Well, jokingly, I can say they came before forks and knives and spoons,
grin! good ideas, but they don't work in certain instances, and then it's
wise to rely on the food processor.

hi Rhonda.
another good substitute for a pastry blender is the tips of the fingers.
They do an extremely
efficient job of rubbing butter into flour.
cheers

You can use 2 knives, 1 held in each hand, and sort of chop the flour into
the butter until you have a crumbly mixture. I hold the knives, butter
knives by the way, with the points pointing in, not away from me, and I
try
to keep the blades pretty close together, blades down. You can also use
the
flat of a fork and press down, making sure you stir the loose flour in
from
the sides too and press it in, till you have a crumbly mixture.
I hope this isn't too confusing.
