How to Use Animal Bones for Art Decor

Animal bones provide a natural and interesting rustic element to a home or office. They have been used as artwork and for practical purposes as long as humans have been hunting animals. Animal bones create a strong statement, so they are best used in moderation. They are used artistically as chandeliers, bookends, sconces, furniture and sculptures. Other types of animal bones --- such as horns and teeth --- are used for carving sculptures and jewelry.
