For those of you new to Our Crafty Mom, my Dad loves to find pieces for me to upcycle-usually on the side of the road.

He has found some incredible pieces. A few weeks ago I asked him if he could keep an eye out for an old chicken feeder as I really wanted to make a centerpiece for my dining room table.

Sure enough he showed up the next week with this one that was actually in his shed!

I didn’t care that the inside was rusty as it was going to be covered anyway.

All I cared about was that it was a solid piece with no holes, so I could float flowers in it.  

The rust on the outside added to its appeal.  Also, the size was perfect for my large dining table.

All I did was give it a good cleaning and then tested it with water to make sure there were no tiny holes that I missed.

I didn’t want to damage my wood table. The hardest part was deciding what I wanted to fill this with. 

 

As I have a large hydrangea bush in full bloom in my yard, I decided to fill it with beautiful hydrangeas in varying shades.

Aren’t they the prettiest colors? 

 

I love how the soft hydrangea looks against the rusty metal.

So far the blooms haven’t wilted and it has been 4 days.

The best part is this entire centerpiece didn’t cost me a penny! 

To give it some height I added 3 Dollar Store candle holders with white taper candles.

Wouldn’t this make such a lovely centerpiece at a Rustic Outdoor Wedding? 

 

Fall is absolutely my favorite time of the year for decorating and I cannot wait to fill this with mums, pumpkins and gourds!

Don’t even get me started on my Christmas ideas! Let’s just enjoy Summer a little bit longer.
