Horse Collar and Horseshoe Sunflower Wreath

Last Christmas I made a wreath out of an old, worn, leather horse collar . I added a couple old horseshoes to it, some greenery and a burlap bow. It really turned out nicely. Feel free to take a peek at it here.   Recently, I found another horse collar at a flea market for a reasonable price, so I brought it home.   I had a couple more old horse shoes and decided to make another wreath. This one is perfect for Summer and will even work into the Fall.  

 

I wired the horseshoes together and then into the wreath.

Notice the horseshoes are facing up.

I have made a few projects with horseshoes

and have designed them with the horseshoes facing down.

Boy did I get set straight on how it would affect my luck.

I'm not superstitious, but for those who are,

they are correct!

 

You can see those projects here, here and here.

 

 

 

I wired white sunflowers into the bottom of the horse collar

 

 

 

and added a burlap bow to the top.

 

 

 

Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers

and I love how they look on this equestrian wreath.

 

    We currently have a large patch of sunflowers growing in our garden. Here's a picture of a few of them that I  picked last week for our front porch.  

 

 

 

Aren't they such cheerful flowers?

 

 

 

I think so.

    So tell me, what is your favorite flower?       'til next time,       Linking to: Knick of Time
