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 am very blessed to be great friends with my mom.
She lives about three hours from me in western North Carolina.
I was able to spend two days with her last week and
like always, I came home with goodies.
Two barb wire wreaths were some of the goodies from this trip.
Some time ago, my brother had been visiting with her
and was helping my dad with some of the fencing.
There was some old rusty barb wire they tore down and didn't need,
so rather than disposing of it, he rolled it into wreaths for her.
Remember a while back I made a beautiful winter wreath from an old horse harness?
You can check it out here.
I used horseshoes as part of the decoration for the wreath and I had a few extras.
I also had a rescued chunk of rough sawn wood, that I saved from our burn pile.
I knew that I wanted to make the wood piece into a candle holder,
but the idea to add the horseshoes came when I laid the chunk of wood on the counter in my workshop next to the box of extra horseshoes.
