Well, it was inevitable, wasn’t it? After this recent post on the chicness of chicken wire, I just had to create something of my own using this rustic, simple medium.
And here it is….
Part memo board, part art, and totally my style.
The how-to is very simple; just paint your frame (if desired), use a nail gun to attach your wire, and hang.
My original idea was to use clothespins to hang stuff from it, but then I realized it was magnetic! Very.Exciting.
(edited to add-the wire used here is NOT chicken wire per se, but hardware cloth…chicken wire may not be magnetic, but this stuff is:))
I decided to use jute to tie a simple glass to it to use as a vase….
And the starfish adds a bit of seasonal flair (an initial would also be cute).

Have you jumped onto the chicken wire bandwagon? If so, I’d love to see what you’ve created!

OH.MY.GOSH.!!!!!! This is SO cute! I love how you made it for you own personal style, but how it could be so easily adapted to fit into (almost) anyone’s home! I have got to try this!
VERY CUTE (although technically not chicken wire, it’s actually hardware cloth). Well done.
So incredibly cute! I love it!
I think the hardware cloth is a great material for this project . . . it might not accept clothespins quite as well as chicken wire (since the holes are so much smaller), but the magnetic awesomeness more than makes up for it.
First, your header is beautiful. (I’m visiting from Made by you Monday) Second, your chicken wire frame is totally creative and I am loving it. Love the vase with jute. Thanks so much for sharing with us, and I “followed” your blog.
