Western General Store

This Western Garland is a new item. What fun you can have with this! It’s made of metal or tin with coiled wire and painted brown. It is 8 foot long with a loop on each end to attach anywhere you want. You can spray paint the whole thing a different color or multi colors. You could paint each piece a different color. It would be great for birthday parties or any holiday or just decoration on the mantel year round. You could even cut the wire, pull each piece out, attach a wire loop where the holes were, paint your choice of color and use for western ornaments! You could also weave it into some pine garland or into a wreath. You have a choice of Texas, Steer, Boot or Horse or buy all four so you have a big variety. I’m sure there are many more ways to use this garland. Have fun!

There's a herd of Texas Longhorns down the road from us and I've taken several photos. I took one of the photos and placed on graphite paper on bass wood to trace the outline of the head. With a wood burning tool from the craft store ($25.00) I burned in the image and finished all the shading. I framed it in maple wood for a tray. I used the Steer Drawer pulls for the handles which I spray painted textured brown and sealed the wood with a salad bowl finish. Items from westerngeneralstore.com for this project: Steer Drawer Pulls
