You may remember the old ladder that I
jammed into the back of my car...
Here's more...
The piece I hadn't used yet made a great
craft organizer...
I began by "sewing" on the chicken wire using
jute twine with a large needle I made out of wire...
Each shelf has a special use...
A magnetic washboard...
Clip on memos...
Rusty metal spikes are wedged in between the shelves to act as ribbon holders...
A basket for "stuff"...
(or cute numbers)
And a bar across the top of the shelf hangs hooks for whatever you want to hang....
(maybe even a rusty bicycle chain in the shape of a heart)
All together it makes an awesome junky
organizer and is perfect on the big wall in my

Your ladder organiser looks fantastic! What a great idea! X
ReplyDeleteAw, it's cute! Nice work Susan - you've done a fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteLike I always say, you NEVER disappoint! :) As if the ladder with the jute and chicken wire wasn't enough, you had to go add that adorable rusty bike chain heart!!! Thanks for your inspirations. I love them.:)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have half a ladder waiting to be used for something. I was thinking quilts.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great use for what someone thought was trash!
ReplyDeleteI don't know which elements I like the most because it's all so fantastic! LOVE the washboard as a magnetic holder and the way you sewed the chicken wire on!
