White Chicken Wire Cloche
Plain old chicken wire never looked so good!
I began by measuring a length of chicken wire that would wrap around this extra large jar.
I wrapped it around then folded over the wires to hold it together along the seam.
The jar was just a big pickle jar I was using to mold the chicken wire.
You can use anything you can find depending on the cloche size you need.
At the top I cut and molded the wire to fit around the top of the jar.
Using extra wire I "sewed" a circle to hold the chicken wire together at the top.
This wire was actually the wire that came wrapped around the chicken wire roll.
At the top where the circle is I inserted a wooden knob and used wire wrapped around to secure the knob.
I spray painted the whole cloche and knob, inside and out using a white spray paint.
If you liked this project... please check out my previous chicken wire cloche post where I wrapped chicken wire around the glass of a thrift store find to create this little beauty and a few more like it.
I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend.

ReplyDeleteThanks Carlene!
DeleteSuper cute project! You make it look so simple. I would probably end up looking like I got in a fight with the chicken!
ReplyDeleteHahaha Well you do need to be careful with the wire... it can be a little sharp :)
DeleteYour cloche turned out awesome....a couple of years ago I made one and used a wood knob like the one you used...great minds think alike :-)

I have been meaning to make one of these for a couple of years, but never seem to get around to it. I love how yours looks with the nest & eggs, perfect for Easter.
