These would go great in a shadow box frame! I think this is a fantastic reuse and art for the kitchen! Thanks for your easy to follow 'ible! 5 starts!

i have handled spray paints and they easily chip off especially this project which is surrounded with metals that could scratch and make it look ugly. how do you prevent it from doing so, or how do you make the paint tough!!?

You could get a bake on clear coat enamel to stop any worry about ingesting paint

This looks really hard. I'll pay someone to do this for me

These look really good. Any concern about ingesting paint, though? I am sometimes an enthusiastic eater, and I may accidentally try to gobble up the silverware, especially if it looks like it's coated in candy. :)

Yes, you probably shouldn't eat with these. You can buy special food-safe spray paints though.
