SPOONS
You can hammer a spoon into shape
Many different things. Aluminum cans work great, but if you want to "melt" something, then use plastic bottles, plastic sunglasses, dvd cases that you can cut up. ANYTHING!
You can use bottles to make other things as well, such as necklaces or arm bands (my favorite!).
I use neckties to make bands as well.

How to Create a Rubber Band Bracelet
If you have nothing much to do, and are bored, try to be creative instead of moping around. Find a wide rubberband and make it into a bracelet.
Steps
Find a very wide rubber band, but make sure it will fit your wrist. If you do not have any available in the house, then buy some the next time you or your parents go shopping. Keep them in the house for the next boring day.
Use a light colored Permanent Magic Marker and color the rubber band. Use a light color because you are going to use other colors on top, to decorate it.
Decorate it any way you want to, with all the same colors, or different colors. Make polka dots, hearts, triangles, circles, diamonds or create your own design.
Place it on your wrist, and show your friends.
Tips
Use different colors for the background and design, to match your clothes. Change a rubber band to match what you wear.
Warnings
Friends may pull and let go, snapping the rubber band against your arm. Use a wide one, so they cannot do this.
If you have hairy arms, a thin rubber band might pull on the hair and cause pain.

Why dont you just go to the store and buy a cute bracelet?
Otherwise, try clay that you heat in your oven or that self hardens, ribbon, chains, safety pins...there are a lot of ribbon patterns and styles of braiding that you can try. I like the one called the diamondback braid. I did this for my homecoming mum, and made one that was about 4 ft. long and used both blue & black ribbon.

Aw, I was going to say toothbrush, but...Why don't you just use beads and string?
Here's a link I found (guitar string bracelet)

You may need help with these but I have a few ideas.
A nice silver serving spoon.
My fiance had a necklace made of bike chain.

Its hard to think of something if you want to use the same method. plastic silverware maybe? try websites like hgtv and diy network. maybe if you want one but dont't want to copy ask her to make you one.
