Do you have mismatched pieces of silverware sitting around that you don’t know what to do with? Well here are some useful and fun ways to use them:
1. Throw some spoons in with the sand buckets, they make great sand shovels for little hands.
2. Bend them into napkin rings. Use a large dowel to bend the fork or spoon around and use a hammer if needed. TIP: Make sure and always cover the silverware with a towel before hammering!
3. Make drawer pulls.
4. Make a wind chime! Check out the Wind Chime How To at eHow.com.
