Doorknob Photo Holder

January 29, 2016 By Karen Creel

I went to a new antique and salvage store in Chattanooga called the Refindery. Most of the things there I would love to have had but the prices were a little out of my reach. (You get spoiled when you go to flea markets and can pick up things less expensively.) In addition to antiques, they also have a STORE full of salvage materials.

When I passed by a bin full of old doorknobs the rusty ones caught my eye. They cost less than the brass ones, but I like rusty better. I bought seven.

I brought out some old rusty wire and twine and decided to make a doorknob photo and business card holder.

I started by wrapping the wire around the doorknob.

And bending the wire into shapes to hold the photo or card.

I finished the wire with some twine to make it look a little neater.

Easy peasy!

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
