Rusty Barbed Fencing Wire

I visited a friend's farm a couple of weeks ago, and came home with a few rolls of old rusty barbed fencing wire as well as some farm bits and pieces.

This wire has been transformed into a heart and wreath for my garden, I must admit after many scratches later, however I am extremely pleased with the end results.

Heart:

Wreath:

On the wreath I have cut out a flower shape from rusty tin, and joined it together with a "look-alike" button in the centre.

I have also placed some "picks" around the outside - these picks were/are used to cultivate the soil.

This was a great recycling project and I have many more ideas on how to utilise this wire
