A dozen or more ceramic electric insulators that were left behind from the previous owner who renovated our 1902 victorian home...
a jumble of silver wire and some red wood beads from a busted christmas garland...
I un-twisted the wire and inserted a length of wire through the hole in the center of the insulator...
on one end, I attached a rusty screw (there are no shortage of these around!)
by winding the wire around the screw...
and then I pushed the screw into the hole at the bottom of the insulator, but not before adding a dab of Amazing Goop into the hole for good measure...
I re-twisted the wire on the opposite end into fanciful shapes...and voila!
For some I added a red bead...others I left naked...since the ceramic is heavy, there is little chance of tip-over...they can display photos, hold place cards, add whimsy to your table...whatever you like...
Joining the inspiration fetes at both Funky Junk Interiors and Inspired by Charm...I hope you visit both of them for a heavy dose of creative inspiration...
