Ideas For Antique Flower Frogs

Tonight's sale includes 2 antique metal pin-style flower frogs. I have seen so many cute ideas for using these in new and not-so-new ways.

I love using them to display photos, quotes or other ephemera. A word of caution - these buggers are sharp!! So why not put a cloche over the whole thing? Protects fingers and keeps the dust at bay. Brilliant! I also love the look of a collection of frogs in a bowl or artfully stacked.

The above photos came from the following sites: Top left - froggoestomarket; Top right - mamiejanes; Bottom left - skitzoleezrastudio; Bottom right - cheryl-comfort.

They can also have a practical use, holding place cards or individual letters to create a message.

Check out vintagemellie for more shabby/vintage inspiration.

And, of course, you can use them to arrange flowers - how novel!

That's just a few ideas for these fab little pieces of history. Got more ideas? Please share them in the comments below!
