hey guys
Kayla here with curiouser creation 8
today I'm showing you how I flattened
vintage silver-plated spoons for various
crafts since a flat spoon is the
starting point for many spoon crafts
like pendants bracelets bookmarks etc I
thought this was a good thing to share
so you're going to need your spoons a
sledgehammer this is 48 ounces from
Craftsman got it at a Sears an old
t-shirt or cloth that you don't mind if
it gets destroyed
so I fold my t-shirt in half so there's
4 layers of fabric between the concrete
and my spoon and I also fold the t-shirt
over top of the spoon and you can see
I'm laying this food spoon down like
upside down to begin the hammering that
way just so the spoon is protected on
both sides by the fabric so then being
very careful not to hit your other hand
you want to start hammering the back of
the spoon so I hammer it quite a few
times I don't use a ton of force each
time you can see I'm bending the handle
back and I'm flipping the spoon over so
now I'm hitting the front of the spoon
so you want to check it each time and
you can flip your spoon back and forth
and use the sledgehammer until you're
happy with the result I think the main
thing is making sure that the spoon is
protected so there you go a flattened
spoon pen a fine spoon to use for a
pendants and things like that so here's
just another clip of me doing this it's
not as good because the camera moved but
basically you can do this project
outside on the concrete like I do or you
can maybe in your garage use a steel
block or a cinder block or something
like that but just be careful
you know make sure that you're watching
out where you're hammering and I'd
rather use less force and hit multiple
times and flip the spoon back and forth
multiple times I hope you guys like this
