    Embellished Cheese Spreaders

    Materials:

    10 cheese spreader or knives
    20 gauge wire -- gold
    Silver armature wire
    Wire cutter
    Needle nosed pliers
    Beads
    Charms
    Floral pebbles

    1. Tightly wrap one foot of wire around the handle (figure A) of the cheese spreader with a few inches of overhang on both sides.

    2. Curl each end of the wire into a scroll (figure B) using needle nosed pliers.

    3. Place some beads on the thinner wire (figure C) and place one at the bottom and one at the top of the heavier scrolled wire so that they will dangle down from each end. Just twist it around good and then clip it.

    Expert Tip: Krista Lawlor, Craft Expert for Jo-Ann, etc., says that there are many tools made for bending wire, such as needle nose pliers or even wire jigs. Don't forget to use items you have around the house such as pencils and unique shaped pens.
