Not sure where to post this

We have tons of baling wire from Hoss's hay....Any ideas on what we can do with this other than throwing it away? Maybe crafts or in the garden?

Let's see -- there just HAVE to be some good uses for that wire!!!

My mom wraps wire around little jars to make hangers and puts little plants in them - they are darling! You could also do that with candles in the jars and hang them inside sort of "chandelier-style" or outside - for a great outdoor summer dinner lighting idea.

I KNOW there are more!

XOXO, Libbie

Is it wire wire or bailing twine(the ropey stuff)?

Oh, yeah - that would make a huge difference. All of our hay is done with that crazy orange stringy-twine here. I was thinking wire!

it's the strong rusty looking wire, you can bend it and twist it... but yep wire.

YAY!!! That's a heckuva lot more fun than twine (unless you were going to knit yourself an outdoor rug or something I guess!).

here's a few ideas:

of course another idea is to craft a wreath shape from the baling wire and attach homespun/primitive looking hearts and old vintage photos to the wreath.

lots of ideas actually, maybe a few of the ones I found might spark the creativity.

I am sure you could also recycle the wire as well.

You could create a wire stringer for peas, green beans, strawberries. I use baling wire for hanger on wooden plaques I have. I have use to make english garden fence. Have fun.

One of my friends made us a wreath using barbed wire...she wrapped it around like a wreath then added some dried flowery stuff. I LOVE it. I'll bet you could do the same with the baling wire.

How about using the wire like grapevine to create a garland or wreaths? Purely decorative. I've seen the grapevine used as garland around a front door & then seasonal accents/decorations added.
