Step 1
Cut Baling Wire
Unfurl the spool of baling wire to a length of 14 inches, then cut with wire snips.
Step 2
Create Hook-Shaped Ends
Use needle-nose pliers to bend each end of the 14-inch wire into hook shapes. For an exact fit once wire becomes used as a stand, hold needle-nose pliers one inch in from the end of the baling wire, then create a hook span of one inch, the ideal size to keep the horseshoe held firmly in place.
Step 3
Shape Wire Into a Stand
Roughly 2 1/2 inches down from the tip of the hook-shaped end, bend the wire again to form the bottom part of the stand.
Step 4
Attach Wire Stand to Horseshoe
Insert the hook-shaped ends up through integrated holes in horseshoes then lean the horseshoe back against wire stand.
Step 5
Trace and Cut Banner
Trace the silhouette of a banner onto the craft paper. Cut out the shape with scissors then use a hole punch to create one hole at the top left of the banner and another at the bottom right.
Step 6
Personalize Banner
Use colored markers and decorative paper to personalize the banner with sketched accents. When complete, run twine or strands of hay through the punched holes.
Step 7
Stamp Letters
Press letter stamps onto an ink pad then press the stamp onto the banner to spell out the name of each guest.
Step 8
Attach Banners to Horseshoes
Hold the banners up to the front of the horseshoes, then fasten them in place using twine or hay.
