chicken wire fabulous (a tutorial)

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!
