Another one of my craft moments. I saw some of these in an antique store in East Texas and decided to try my own version. These are so fun to make and very easy. It just takes a little patience stringing the beads on the wire and getting them arranged just the way you want them.
First, I purchased some salad spoons and forks from Bed, Bath, and Beyond for just under $3.
I used some beading wire and beads that I had on hand and a couple of wire cutters for trimming.
There is a hole in the top of the handle that you feed the wire through and twist over and over again to secure.
First, start adding a couple of beads at a time, wrap the wire around a couple of times to secure, then add a couple of more beads, wrapping the wire around the utensil a couple of times every time you add beads. Keep adding until you get within about 3" from the bottom of the handle.
I made myself this blingy cake server which was the first thing I made. I wanted to make sure I could do this before I started making them for my friends.

I made this salad serving set for my friend for her birthday. It was so easy and super fun to make. I will be making more. There are so many beads to choose from and you can just mix and match and create your own unique set.
By the way, I am totally addicted to Pinterest, so don't be surprised if you start seeing some of my favorite things posted. I have a whole list of fun things to try so stay tuned.
