Default Creativity With Silverware

I like to steal silverware from restaurants I eat at. Problem is, I already have a set of silverware that works just perfectly. What fun/interesting/silly things can I do with newly acquired silverware?

Send your spare forks to me. I think I have all of 5 forks. Plenty of knives and spoons, but the forks go missing. A lot.

Other than that, you could make yourself a fork bracelet. Fashionable, and functional should the need arise.

I bend the prongs so they're like little feet. Reminds me of the sorcerer's apprentice.

I have a whole army of them.

Is it real silver? If so then you can use it as a catalyst in a hydrogen peroxide rocket. Alternatively sell it.

If it's not real silver then make spike strips out of it.

I've seen some really cool windchimes made from a pot and silverware.

Make some sun glasses from spoons.

I guess you could grind out most of the bowl & fit lenses in there.
Or drill lots of tiny holes.
I'd like to see slots cut thru the bowls, but a water jet cutters out of my league.
Maybe hacksaw blade slots but that would get messy.

I found, like 1/2 a shopping bags worth of silver coated spoons (just spoons! different sizes, but all spoons) beside a railway track once, been there for years by the look of it, 1/2 stuck in grass & the dirt.

I have seen armbands made from silverware, but thats been done now.
I'll keep thinking.
