in mind I've not made a bracelet
before this is my first time so I'm just
kind of making it up as I go
to find flatten this out
I don't want to go too far too quick
I don't know if I'm really doing
anything or not again the wood is just
here to protect it it's actually not
doing much I'll probably have to beat on
it I'm going to go ahead and beat on it
in another room so I don't jar this
camera here's what it looks like right
now I'm just going to put it between two
pieces of wood and start beating on it
I'll be back
well I put it on the floor and I start
beating on with a hammer and I broke my
wood but I managed to flatten this out
quite a bit I don't know exactly what
I'm going for yet so I'm just going to
leave it like that for a few minutes and
keep working this around and trying to
shape it
I might end up just cutting their off
anyway so yeah
yeah I don't know we think what should I
do
just have to be real careful to avoid
any sharp bends
if
it's roughly about the right shape I've
really got to do a lot of work though to
get it round you can see I'm also
wondering if I should just cut this this
off I'm not sure it's just a kind of art
project too I mean you just kind of have
to go with what you think looks good
I kind of stopped using the rag because
it just took too much time to stick it
in there and between bounds so it's
going to take me longer to buff this all
out clean it up nice and then when you
put it on you can just squeeze it make
that a little more smooth there so I
guess the wood idea didn't work out I am
getting some more though that's about
exactly the right shape okay I'm gonna
go ahead and start buffing on this one
nothing looks that bad at all Ashley I'm
still wondering what to do about this
area though okay I've been beating away
the spoon now for a while and I haven't
polished it yet but I think I have the
shape that I want this is the gold one
that I took from her that fits are nice
and I borrowed it for the sighs looks
like I've got a pretty good match so I
think I'm going to leave this spoon hat
on there
I just powdered it flat and I can't get
it on my my hand but uh I think it will
look really good
I'm going to go ahead and set it aside
for a few minutes and think about it and
I'm I need to polish it off and stuff
anyway and make some final adjustments
to it and I'm just going to set it aside
for a minute and start working on a ring
and I'm going to use this spoon for the
the ring it has a similar design you can
see there so I think I'm going to go
ahead and just make her a ring out of
this set this one aside think about it
for a few minutes and then I can polish
them up together and fit them for I
won't be able to do the final fitting
till tomorrow but got to get this video
up today so go ahead and take care of
this
I was trying to think of how I could
bend this around I think I'm going to go
ahead and use just freeform on this kind
of like I did with the bracelet just
start working it see what I come up with
here so
the Rings probably going to be a little
tougher because it you know it's a
tighter tighter turn and I'm thinking
about spiral until you know instead of
just a this end meets the next end I
think I'm going to spiral like that
we'll see how it goes I'm creating as I
go
I'm just really worried about damaging
the spoon because you can see there's a
couple marks on the back here anytime
you damage it you're going to have to
get that out of there I just really
don't have the tools to get the you know
too much too deep of a gouge out I'm
just trying to think of any tool that I
have that will make this job easier and
we're getting there
if I'm going to spiral this I need to
start banning it to the side so you know
can curl think I'm going to go ahead and
start doing that now so you know you
could go out and buy your girl around or
you can make it and you know it's not
going to be the nicest ring in her
jewelry box for sure but I think it will
be extra special that you made it I know
that every time I make my girl something
that she knows that I created it with my
own hands it brings in a little extra
something special and it's more
appreciated so and it's fun to make it
too this has been quite nice now I
starting to get the technique of it a
little bit it's just a matter of
gripping it and then twisting it and not
going too fast
almost need to squeeze the whole thing
together a little bit
it's impossible when I try
see it's it's kind of spreading out all
about I try to squeeze this together
just about
I'm definitely going to have to angle
this more we have to twist this whole
thing so I can bring this piece around
like that try to do that now and you
know I don't even know if this is going
to fit her I'm just guessing I know
approximately how big her fingers are
and I'll just you know go with what I
know and then I can always make further
adjustments after I give it to her
so am I making a master am I making a
ring okay I've been bending at this for
a few minutes and originally I was going
to go to angle you can see how this is
passing this but I think I'm going to go
ahead and just terminate it there and
then make it straight I think it'll be
nicer so I'm going to go ahead and get
my dremel tool cut that off right there
all right well I cut that piece off
there here's the spoon there that was on
there like that I just cut it off and
then I started bending this back I found
this little needle set of files and they
come in real handy I'm just taking the
rounded one and coming inside and
cleaning this up and trying to get all
the marks off and everything like that I
know when I use my pliers know if you
can see that but it it damaged the
to finish a little bit so I'm going to
get them out as good as I can with the
file set and then I'm going to go back
to my Dremel wheel and start polishing
this up but you know there's the ring
before polishing see if it'll fit me
here and here's the bracelet so I think
she'll like it
and I'll just get a box of candy a rose
and a little bit of homemade jewelry so
I think she'll be real happy with it
let's get the Dremel out see if we can
polish this stuff up well I've got this
kit for my rotary tool kit now I'm
trying to figure out what what to use to
polish I've never used this for
polishing I found these pads here mmm
by the way I can figure they go on is on
this thing it's like a little screw so I
just screwed one on there I'm gonna try
that see how it works out you know you
you have these kits are wrong like I
usually use mine just for the cutoff
wheels once in a while I'll use it for
the sand or something like that but I've
never used it for the polish so in fact
I don't have any polish so it's going to
try to pass and see how that works out
okay let's give this a try here II
four whitens teeth it might be all the
way in this ring I'll do one side right
here and Singh makes a difference bar in
the hole
Oh
to face forever
well you can see what happened to my pad
it broke on me I don't think that's how
you're supposed to do these we're do
another one I mean there's no hole in it
or anything it's just them it's just a
pad so who knows also I think I'm going
to put the paste on the this thing
Felicia smells nice here we go
yeah
all right well I rinsed it off I think
it is shy not quite nice I'm going to go
ahead and work at it a little bit longer
and then I'll be back
okay well I finished polishing them I
think it come off pretty good
take a look at that too well
I thought about actually putting up you
know patina back on them with vinegar I
don't know
they're pretty shiny right now maybe I
should put a vinegar patina well what
I'm going to do is just spend a few more
minutes cleaning these up and find a
nice package to put these in and then
tomorrow we'll see how she likes them so
there you have it guys there's my room
and here's the matching bracelet made
out of spoons
well thanks well there they are there's
the bracelet and there's the ring I know
the bracelet will fit because I you know
it took one of her bracelets and
measured it to it and the ring might be
a little big but I can always squeeze
that after I give it to her okay guys
well thanks for watching so if you want
to make your Valentine's Girl the spoon
ring or spoon bracelet that's how you do
it just a few tools and a little bit of
muscle thanks for watching and we'll see
