Bed Spring Christmas Tree Project

Well, It wouldn't be the holidays without a junkified Christmas tree. Flea Market Style contributor and junker extraordinaire, Cammie Metheny, has topped them all with this creative tree. So if you have an old bed spring leaning up against the shed, grab a bolt cutter and impress your junk buddies with this simple project.

For the complete how to instructions, visit Cammies blog. Hope you are staying warm and enjoying the season with family and friends!

Cheers,
Ki
