Cool and Creative Horseshoe Craft Ideas
Horseshoes have long been reused in artistic manners to showcase creative and artistic visions, and to upcycle a worn object into something that can be enjoyed by all that see it. These are fun, enjoyable, and very cool ideas that can be used for gifts and various decorations. Often these are easy to make, but if you have the skill of welding, or know somebody who does.

If you have ever wondered what things you can make out of horseshoes, this is the article for you. These horseshoe crafts ideas provide something for everyone, and offer an array of projects from which you can pick and choose depending on your crafting skill level.
It is somewhat important to explain the craft of horseshoe art, and where it all began. The hanging of horseshoes in the home began in Ireland in the 10th Century when it is said Saint Dunstan taught the devil a lesson and made him promise to never enter a home where a horseshoe hung above the door.
Since then, it has been synonymous with keeping out evil, and holding in good luck (as long as it is hung properly). The use of used and new shoes are often seen in both traditional and rustic home crafts, and have also become very popular as a way to create useful art and home products with the use of a welder or glue designed to hold metal.
Horseshoes are incredibly versatile and can be cut and welded into a variety of different shapes to create unique metal art.
Get your children involved with this fun project and turn them loose with pots of paint to create colorful, decorated horseshoes you can hang for good luck. Perfect for gifting, this is an inexpensive craft that will provide a lifelong memory.
If you are wondering where you can get horseshoes for crafts, all you need to do is visit a local feed, farm and tractor, or pet supply store either in person or online. They are inexpensive and easy to use, plus they inspire a ton of gifting ideas!
