Spring Planters and a Dumpster Fail!
I saw the chair leg with the rusty castor at the top of the dumpster from across the parking lot!
I climbed up the ladder on the outside of the dumpster and proceeded to try and lift out the broken chair.
The chair was perfect... rusty springs, carved legs, a gorgeous chair back, I had to have it.
Only problem is that I forget sometimes that I am not a kid anymore.
I leaned over the dumpster, grabbed the chair and started to pull.
The only thing that gave way was me.
I think I cracked a rib in the process and let me tell you... it hurt like heck!
But after all that you can bet I got that chair!!!
The rusty springs were the first things I used in a project.
You can read about more of the rusty spring projects by visiting these posts.
I had them cut in half by a neighbor that had strong bold cutters in his garage.
I painted several small terra cotta pots and attached them to the top of the springs using E6000 glue.
A little Spanish moss and a stencil and these little pots are ready for action!
They are the perfect little planter for the succulents I'm growing from the instructions in the April edition of Martha Stewart Living Magazine.
