– Diamond Glaze
– silver ball chain
1) Pick up an old spoon and with pliers, go forward and backward around 3/4″ from the joint. The spoon will break by itself. Now take a sturdy pliers (I recommend using a cheap bulky nose plier) to bend the extra to the back and create a small loop. If your spoon is very brittle, then it might crack here. Then I suggest annealing it. Just hold the spoon with the plier and show it in naked flame for about 5 minutes. This will soften the metal. Put it in water and then try bending it.

3) If you want to add any rhinestones or half pearls do it at this stage for you wouldnt want to stick them on the glaze . Let it dry for sometime

5) The next step is to add the bow. This is optional but I wanted to hide the loop part where the paper ends and this seemed like the perfect solution. I used a 1/2″ wide ribbon and tied it into a bow. I glued it to the spoon at the front and back (behind the knots) as I was making the bow. This is what keeps the bow from coming off. I stitched the bow at the front, because my knot was looking too bulky and I didnt like the look. You can do it either way.

I was inspired by some necklaces made by a Bangladeshi designer I met in Abhushan and by the the Rustic spoon pendant made by Dorian to make a spoon based necklace. However, the process and detailing are my own.
