Altered Rocking Horse - Le Cirque Style!

I found another thrift store treasure!! This rocking horse was originally a cherry wood with a horrid, white mane made from yarn! I just loved the playful feel to this piece and knew it must be altered!! I was originally going to use the Christmas Emporium collection, but decided upon the brightly coloured Le Cirque papers from Graphic 45 instead.

The tail is made from twine and attached with a Graphic 45 metal button!  I made the saddle by bending one of Graphic 45's ornate metal plates and adorning with bits of fussy cut patterns from the paper.

Thanks so much for your visit today!!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
