For those who are wanting to make this project, it can only be made with silver ware and absolutely must be heated with a torch prior to bending with pliers. This is called annealing the metal, (Spelling uncertain) but I learned this is jewellery school. ~Dawn

If I knew how to make them/where to buy them, I certainly would have included it here! :)

I actually found this photo on another site (which also did not provide much more information) but I imagine they were made at home – perhaps by applying some heat to the forks so that they will bend easily.

Should make for a fun DIY project! Good luck!

It’s so dishearting to see and than to discover that no directions are included. Not even where to buy them.

I found this on another website so unfortunately cannot tell you exactly how it’s done. I imagine you might need to apply some heat to get them to soften so that they will bend more easily! Good luck :)

I love them and would like to try to make some.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you! Growing up in my twenties I have noticed among my female friends that there is pressure for them to have it all. Being considered a woman now is successfully finishing a uni degree, getting a high paying job and working your way up in the ladder of life. Unfortunately this is not the story for everyone.

I lived in a rather competitive all girls residential college for a few years and I saw numerous women austerized (even criticized) only because they did not really want to be super woman. I think its unfair. Feminism for me is about choice. There is still this grid lock view of traditional feminism and most of it is coming from women.

There definitely needs to be a swift in thinking.
