Upcycled thrift store find: Altered Spoon (Tutorial)

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week. Today, I'm going to share how I altered this vintage spoon I had picked up at the Lost and Found Market. It had so much character that I just couldn't let it go.  

To get started, all you need, other than basic supplies, is an old silverware piece (which you can usually find at thrift stores):

Supplies 

1. Mod Podge 
2. Scissors
3. Lace
4. Sparkles/Glitter (Optional) 
5. Dusty Attic Chipboard - Knife & Fork (Optional) 
6. Other Embellishments (Gather all that you think will go!)

Getting started

Step 1: 

Start by cutting out the pieces you want to use for altering the spoon. 

Step 2: 

Place the main images you want to use on the spoon to get some idea on what you wanted to do.

Step 3: 

Assemble with Mod Podge the bigger images. Go back to add the little embellishments later.

 

Step 4: 

Sprinkle some sparkles on to the spoon while Mod Podge is on. Also add some beads for glittery goodness!

 

Step 5:

Add embossing powder to the Dusty Attic chipboard embellishments, and use a heat gun to set.This time I used black and gold to add to the vintage charm. 

Step 6:

Now is the fun part. (I think so, anyway!) Add the chipboard, and the little final touches of laces, etc.. Whatever your heart desires!

 

Step 7:

Admire your Altered Spoon! :)
