What a gorgeous, fun variety of spoon pendants! The spoons make excellent bails for jewelry, and Cindy has created a Polymer Clay Tutorial for them — Silver Spoon Bails for Jewelry [VIDEO].

The link will take you to a video preview of the tutorial, as well as comments and feedback on it from members. There are discussions about where to find spoons, how to bend them, and some beautiful examples, as well. Check it out, if you haven’t already. Have fun!

NEW PHOTOS JUST ADDED: Hello to Everyone, Some new Spotlight project pictures that relate to the topic of this page (Vintage Silverware and Polymer Clay Projects), have just been added in another post. They were submitted by Lupe Meter. The link by my name will take you to where you can see them, along with a bit of a write up. Hopefully they will inspire you to achieve great things with your own polymer clay projects.

@Anna: That is very exciting! You will have to report back with all the ‘goings on’ at the event. I wish I could meet you there, but things are a little too busy around here right now. Would need an assistant if I wanted to go away like that.

@MJ: It’s on the list! Been thinking of doing a spoon video for awhile but forgot to mention it back when I was asking who wanted what.

@Carrie N: There are lots of cool inexpensive ways to make bails. Will eventually do videos on them.

@Joyce: I have done some canes that are little like stained glass called a Rainbow Quilt Cane. Click the link by my name to see a pic. If you put your outlines in black or another opaque color and then use colors with a lot of translucent in them, you can achieve a stained glass look.

@PLaneFancies: I’ll ask my DH Doug about that.

I love this idea, Cindy. It is very inspiring. Have you done a cane on stain glass and I haven’t found it yet, or is it on your “to do” list? Is there another way to achieve the stain glass look? Thanks for all your time and effort in keeping us happy and claying.

I love the idea of the bails! Have any thoughts on other ways to make your own bails? They are so expensive in the stores!

Hi Cindy,

Love all these reviews. The pictures are great source of inspiration. How about a video on the process of preparing and forming the spoon projects?

I am doing my happy dance because I will be attending the International Polymer Clay Conference in Illinois July 11th. The registration price was lowered an it endd up being almost the same price as if I went to a closer workshop in September. I am wondering if there are other clayers from this Blog that will also be attending?
Would be great to chat in person. i am also going to be spreading the word about this GREAt blog.
Love the spoons and it was great to review past postings because I am going to make beads to trade!!!
