Before we go any further, let me explain...that's metal madness...my obsession with metal things that are rusty, worn out, dilapidated and finding a new use and undiscovered beauty in their being.
You might remember my post on metal wire springs made into vases...as I was scrounging around for more springs, I came across a couple of rather large springs...they wouldn't do for vases...so what else could I concoct?
The process begins...metal springs...
old painted boards, cleaned, sanded and waxed...
A couple of double point tacks and my trusty metal hammer (great for working in tight spaces!)...
Pilot holes are always a good idea...
that way you make sure the nail/screw/brad is in the position you want...
Label holder secured with trimmers tacks...
And you have the ideal photo display...
Closeup detail of how I attached the spring...
Being Friday, I am straddling two link-ups...Thrifty Thursday at inspired by charm and
Saturday Nite Special at Funky Junk Interiors...twice the fun, double the inspiration...

I really like them! Now I have to go looking for large springs!!
I think this is one of the coolest photo display ideas I've ever seen! I'm gonna have to find me some rusty old springs!
I *love* this! So clever!
This would be great on a desk as an organizer too...for bills, to do list, and the like. Neato!
This is so great!! Where did you get the springs? Love the 'family' plate at the end -- so many possibilities with this project -- thanks for sharing it!
I LOVE this photo holder! Great use of a big old rusty spring!
Love your blog!

I just found your blog. It is fantastic! I pinned the sweater felted purse to Pinterest. I hope you don't mind. It should drive a lot of people here to look:)
