DIY Silver Flatware

Inspired by the beautiful studio tour we featured yesterday, Mara of Neithersnow created this gorgeous flatware DIY…

Vintage flea markets abound in Florence. We stopped by one of our favorites in  Piazza Santo Spirito and picked up a few ornate silver forks. We edged them with white chalk marker and gray nailpolish. The best part is they can be cleaned and repainted after the event.

1. Select some vintage forks. Handles with floral patterns or very raised designs work best.

2. Mark off some thin and wide stripes using washi or masking tape.

3. Using a marker or nailpolish, paint directly onto the handle of the flatware. and let dry.
