How to Decorate a Horse Shoe

Merry (almost) Christmas !!!!

Today is going to be a special post. Have many of you out there have a Horse shoe at home?? well, ever thought about decorating it??!! here's how:


what you will need:

* anti rust paint  (metallic colour)
* Different colour beads
* beading wire
* wire cutters

1. clean your horse shoe and spray it with the anti rust paint. This works best with a metallic colour like copper, gold or silver. Follow the labeled directions and let the paint dry completely.

2. Gather your decorating supplies. Nip off bout 12inches of wire (30cm). Insert  one end of the wire into the first nail hole of the shoe and wrap it tightly around the shoe to hold the wire in place. Then, begin wrapping the strand of wire and pull the wire through the next nail holes. Keep wrapping.

3. Start threading beads into the wire when you get to the last nail hole on the left side. Use the smallest beads on curves and the back side, leaving the big ones for the flat part at the front.

4. When you get to the first nail hole on the right side stop beading and go back to making wire loops. Try to do the same number of loops you did on the left side of the shoe. If you happen to run out of wire, tie it off on the back and just twist in another strand and continue. At the final hole twist one last time at the backside juts like you did at the start, cut off any extra wire.



And that guys is how you bling out your horse shoe for Christmas!!!!
