How to Re-use Antique Cutlery and Silverware

We may, on the rare occasion, bring out granny's antique cutlery but generally we stick to our everyday sets keeping the 'special set' locked up in the cupboard for special occasions. We have some brilliant ideas on how you can re-use the antique cutlery and make better use of the pieces. You'll never forget they exist again!

Why not turn them into stamped garden markers for your herbs and veggies? Check how cool they look and they are so easy to make!
