(20 crafty days of christmas) stamped silverware ornament

December 12, 2013 By Vanessa Leave a Comment

Hi, I’m Emily from 52 Mantels and I’m SO happy to be here today, sharing my tutorial for stamped silverware ornaments! This is a super quick craft project (we’re talking an entire set of ornaments in about 10 minutes!). I’ve been collecting silver spoons for awhile, so I guess that’s the most time consuming aspect of this project.
Yes, it must be real silver; stainless steel won’t stamp like silver. But, if you check local estate sales, antique malls and even thrift stores, you should be able to gather a great collection. I never pay more than $1/spoon, so it shouldn’t be too costly, either!
I love the way the tarnished silver looks on my white kitchen tree (which you can see in last year’s Christmas home tour).

Stamped Silverware Ornament

Supplies: 
1/4″ 6mm alphabet stamps (found at my local craft store)
small steel block
silver spoons
hammer
black craft paint
paper towel

1) Gather supplies.

2) Position silver spoon over steel block and firmly hold the first stamp in place. Strike the top of the stamp with your hammer, several times.

3) Repeat for remaining letters.

4) Take a paper towel and dab it in black craft paint.

5) Rub the black paint into the wording.

6) With a clean paper towel, remove excess paint from the spoon, leaving black paint in the letter crevices.

7) (not pictured) Bend the spoon handle back, to form a hook for the tree branches.

These stamped silver spoon ornaments look great on the tree AND as gift tags! 🙂

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Come visit me sometime at 52 Mantels.

I'm Vanessa and it's my mission in life to spread my love of hot glue guns and glitter to others. I suffer from craft ADHD, regularly working on at least 10 projects at the same time and my craft room looks like a tornado hit it. My first craft book, Party in a Jar, was published in 2014. I look forward to crafting with you!
