How to Make Rusty Ornaments from Workshop Finds


I'm of the belief that anything rusty is beautiful.

It has a history. 

This piece was the spout from an old oil can, I bet no one ever thought it would someday be hanging on someone's 
Christmas tree.

The history part fascinates me!

For these ornaments I added crystals from 
an old chandelier, ribbon and a decorative hook.
