TGITF Friends! It's our last thrifty Friday before Christmas and I'm sharing a simple, festive upcycle. I couldn't pass up this Christmas tree fashioned out of old bed springs at a recent craft show I attended. It was pretty darn cute just as it was sold and while I can't take credit for the clever repurpose, I did have lots of fun embellishing it...
So here's how it looked right out of the bag--don't you love the burlap rose?
I knew right away I wanted to paint this spring-y tree white to hang on my gray wall. Later, while I was decorating with my Vintage ornaments, I was also inspired to dress it up. I love the combination of the rustic springs with the timeless colorful ornaments. Plus the shape of the spring lends itself as the perfect "holder"--the ornies sit securely in the narrow part. Do you remember my glass door knob hanger? I usually hang a Vintage bag on it. I adjusted the tree so that it was visible in the center. I smile every time I walk by it :)
I hope your last week before Christmas is merry, merry! Until next time, happy hunting!

ReplyDeleteI've been dying to try some bedspring crafts. How creative! Thanks for linking up to Scraptastic Saturdays.
ReplyDeleteNice post!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I just love bed spring crafts. I recently bought a wreath made out of them with the burlap roses all the way around. Got it on Etsy. I would never attempt to make one....too much work attaching all those springs with wire!
