I thought those old hubcaps were junk until she attached 5 of them to the fence... now it's everywhere

Transform your old hubcaps into a stunning piece of outdoor art with this simple DIY project. By attaching hubcaps to your fence, you can add a unique and eye-catching feature to your garden or backyard. This project is perfect for those looking to recycle unused materials and bring a bit of creativity to their outdoor spaces.

This hubcap fence art can serve as a focal point in your garden, especially when placed against a wooden or metal fence. Coordinate with garden furniture colors or other metallic accents to create a cohesive look. Consider adding climbing plants around the fence to enhance the rustic charm and contrast with the metallic shine of the hubcaps.

5 vintage metal hubcaps (approximately 15 inches in diameter)

Clean the hubcaps thoroughly to remove any dirt and rust. This will ensure they look their best and adhere properly to the fence.

Plan the layout of the hubcaps on the fence by arranging them on the ground in front of it. Use a measuring tape to space them evenly, ensuring a symmetrical and balanced design.

Mark the positions on the fence where each hubcap will be attached using a pencil or marker.

Put on your protective gloves and use the drill with a metal drill bit to make a hole in the top and bottom of each hubcap. Make sure the holes are aligned for straight mounting.

Hold the first hubcap in place on the fence at the marked position. Use a level tool to ensure it is straight.

Secure the hubcap to the fence by drilling screws through the holes in the hubcap into the fence. Repeat this process for each hubcap, checking alignment with the level tool as you go.

Step back and admire your unique fence art, making any final adjustments to ensure each hubcap is securely fastened and perfectly aligned.

For a personalized touch, consider painting the hubcaps in different colors to match your garden's color scheme. Alternatively, try using hubcaps of varying sizes or styles for a more eclectic look. If you prefer a less permanent installation, use strong adhesive hooks that can hold metal, allowing you to change the arrangement or remove the hubcaps easily. Adding solar-powered lights around the hubcaps can also create a stunning nighttime display, highlighting the art even after dark.
