I have tons of mis matched silverware.it was my Mother-In-Laws and over the years she had accumulated many,many sets. Now though they are partials. I have a lot of silver plated to that nothing matches. I'm going to try this. Thank you so much for the suggestion and directions. I was about ready to throw them out. Thank you again -
You're welcome! I'm so glad you found it helpful!! I'm so relieved that we don't have to trash all this excess silverware now. The joys of a good upcycle! :D

This is so COOL! You did a great job with the silverware, got me thinking... brass candlesticks (part of or stripe, or all of it), kitchen hardware new color, tops of keys to identify, Lamp bases, metal bookends, hooks on the wall to hang clothes on, endless uses for this idea, thanks for sharing! :) -
Fun idea! -
What kind of paint did you use and do you put them in the dishwasher? I wondered how durable the paint is. I like the look! -
For a casual look, you could use tool dip, which comes is several colors now. -
Love the look! Great job :) -
This is amazing!! LOVE it!! -
very cute -
Thank you Mary Ruth!! YES you can do so many things with this! LOVE your keys idea!! :)

Dana M I used the Gloss Enamels from DecoArt! The paint just needs to cure for 48 hours and then you bake all the utensils in your regular oven at 350 degrees for half an hour to make them perfectly dishwasher safe! The paint will last if you allow the full cure time before baking! :)
