Do you ever get the feeling that small household items are multiplying all

around you? Somehow one rubber band in the junk drawer becomes a wad
of thirteen rubber bands and a spool of thread. Two innocent tealights
replicate in the dark spaces under the sink to become a nefarious brood of

back of the silverware drawer, and you know the tide has turned against you.
But fear not, harried citizen! You must learn the ways of Kung Foto
before you can be freed.

Placing a photo on many small

household items neutralizes their evil powers and turns

them into harmless picture stands. Forks can be subdued in
this manner, as can the Wily Tealight. Sit, young Grasshopper, and we shall
show you the ways of the Photo Stand.

TURN A TEALIGHT INTO A PHOTO STAND

WHAT YOULL NEED:

STEP 1:

Empty the tealight holder: Either dump the candle out or burn it until its gone. Mourn a
little. Get over it.
STEP 2:

Cut the tealight holder down the middle of one side. Cut to, but not through, the base of
the holder. Repeat on the opposite side.
STEP 3:

Fold the tealight in half so that the halves of the base almost touch. You will create a
half-moon shape. a

TURN A FORK INTO A PHOTO STAND

WHAT YOULL NEED:

STEP 1:

Using the needle-nose pliers, bend back the 2 middle prongs of the fork. Dont worry about
how far back at this point. You can always bend them more in step 3. a
STEP 2:

Grab the tip of each outer prong with the pliers and curl the ends up. b
STEP 3:

After youve bent and curled the fork, set it prongs down on a at, hard surface to check
that the fork stands up straight and doesnt wobble. If it wobbles, keep adjusting the
prongs with your pliers until you get it right. To make sure that the angle is proper on the
fork easel, place a photo on it. If the photo falls down, keep adjusting! c
STEP 4:

Now that youre done with the pliers, its time to use the le. Smooth down any sharp
edges or marks that you may have left with the pliers. Ta-dah! Youre done! Now, go grab
some more forksthese make great simple gifts and beat a boring photo frame any day. d

When searching for forks, we

recommend choosing silver-plated or

nickel. Sterling silver is super strong and
very tough to bend with pliers. Thrift
stores and antique malls are the best
