Forks can be used to make room decor items, such as a lamp shade holder. To do this, the handles of the products should be screwed to the base of the table lamp, and the teeth should be bent so that the upper part of the lighting device could be inserted between them.
Aluminum forks can be used to make photo stands, hangers and pashonits, but an original fan can be made of plastic forks.
Preparation of materials for making a fan from forks
For work, you will need to purchase plastic disposable forks. You will need: scissors, cardboard, lace and ribbons. To assemble the product, you will need glue, it is convenient to use a hot gun in the work, but you can use Titan or Moment glue.
Fan manufacturing technology from plastic forks
A circle should be drawn on the cardboard, and then cut out. The cardboard can be replaced with a disposable paper plate. The circle should be folded in half and the forks should be fanned out. Glue should be applied to the ends of the handles of the devices and pressed on top with half a circle.
Hot glue sets quickly enough, so after gluing the craft can be turned over to apply the glue on the other side. Now you can close the other half of the circle and press it against the forks. Then you can start decorating, for which you should use ribbons. They need to be passed in a zigzag between the teeth, reinforcing everything with glue. The ends of the tape should be bent over a drop of glue. Next, lace should be threaded between the teeth, reinforcing it with glue.
On a semicircle, you can glue the fabric gathered in the form of a drapery. Then you can decorate the place slightly above the semicircle, there you can strengthen the lace ribbon with roses, which is sold in fabric stores. On a semicircle, you can strengthen purchased or homemade roses. Behind the roses, fixed in a row closer to the teeth, one more tape should be strengthened, so the composition will look complete. The fabric can be additionally decorated with rhinestones or a bow. Such a fan can be hung on the wall or presented to family and friends as a souvenir.
Making crafts from steel forks
In order to make kitchen hangers, you should stock up on old metal forks, wooden cutting boards, cloves and a hammer. To begin with, the fork will have to be flattened with a hammer, bending the handles or teeth as desired in the shape of the hooks. Then the forks must be nailed to the cutting boards, which then need to be hung on the wall in a convenient place.
Steel forks can also be used to make napkin rings. Initially, the forks should be flattened, and then bend them, using a pipe or stick of a suitable diameter as a base.
Some craftsmen even make pendants from forks. To do this, cut off the handle using the remaining part, in which it is necessary to bend the teeth in different directions as desired. Finally, you have to make a hole for the chain.
