Handmade horseshoe art can take the form of useful kitchen objects. A simple napkin holder uses one horseshoe as the base and two standing perpendicular to contain the napkins. One variation to give more visual interest to a simple napkin holder is to integrate a salt and pepper holder. This can be done by adding a smaller horseshoe extending on each side, opening facing outward. A suitable salt and pepper shaker is then used to fit into the piece.
Horseshoes are similar to flat disks which can be used to create a larger flat surface. A coffee table is a piece of furniture that guests will see. This is one area to bring a sense of creativity to the room. Other western, wood, or iron pieces will complement this type of coffee table. One style has a large flat top made from the horseshoes, covered with a glass top. The frame is either made purely from horseshoes welded together or welded over an iron frame. End tables are an appropriate addition to a coffee table, further bringing the western style together.
Lighting is another element in a room to make an artistic statement. Table lamps are typically made from a simple frame to hold in the wiring of the lamp itself. One example of this is an iron pipe fitted to a base and a light receptacle. Horseshoes are welded to the standing pipe, offset from each other to create visual form as well as hiding the pipe as much as possible. A lampshade of choice tops off the art piece to complement the other décor.
A wall art piece can come in different styles and sizes to suit the space. One idea is a flower picture, where the flower petals are made from the horseshoes. Another idea is an abstract work of art in which there isn't a specific form to follow, as long as it creates visual interest. Adding color to some of the horseshoes will create visual texture and guide the eye to the piece. An advantage in having a few colors added to a wall piece is that it can complement the rest of the colors in the room. Choose bright colors, in contrast with the wall color, to bring a bold artistic statement to the space.
