Next came the metal loops. I was thinking was would be able to get some thick wire to bend into a cute spiral shape, but that didn’t work. I was super excited when I found these poles at Home Depot, it is a sign holder (for garage sale signs). One problem though, I need to bend them into spirals. I soon learned that it is not easy to bend steel, it’s a pretty tough material. Luckily I have an awesome husband that is strong enough to bend them and cut them to sizes that I needed.
Eventhough I had a couple of problems, I love the outcome. When I was actually making it, it really didn’t take very long, what took long was figuring out how to do it. Now that I finally have it all figured out, maybe I will make one for someone else 🙂

Super cute! So many of my projects are like yours….seem easy when you see them in your head, but the actual execution leaves a bit to be desired 🙂 I always say true creativity is improvising our art as we go, and not giving up.
