Coasters With Horseshoes

[PonyPalace]

I have a friend that wants me to make coasters from horseshoes. I need to figure out how to get the leather to stick to the shoe... any ideas?

Stitch it through the holes in the shoes?

I have a friend that makes these he puts them together with shoeing nails..

I was going to suggest using the nails in the hole too. I think they'd look awesome. Cheryl

Tandy has a paperweight tutorial made from them. I know it's not the same, but you can get ideas from the video maybe on stitching and such. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/Horseshoe-Paperweight-Video-How-.aspx

Well you'd nip off the nail like they do when shoeing a horse. then you could those felt tips on the bottom made to keep things from scratching the table. I don't know, I hadn't thought about that. Cheryl
