Hello Infarrantly Creative readers!

It’s KariAnne from Thistlewood Farms and I’m so happy to be here today to show you an easy and fun project for the holidays.

Are you hosting Thanksgiving dinner?

Will your house be filled with aunts and uncles and cousins and nieces and nephews and the occasional straggler or two?

After you’ve cooked the turkey and fixed the stuffing

and creamed the potatoes and baked your signature pie….

….why not set a table fit for your own HGTV show.

 

Make your own hand-stamped napkin rings from vintage silver plate….

…and get ready to impress. 🙂

How To Make a Stamped Spoon Napkin Ring

Supplies:

spoon (at the risk of stating the obvious)

steel stamping block

hammer

silver stamps

ultra fine sharpie marker

Step 1: Flatten the spoon with a rubber mallet

Hammer the spoon until flat.

You will still have some bumps when you finish.

It’s okay.

They’re called character.

Step 2:  Choose the size of stamps you want to use

Here are the three sizes of stamps I have.

1/4 (largest)…..all caps.

5/64 (2mm) (medium)…..all caps.

3/32 (smallest) …..lower case.

I used the 1/4 for stamped spoon napkin ring. 

Step 3:  Stamp spoon

Place spoon on the stamping block.

Hold the silver stamp where you want the letter to go and hit hard with a hammer several times.

Sometimes you have to flip the spoon over and flatten it again when the edges curl up slightly.

Fill in letters with an ultra fine Sharpie marker.

 

Step 4:  Bend spoon

Bend spoon with your hands until the spoon forms a narrow “u” creating your napkin ring.

Place around napkin…..

…..and serve up Thanksgiving. 🙂

 

May your day be full of friends and laughter and joy.

Happy early Thanksgiving.
