Horseshoe Crafts

Horseshoes are thought to be an element of good luck, which makes many people want to keep it in their homes. If you are one of them, it would be a good idea to deck the plain horseshoes with ribbons, yarn, paint and accents to integrate them into your home décor. Horseshoes can be welded into ornaments, Christmas trees and a variety of festive décor items as well.
