How to Make the Bed Spring Tree:

1. Two different types of bed springs were used to make this tree. The outer spring is larger and bigger and comes from a better quality box spring. The inside spring is thinner and is more of a cone shape instead of the triangular shape of the larger, outside spring.

2. Attach the thinner spring to the inside of the larger spring with thin wire so that it is sticking out the bottom of the larger spring a few inches.

3. Pull apart the spray separating the little wired balls. Attach the balls to the large bed spring by winding the wires around the bed spring. If you don’t want to use a spray, you can just string beads onto wires and then attach them to the spring.

4. Cut short lengths of green yarn and tie them to the spring covering the wires that you wound around the spring.

5. Cut a star shape from a brown bag using a star punch and then use a thin wire to attach it to the large spring.

6. To finish glue the jute ribbon around the edge of the lid and place the bed spring tree in the lid.
