First I took a piece of #9 wire and tried to make a horse head shape...for me this was the hardest part of the wreath since I am no artist. But I got what looked fairly decent.
Then took smaller clothes hanger type wire and kinda weaved it through to make something to attach the garland too. I copied my pattern on the wood in case I want to make another one sometime.
(I put more wire in that this, it was too far apart)
I finished it and fluffed it up and made the edges a little smother.
Attached the shiny garland for the mane and put in a few pinecones and put the halter on.. Think it turned out pretty good. A little roman nosed, and the whole head could be bigger with a red Halter, but I like him
Very cool. I've seen some of these and was thinking about trying it but it looked like too much work. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like to try that! Since I live near forest I might try branches though.
