It’s Christmas time, and everyone is making wreaths, decorating for the season. So I thought I would share a little “DIY wreath making - farm style.”
Take one rung of barbed wire, nestle over a fence post, and voila….your new farm style country Christmas wreath.
Add a quick dusting of snow, or a touch of ice, and you have the perfect decor item for your outdoor display.
Actually I have been longing to shoot these rings of wire every time I pass by them. It seems I never have my camera when I needed it. So this time I made sure to include this fence post in my roaming around yesterday.
Head on down to your local farm supply store for supplies.
We are venturing out on another home search today, keep your fingers crossed. I know it’s out there, we just have to find it.

Sounds like a sharp project! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMy great-uncle used to collect different types of barbed wire, some of them quite decorative, and display short pieces of them on carved pieces of wood. I am amazed at how beautiful and decorative barbed wire can be!
I love easy-peasy Christmas decorating. :)
ReplyDeleteFingers are crossed for you, Jen!!!
Hugs,

Oh, the excitement and adventure of looking for a new home and fresh starts. You make it all sound so wonderful, Jen. Clever to think of a barbed wired wreath … it looks so heavenly in your photos. A little dusting of ice or snow would, indeed, be perfect. We’ve had slippery frosty mornings in your “old” area but not too evident yet. :)
ReplyDeletefollow your heart it will take you home, you'll know.
ReplyDeleteNow thats a wreath I recognize, add a bow and you're done!
Ha! Hubby asked me this past weekend what I wanted him to do w/a ring of barbed wire and I said, "keep it - we'll use it for a wreath!"
ReplyDeleteI so very much enjoy your blog. . . . thanks for keeping it real!
I actually love it! Perfect for a fence post in the country. Keeping my fingers crossed in your house hunt today.
ReplyDeleteI have actually saw those rustic barbed wire wreaths for sale around here for those who like the primitive or rustic look.It fits right in on the fence post in the snowy landscape. Great shots Jen.

ReplyDeleteYou are most certainly in the country now with the barbed wire wreaths! Add a bow and you are set to go! I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you! :)
ReplyDeleteI vote no bow - it's absolute perfection as is. One of the purest forms of Christmas beauty I've seen in a long, long, time. I so love what you see through you lens my friend. Fingers and toes crossed.... Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteI love the rustic look of these wreaths with no adornment
ReplyDeleteWith or without a bow it is nice..
ReplyDeleteThe best to you house hunting. Interestingly I have heard this is one of the best times of the year, to find what you're looking for...
I love the barbed wire 'wreath'. Make sure you wear heavy leather gloves when handling it though. Ouch! I hope your house hunt is successful soon! Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteI saw a lot of those before moving to the city. It makes me miss the country. Wishing you the best with your home search.
ReplyDeleteI have a ring of rusty barbed wire. I love it. It reminds me of a wreath too. It's stationed on my side fence with a bench under it. Great photos. We like the same things you and me. :)
ReplyDeleteHang in there Jen, house hunting can be a lot of work but you'll find it sure enough
