{Tutorial Tuesday} Silverware Artwork

The tutorial  below was my first submission for One Month to Win it, the theme for the first week was, "trash to treasure" and because of all your awesome votes I somehow made it to the second week. Thanks bunches, I am sending out digital smooches to all ya'll.

**************************************

 A few months ago I found a stack of upholstry remnants at the thrift store. I have been racking my brain with what to do with the gi-mongo stack that just chills in my basement. I made a few purses, BUT you can only make so many purses before they loose their thrifty fun"ness."

One area in my house in need of some love is my kitchen. I have been trying to convert our rustic home to a more open, shabby, chic feel. So I combined multiple thrift store finds into one great project to fit my new vision!

I got the gold frames at our not so dollar store (apparently they think it should be dollarS store). The silverware and upholstry remnants came from the thrift store.

UPDATE: (I forgot to add this part) Before I spray painted the silverware I took a hammer and flattened the forks and the spoons. I kept the ladle of the spoon rounded but I made sure to flatten the handle. By doing this I created a larger surface area when it came to glueing the silverware to the board.  
You all know how I roll...I primed and spray painted the frames and the silverware. Just so you know, I had to use AT LEAST eight coats of primer on the frames. Those nasty little buggers kept leaking gold. seriously, it drove me insane.

Okay, back on subject. While frames and silverware dried I took the three upholstry remnants and I cut them to fit the frame back. Then I used spray on tacky glue to adhere the pieces to the boards. kapeesh?

When everything had dried (okay, the silverware was still tacky and I was in a hur-ray so don't look closely because you might see me finger prints on the utensils) I used my trusy glue gun to stick it all together.

Simple. Chic. Cheap. That's how we roll 'round here.

FYI (again)
