What can one do with an old rusty spoon?

Question

I saw one on the sidewallk yesterday, and it looked so cool that I could not resist picking it up. Now I've got it, and nothing to use it for.

I don't think I should like to eat with it though...

Answer 1

Dig up weeds in the garden, stir your mother-in-law's coffee, remove worms from a side walk after a rain, pull dead fish out of a tank, pick up dog crap in your yard, get the bottle cap out of the kitchen sink, put it on a table at a restaurant and get a free dinner after you complain, a soul mate for your pet rock, etc, etc

Answer 2

make a wind chime... Find 3 more similar type spoons and a fork that kinda matches the spoons. Clean them all up and drill holes on the end of the handles ( fork included). Take the fork and bend the tines of the fork out - 2 opposite out the front and the other 2 out the back then curve the very tips under so it looks like little eyes at the end of the tines. Hammer the bowls of the spoons flat. take some fishing line and tie to spoon thread beads and what-nots into pretty pattern, tie to one if the tines repeat with other spoons. Take another piece of fishing line and loop thru hole in fork handle. Hang up your newly made wind chime in your favourite tree, outside your window or back of a door. Enjoy!!

Answer 3

My dad used to take spoons and wrap them around a dowel to make rings out of them. They looked really cool, but everyone thought the ring was some sort of drug paraphernalia. He only did this with baby spoons that have the small spoon part on the end. It was a way for my sister to keep a childhood possession as an adult.

Answer 4

you can draw it or paint it if you like to paint still life, you could put it in some CLR to remove the rust then you can use it i guess uuuummm you could get a cool looking large rock and carve out an indent similar to the spoon and glue it in i guess that looks kinda cool, you could put it in a vegetable garden with a dining theme in one of the pots, try having a tomato vine that has the spoon, a rusty knife and fork to twist around but you have to 'train' the vine sort of to have vines (small not large) go around them then by like a vegetable patch you could buy a few cheap one of a kind plates to put in half way around say a radish garden, lets sseee what else.............mabe you could hammer it in a curve then you can put holes at both ends and get a small can and put holes at both sides as well and attatch them at both ends with wires and you could have a little rustic flower or pencil holder hhhmmmm what else................you could go to a metaphysical shop or wherever they sell rocks and gems and buy some cheap shiny and small gems for like $10 and you can glue them on the front handle with a medium sized one to go on the way top and have a large one to go into the mouth peice of the spoon which i think should be a deep amythyst and you can put it on your wall well thats all i have for now

Answer 5

The first thought that came to mind was for you to look around (Antique stores, thrift stores, yard sales etc) for some more old spoons. Then use them to make a wind chime and hang the first one in the middle.

Answer 6

Spray it with clear acrylic and when it dries, hang it up on your wall. If you think it looks cool, use it as art!
