Spring into Spring
This post will show you how to make a floral nest using a rusty spring (mattress coil).
I was fortunate to have found a bunch of rusty springs in the field behind my house; however, you can google them online and find some to purchase. 
First, take a grape vine garland and cut it to fit around the bottom of the spring.
Next, wire the garland to the bottom of the spring.
Glue flowers to the floral garland. I dry my garden florals with a preservation method you can access with this link, "Saving the Last of Summer's Roses."
Thread the top of the spring through the bottom of the nest.
Glue an assortment of flowers, birds, or butterflies to the floral arrangement.
Feathers are also a nice accent. I also like to add floral berries to the nest.
After you make your nest on a bed spring, you can place it in a lighted window and have some fun with a photo shoot.
