Barb Wire Tumbleweed Globe

Whenever we replace some old fence, I try to save the rusty barb wire.  I finally found something to do with some of it.

I found this on Pinterest.  The description did not include a size.

I went with a 24 nice diameter. First, I made four individual circles.  I put three of them together the took the forth and placed it around the circumference perpendicular to the other theee.

From there it was just a matter of rolling more wire around it.

I loved it but thought it needed more wire.

 I had been using pieces of wire that I had removed the barbs from to connect the wires randomly where they crossed.  It was a bit tedious. 

Then I had an epiphany.  I remembered about these copper hog rings that I had. 

That made connecting the wires a breeze.  They should weather pretty quickly and not be too shiny. 

After adding another wreath of wire, I was done.

 I think some Christmas lights will be just the thing.
