Hello friends...here's another idea that I posted "way back when" on Junk Market Style...and I've been happily making them ever since.
Such a simple idea...this was the original style with the words. Great for a hostess gift don't you think?
But they've evolved more into something like this.
An old rusty bed spring...sprayed with a coat of matte poly. And little junky bits tied on with twine...
...or ribbon, what ever suits you :)
Not a wine drinker??? I think they are just as cute sitting about like this. Or add them to another type of bottle or vase for a flower...sweet and simple...
Here they are all lined up to sell at the recent JunkMarket Under Glass event in Sept...and sell they did :)
Sharing this idea at...
Hope to see you there :)
So glad you stopped by!
Chat soon,
Such a fun gift idea...and I just happen to have a bunch of them in the garage...thanks!
ReplyDeleteLaurel I love it! And yeah I'm a wine drinker! Where do I get the bed spring?

I love that...I have been looking for bed springs...but haven't found even one!! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! So cute and clever!
ReplyDeleteYou're a genious! This is such a great idea for a hostess gift. We always bring a nice bottle of wine, this is just the perfect touch to make it feel special.
ReplyDeleteDo you cut off the top flare on the coil? (mine are flared on both ends.
I must try this idea!
Loved it before on JMS and love it now! I can't find the bed springs though, guess you have them all:-) Best, Vicki
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea. I love it and your embellishments are just unreal. Cute, cute, cute. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThis is a really novel idea, I like it... quite often the old bottles we discover out in our Desert Treks need dressing up a bit & this would compliment the age and beauty of the old glass!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by... Dawn... The Bohemian
these are cute, and the wine's name is Spiral, how fitting! Lezlee
ReplyDeleteI adore this idea--can't wait to make some too. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blog!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your idea for old mattress springs. I've had some that I found out in the desert and I thought, what a cute idea for pillar candle holders for the patio! Still haven't created that yet!! :)
You've inspired me!!
