March 23, 2013 at 2:26 amI just recently saw these springs in a junk shop…I stood there starring at it just wondering what I could do with it – wish I saw this earlier, because I passed them up! Cute ideas

March 29, 2013 at 4:36 pmThese are some great ideas! I never would of thought of using old bed springs to create things. But these are great. Love them all. Bet there hard to find, and if you are lucky enough to run across any, I bet they want a fortune. It’s funny how we use to consist things like this trash. Now we would love to get our hands on things like this to create with.
Visiting from Project Inspired linky party.

Favorites are the wreaths and the popcorn server.

March 21, 2014 at 7:51 amI love the wreath, but don’t have enough springs on hand to do that project. I went about as easy (lazy) as you can get with them and just sprayed them and used them as Christmas trees on my mantel this winter. I’ve also seen old glass insulators added to them as a candle holder.

April 23, 2014 at 12:04 pmI just did a blogpost about rusty bed springs, and I used your Pinterest pin. Just wanted to let you know that I used it and I put the link back to you there. Thanks so much for your wonderful inspiration.

March 7, 2015 at 7:43 pmI found 2 old rusted bed frames full of their original springs way back in the Colorado mountains. Now I have more ideas! Thank you for sharing .
Traci Gill says
February 7, 2016 at 6:11 pmThanks for the inspirations. I have several of these old bed springs from my Grandmother. I’ve just always kept them in storage. I think it’s time to get them out & get my repurpose on.
Katie says
February 8, 2016 at 7:52 amTraci, that is awesome! Yes, you should use them and then you’ll have something beautiful to remember your Grandma.
Tracy says
February 17, 2017 at 4:32 pmI love the old rusty bed springs and all the things you can do with them! I just found an old bed that was dumped years ago providing a lot of these gems to utilize. I’m thinking of creating some as rustic gifts in my shop/webpage…my questions are: 1) do they need to be de-rusted for the safety of customers for tetnous reasons? and 2) what are they usually being sold for (ballpark)?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Tracy
Katie says
February 19, 2017 at 9:14 amHi Tracy, great questions! I have never actually sold bed springs myself so I’m not really helpful with the selling price. I would look around on etsy and see what similar projects are being sold for to get you started. I also don’t think you want to treat the springs. They are old and rusty and that is why people love them. The age of them tells an untold story and that is the reason they are in the condition they are. I would, however, say in the description that they have not been treated so they buyer is aware. This, of course, is just my opinion but I am sure you could treat them if you wanted.
Thanks and I’m glad I could send a little vintage spring inspiration your way! Good luck!

May 6, 2017 at 4:17 amHi
I love your bed spring wreath, I have tried to access the instruction to make one but can’t seem to connect to them. I was wondering if you would kindly send them to me, I have never seen anything like the wreath before, it is beautiful.
Kind regards
Gayle
Katie says
May 7, 2017 at 5:07 pmHi Gayle! I am sorry but this wreath tutorial was not mine. It was on another blog that I was featuring. It looks like that blog took the tutorial down and is no longer available. I have removed this feature from my post.

August 30, 2017 at 3:44 amHi Katy,
Just trying to find a bedspring idea I had seen and liked and the first one I found was this 15 DIY Vintage bed spring projects.
I opened it and low and behold it was yours. Hope you are well my friend. I will be in Utah in October maybe the training team and you and I can all go out to dinner or something?
Cheers
