If you want to make good luck charms for a large number of people, this idea may be a bit too complicated - not because it is difficult, but because it takes some time. However, it is feasible for smaller numbers.

  • Horseshoes, real or decorative as you wish, but necessarily with holes
  • Beads and stones with holes
  • Floral wire or other thin wire

This is how the horseshoe is made as a gift:

All you need to do is tie one end of the wire to the first hole of the horseshoe. Then string beads/stones on and thread the wire through the next hole. Continue like this until you reach the last hole on the other side. You can attach one bead/stone per hole or, for a more lavish decoration, several and decorate one or both sides as desired.

This idea is best suited to fake horseshoes because they are lighter and less bulky. What do you need to make such pictures with horseshoes asMake your own lucky charms?

  • Object frames (these are hollow and offer enough space between the glass and the back wall to store even larger objects)
  • horseshoe
  • Sheet of paper with lettering

In general, this idea can be implemented in different ways. The horseshoe could hang from a string and remain movable, but could also be glued directly to the back of the frame. If you want to personalize it, all you have to do is print out any lettering and place it in the frame as the back of the picture.
