DIY Beautiful Vintage Bed Spring Centerpieces
Hanging out in the workshop and just creating from what I have at hand is one of my favorite things to do.
Today I'm starting with a pile of vintage bed springs in all different shapes and sizes.
On top of each spring, I made a nest.
I used raffia on a few...
I wrapped the raffia around my hand a few times to form a nest then using a hot glue gun I attached it to the top of the bed spring.
On the top of another spring, I used a huge faux flower from my collections then added one of the mini farmhouse wreaths I made a while back.
To that, I added moss, sprigs of faux flowers, and more Easter eggs.
Here is an easy way to create speckled eggs that can be done on faux eggs for this project as well.
(I think this one might be my favorite)
Each spring was tied with a drop cloth bow. I cut strips of painter's drop cloth, frayed the edges then tied a bow.
See how they are made on candlesticks by visiting...

I had one vintage wire egg cup I couldn't help but embellish while I was at it.
Spanish moss, an egg, a carrot, and a bow were all it needed to become adorable.
Fun times creating in the basement workshop
keeps me grounded.

Adorable, Susan! You had me at springs, but this idea is just meant to be!
ReplyDeleteI've featured you this weekend on DIY Salvaged Junk Projects. Thanks for linking up! :)
Thanks so much Donna I can not wait to see the feature :)
DeleteWhere did you get the old springs??
ReplyDeleteYou can find old springs at garage sales, antique stores or on Ebay.
DeleteSusan, I remember falling in love with these the first time I saw them and I love them even more the second time. Visiting from our friend Mary, The Boondocks Blog. Using bed springs is genious and how you decorated the nests sitting on top them is gorgeous. Pinning again 😊
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Marie! They were so fun to make and they sold when I had a shop in a weekend! :)
DeleteI absolutely love these! I would like to know if, on the one that looks like it has a faux sunflower beneath the nest, did you just attach the whole flower, or is it altered to fit?
ReplyDeleteThank you I just attached the flower! It was not altered, kind of like a chrysanthemum.
DeleteThese are adorable, Susan!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Larissa, they were so fun to make too!
DeleteSusan, these are SO pretty. I've seen several vintage spring makeovers/upcycles lately, but this is by far the prettiest! I you you will come and share at Homestyle Gathering this Tuesday, and every week!
