Bed Spring Hanging Bouquet Holder

This months design team project 

that I made for the anything goes challenge at

Love To Craft

is a simple floral piece.

I used an old bed spring as a sort of  hanging "vase"

or "tussie-mussie" !

We are a monthly anything crafty goes challenge

(so long as it is family friendly).

We'd love to see what you made this month !

The florals are actually a spray that my daughter

carried as a bridesmaid in a wedding.

She removed the succulent to use in 
one of my empty Oui yogurt jars,
but didn't want to do anything with the rest
of the spray.  I kept it for a future project , some day.

When I went down to the basement to peruse

my floral supplies, I saw the box of old bed springs

and immediately thought to do this.

I'ts a bit more fun than simply tying a bow

onto the spray as I thought I might do.
My original idea was to cut it apart and
decorate an old horse shoe as a base.

After looking closer at it,  it is made of heavy duty wires and floral tape.
It was not going to be easy to tear apart.
So I kept it intact.

I stuffed "moss" into the bed spring, 

shoved the spray in and attached a 

bow I made from a strip I cut from burlap.
Simple! 

I suggest that if you do something like this,

you seal the bed spring (rust)

and hot glue some felt to the back of it

so the metal spring won't damage your door.

Also, it has a mind of it's own when it comes to

hanging nicely. I had to wire it in place around
a metal over the door wreath hanger

and even then, it still moves too much 

for an often used door.
This will be a temporary decoration for March.

Thanks for looking, have a great day  =) 

I had some visitors in the yard last evening
