Holiday Horseshoes

I love dressing up Paco's old horseshoes to use as decor items! Goodness knows, we always have plenty laying around! LOL!!

This is a very easy project. I had Jerry clean up the used horseshoes for me to get rid of all the dirt and horse poop! I gathered up some fake holiday greenery and poinsettias from some tacky looking centerpieces that I had laying around, dug out the glue gun and put on my creative hat.



I think they turned out pretty nice! :)

    Nice idea! I don't have horse shoes but if I did that would be something fun to do. I'd put a horse shoe up rather then a wreath!

    Hi Candy, If I had horses, I would try this! I love how your Christmas decoration project came out. Those red flowers on the silvery metal really is nice. Have a great Thursday tomorrow!

    I love these! I don't have a horse so I'll just enjoy yours. Maybe my husband's old boots can be decorated up!

    That'a beautiful homemade farm-made Christmas decoration!

    Now if I could only make something with the goat's hoof trimmings......

    I love this! I think I might have one old horseshoe around, and this would be perfect to make it beautiful!

    Carolyn Renee, my dogs love to gnaw on goat hoof trimmings. Gross, I know, but true!
