DIY: Name sign and halter hook

We were shopping at Michael's the other day and I had an impromptu idea to put together a little name sign for Max. After some paint and varnish here are the results:

I thought it would be neat to hang this by his paddock gate and have his halter hang by the hook instead of over the post. Cannot wait to install it tomorrow!! I'll be sure to post some pics.

I also picked up a couple of skeins of yarn and some beads to make a new ear mask for him. The one he wears now was made for another horse with a bigger head. Hopefully I'll get this new one done by next summer!!

I need a new hat! And in turquoise please!
