Rusty Wheel Wreath and Window Drape

Last Sunday when we come home from Church and drove in the garage, this old rusty wheel on my peg board caught my eye ... there is a ready-made wreath. 
(You can click picture to enlarge)

I put the wheel inside a spiral grapevine wreath that I bought the other day for $3.00. They fit together just perfectly ... well almost.

I had just finished hanging the window garland drape on my dining room window and added the old rusty metal bow. The wreath and the bow complement each other very well.

 A few grungy tin stars and a glittered Christmas tag was all it needed. A old green sap bucket is holding the tall twigs.

When my hubs saw it ... he said ... "what's that ???"

He just does not understand "rusty" treasures.

The spiral wreath gives the illusion that the wheel is turning.
The old red barnwood rack with glass door knobs that a friend gave me was the perfect place to hang it.
(good friend to have as he demolished old buildings and saves everything)...The hand painted tray hanging above just echo the rustic feel of an old farmhouse and barn.

Not my usual kind of wreath, but it was fun to make and worked out okay with this display.

Hope you get inspired to use what you find to make some fun and different Christmas decoration.  

The window Garland drape is faux iced pine with tiny pinecones. I added the snowflakes and peppermint twist ornaments. The large ornaments on the sides anchor the setting. Snowflakes are from the Dollar Store this year. The pepperment twists were bought there at least ten years ago.  I never tire of them. 

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.
