Spring Nest Wreath

More bed springs!  BTW--I clipped mine (ok hubby did) out of a box spring we were getting rid of.  Thrift stores often have box springs for cheap so that is one place to look if you are wanting to put some SPRING in your decorating.

So--here is what I did.  I tied 6 springs together with jute.  You need to tie each spring together in 3 places.  I then tied some more little jute pieces on the springs for decoration.

I hot glued some moss to a purchased nest and added a little birdie.  I hot glued this onto the wreath.

I wanted a messy, somewhat organic bow so I used ribbon, burlap and jute.

I needed a tag.  I was going to decoupage over one of the tags I had chalkboard painted this past weekend.  When I went to grab an old book for decoupage I had an EPIPHANY.  I loved the color of the book cover so why not make my tag out of it (my wheels are spinning now and I have some many other ideas for these book cover tags!).  Using a utility knife, I scored around the chalkboard tag and then cut again (remember a cutting board underneath).

Drill a hole through the tag. STOP--do not drill into your cutting board like I almost did :). I decoupaged a bit of a book page on it and handpainted nest, but you could use stickers or print something off of the computer.

Attached the tag with jute and there you go, a SPRING wreath!
