    What a great way to brighten up any outdoor space. You'll be so glad you made them when winter comes around and you're the only one with lovely bright colours to look at.

    Great idea! DH is a mechanic so we have plenty of old hubcaps and wheel covers laying around. Now, if I had a fence to hang them on. The barn has weathered sides, Pretty hub cap flowers would perk up that area right nicely. Thanks for the idea. So now another project for next spring. :stew2:

    Great idea Donna! I think you've just inspired many Stewbies to save hub caps from the scrap heap :)

    How fabulous! OK, now I'm going to look like a demented old lady when I screech to a halt on the freeway and fling myself out of my car to retrieve a lone hubcap! ;)

    Donna you did it again. Now I to will be keeping my eye out for old hub caps. They look great.

    Ronni I can just see you flinging yourself out of the car to retrieve one. LOL ;)
