Garden Planter = Wire Dome

bring the beauty of nature indoors with

a dome made from a wire garden planter!

It's perfect for every season...

* over a nest with leaves tucked into it, resting on a wood round for autumn.
* over a branch of evergreen with some vintage ornaments or pine cones for winter.
* over a nest with wood or stone eggs and tiny daffodils for spring.
* over a white ironstone plate filled with shells from the seashore in summer.

 You aren't going to believe how easy this ONE STEP PROJECT is!

 Start with a simple wire garden planter from the home center:

Disconnect the hanging wires. Turn the planter upside down,

 ... and voila, you have a wire dome!

You can also cut a short length of the hanging wire

and then attach it as a loop at the top of the planter as a handle, as I've done here.

The planters will come as new, shiny metal from the home center -

but if you look for them at garage sales and thrift shops, 

you just might find some nicely rusted ones like these!

You can also make a wire dome from a tomato cage too!

Way back in 2008, I sold these in my booth at Faded Elegance Antiques in Everett, Washington -
and I kept having to make them because they sold so fast!

Fun Fact:

This photo is of my very first 'vintage' booth,

a little space that was a mere 2 feet deep and 8 feet wide in the back of the store.
It was the first stop of many wonderful years as a vendor in the vintage world.
This is where 'Retreat' started, 

and you can see how my former business reflected my love of nature 

and of using everyday items as decorative elements -

just as I do here at homewardFOUND decor.
