How to Make a Fork Bracelet

How to make a Fork Bracelet

Fork Bracelet

I’ve always loved taking everyday items and making them into something interesting. Ever since I was a little crafty kid I loved devouring books that taught me how to make little dolls from clothespins, beads from rolled up magazines, and little fairy ornaments from wire and fake flower petals. The first time I saw my friend wearing a bracelet made from a fork a few years ago, I knew I had to try it (*ahem Carly ;)). I wrote up a tutorial a while back, but I’ve had some questions about the directions I gave so I decided to make a proper tutorial with a video! 🙂

(Please excuse my intro, if you can’t hustle your website on your Youtube channel, where else are you supposed to do it? ;))

What you need:
♥ A fork. You can find the fork I used here.I think these forks are the easiest to use, and I’ve used a lot of different forks. 🙂
♥  Pliers, 3 pairs. 1 jewelry pair, 1 regular pair or needle nose, and an adjustable wrench.
♥  Piece of thick fabric like denim or corduroy.
♥ Strong hands. If you don’t have these you might need to buy a hand exerciser. Just kidding. Ask for help! 😉
♥  If you still can’t figure out how to make the bracelet, I sell fork bracelets in my Etsy store for a good price. If you want a bulk order, I can totally do that!

    Okay, apparently I need some hand exercisers 'cause I've already ruined 3 forks….lol! I made one that is okay, but I think I'll try a vise if I make any more.

  • mommaj December 15, 2011 at 2:39 am

    Thought this would be easy; I broke the forks and cannot bend them. Lol I will try some different forks. I am having fun with them but wish I could get one to turn out.

  • Stacie Grissom December 15, 2011 at 2:55 am

    Yeah it is a bit tricky at first– I am serious about the cheap fork though. I bought some for 1$ each and they were too nice. :/

  • Lauren December 20, 2011 at 1:59 am

    I love this idea! But I cannot seem to find cheap enough forks? Did you ever find some that you could buy?

    @Cat You have to bend them in one motion, you can't keep bending them back and forth. 🙂 I made that mistake as well. 🙂

    Hi Stacie, Greetings from New Zealand 🙂 Loved your vid re fork bracelet. I'm wanting to make kitchen drawer handle (pulls) from genuine silver cutlery ie ones where the cutlery is both manipulated AND parts flattened eg spoon head, fork prongs etc.(apart from the handle part of course). Could you give me any clues how to actually DO this (or where I could find out pls?). Warm kiwi greetings, Ali

  • StacieGrissom November 4, 2013 at 10:28 pm

    Hello Ali!! Thanks so much for your message! I've never done what you were talking about, but I'd just look around YouTube if I were you! 🙂 I did find this tutorial– is this what you are talking about? 🙂

    I have been making necklace's out of my moms old silverware. Mom passed 4 yrs. ago and I thought this would be a wonderful way to keep her close. I made my 3 girl's each one, my daughter-in-law,2 granddaughter's and my 2 grandsons wives each one. We all love them. I also made one from one of mom's silver butter knife and that is adorable.
