While on a recent junking trip,
I came across a bin full of old bed springs.
Not knowing what I would do with them,
I went ahead and bought 3.
They would have been cute with some small pumpkins sitting on top of them, but I was thinking about Christmas!
So, I picked up some candles at the Dollar Store...
they came 2 to a box so each candle was only 50cents!
I placed a candle inside each spring.
They wouldn't stand up straight, so I cut some fabric into strips, wrapped it around the candle and tied it to the spring.
Now we are ready to spring forward into Christmas!
And, while I was at the Dollar Store,
I bought 3 vases.
I covered them using Christmas napkins that I had
leftover from last year.
Then I added a row of buttons to cover the edge.
I used the same technique that I shared
when I covered these jars...
You can see that post HERE.
Do you shop at the Dollar Store?
You should... they have great items to craft with.
And no one paid me to say that (unfortunately)!

Cute bed spring idea(I have about 40) and those napkin glasses and jars are very pretty. I am a DOLLAR STORE GAL!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Linda
What a great and rustic way to use those springs...love it.
ReplyDeleteI <3 your candles! The ribbon is perfect too:) Pinned
ReplyDeleteSo funny because I too picked up three rusty springs a few weeks ago. I haven't dressed mine up yet. I love your idea and think I will have to copycat! I was thinking of hitting Ikea for their little crystal candleholders (I think they are like 99 cents) to keep the candles upright.

Oooo! I like the jars best :)
ReplyDelete**love** the bed springs and Love that you linked up!!! beautiful projects. Great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to get my hands on some bed springs! The rustier the better! Very cute, easy idea with the candles! Visiting from What's It Wednesday
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative . . . I love how your brain works :)
ReplyDeleteYou truly have the gift of creative vision! I walked by those same vases and glasses....and saw vases and glasses! I love your crafty transformations! Kim @ Exquisitely Unremarkable
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for bedsprings! I'll have to keep my eye out for some!
ReplyDeleteI love both the springs and the vases. As for the Dollar Store? I try to avoid it - I NEVER spend just one dollar. All those dollars add up fast. It is amusing in one of our stores. When a customer asks how much something is, everyone in the store shouts "One dollar!"
ReplyDeleteI love mixing old junky pieces with modern. Such a fun mix. That's great for a Christmas idea.
