A LITTLE "VASE" OF AN ORGANIZER

I secured a wire around the neck of the vases and then looped ribbon through to create a hanger.  I then covered the wire with a little more ribbon.
I had every intention of spray painting the tool holder black or white when I first found it, but I ended up really liking the aged brass patina so have left it as is for now.

An old fireplace tool holder and some thrift store vases are transformed into a desk organizer.  This is an idea adapted from the talented ladies at the Salvage Studio.

Yes, those are the ones.......I recently came upon their book and was in awe of it. Don't know how I missed hearing about this group of talented ladies. I was so excited to see they are quite close to where I live as well, but I think I heard that they have just recently shut down their store?
