Bed Springs to Chandelier Shades...junky details...




Chipping with Charm: Springs for Chandelier "Shades"...http://www.chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/
Yet another "simple idea"...
A while back a Facebook follower posted a picture of her chandelier on my page and asked if I had any ideas for shades.  I immediately thought of springs...and it's been in my head ever since :)

I decided to try it on my dining room fixture.
What do you think?

I decided to add some vintage crystals too...just for fun.

We have been busy with Vacation Bible School this week.  
Today during the lesson today I asked if anyone knew what a "Disciple" was...and one little boy said "It's when you take old stuff and make it into something new". So cute...I guess recycle does rhyme with disciple :)
I still remember my awesome weeks of VBS as a kid.  I hope these little people feel the same way when they are 40+!!

    I love the creative ways you use old springs, including this project. What a cute story, they're so innocent at this age. I have the best memories of VBS...always a special two weeks of our summers.

    Great use of old springs!! I spent eight hours tearing a queen size bed apart and still have yet to utilize all those springs :D

    Way cool, and love the look. I have the bed spring but now I need to find a light! Great way to add rusty charm to a chandelier. It was sweet of you to stop by and let me know you liked my vintage dish lid towel holders!

    Laurel, I bought this exact light at a junk store about a month ago with intentions of painting it and adding a little charm. I hung it on my back porch over my old iron table and chairs. I am so "borrowing" your bed springs and crystals idea! I'll blog it and link the credit back to you. First I've got to retrieve that old box springs that I've been eye-ing dumped on someones property. I'm sure they will appreciate me picking up their trash!
    Thanks for the idea, my friend!
    Wishing you God's best,
    Elaine

    Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
    (1) If you want your ex back.
    (2) If you want to stop having bad dreams.
    (3) You want to be promoted in your office.
    (4) You want women/men to run after you.
    (5) If you want a child.
    (6) You want to be rich.
    (7) You want to tie your husband/wife to be yours forever.
    (8) If you need financial assistance.
    (9) If you want to stop your divorce.
    (10 If you want to divorce your husband.
    (11) If you want your wishes to be granted.
