Rusty Spring Decorating

Who knew?
Rusty Springs... my new favorite decorating prop!
These crazy rusty springs made my Christmas decorations look even better!
My Santos ornament stands tall on top of a rusty spring.
A candy cane looks even yummier!
Even a simple painted pinecone looks better!
Santa with the rounded bottom that never really stood up straight is so much happier now!
And how about that St. Nicholas that couldn't stand on his own at all?
Even a simple topiary ball looks amazing atop a rusty spring.
See what I mean?
A new perspective for
some of my old Christmas favorites!
Now you know!
Want to see some more Christmas junk creations?...

Susan that is so clever. We inherited a rusty spring with a bell tied to it on our back door when we moved and I must say it's the cutest antique I ever did see. Plus it dings every time someone comes in the door! Love your stands, have a great Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI never run across springs. I will have to check ebay. It's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteCheck box springs, old chairs, my back yard...
DeleteShared this on Google+ and I will surely have to use it. I removed several old springs from an old chair I reupholstered last week and hubby almost threw them away [Yikes] but I rescued them!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!

Thanks so much Peggy! Wow... I'm going to be on the look out for old chairs so I can pull out the springs... then I won't have to pay for them! Merry Christmas!
DeleteWhere does one purchase rusty springs? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Patti-Ann... I got mine from ebay (or if you have an old chair that has springs you could pull it apart and use them) Happy Holidays!
DeleteThese all look so awesome, Susan!
