www.yanzum.com Let's start with a very simple project. I had a box springs bed that was too far gone to donate, so I disassembled it, saving most of the resulting parts, even though I didn't know yet what they would become. I saved the fabric to use as a drop cloth for painting. The wood frame I saved for future wood projects. As I removed the springs, I was stacking them together when it occurred to me that they looked a lot like flowers. They easily screwed into each other because of their corkscrew shape. I divided them into 5 stacks for 5 flowers heads, but now I needed stems. The bed had a heavy iron rod rectangular frame around the perimeter, so I cut it into 4 pieces using my handy bolt cutter. Fortunately I had an additional rod in the garage for the 5th stem. I simply shoved the rods into the bottom end of the flower heads and that's all it needed to stay together. I stuck them in the ground and called them "spring flowers". Later I added a bit of color with some purple spray paint. It was easy and simple, resulting in a very unique garden sculpture. |
