Wonderful..Love them all!!
Franchement super, bravo ! je n’aurais jamais imaginé tout ça, félicitations !
I grab bed springs whenever I can find them. They have a million and one uses whether they are still whole or individual springs. Thank you for the “spring” inspiration!
I 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
I am visiting you via The Dedicated House. You have a lovely blog. It would be wonderful to see you at My Dream Canvas. I am hosting a Giveaway, so please join in if you like what you see:) Have a wonderful week ahead.
Love all of your old bed spring ideas. They are adorable.
Have a great week,

The “Spring” spring wreath is cool, but the thing I pinned is the cheese graters. Genious. Over from Pintastic Tuesday.
Love the all. I gave my daughter a couple of bed springs with her other vintage birthday gifts, she was a bit unsure of them. I’ll pin this for her.
What a great round up ~ and another pin to the board! 🙂

This post is so intriguing! I cannot believe how many uses there are for things that most people would throw away. Case in Point: Old Bed Springs 🙂 I know our readers would love this, too. We have a weekly link up party going on now (Thursdays), and we would love to see this post and/or any others you would like to share at allthingswithpurpose.com. Hope to see you soon!
These 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.

Found this on Serendipity and Spice and I have pinned three things already! thanks for compiling this for us!
Great ideas! I was intriqued with the title of this post and had to check it out. So glad that I did.
Super clever! I saw this headline and had to stop over. I never thought of using old springs for decor but these are very cute!
Favorites are the wreaths and the popcorn server.
Oh wow, so many good ideas, love the candle sticks 🙂
These are so fun and creative!!
Love those bed spring ideas! My favorite is the flower pot holder, but they are all terrific uses for old springs. 🙂
Blessings!

I 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.
I 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.

I 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 .
Thanks 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.
Traci, that is awesome! Yes, you should use them and then you’ll have something beautiful to remember your Grandma.
I 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
Hi 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!
Hi
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
Hi 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.
Hi 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
