Are you anything like me and love wreaths? I mean LOVE them? For some weird reason I gotta have them hung up for whatever season is in season. A couple years ago in the grocery store I bought this one for $4. (Okay, and is it weird I always remember exactly what I paid for stuff?)
I fell in love with this large, fabulous wooden pulley I got as a junk gift (a/k/a free!) from a farmer last summer. I knew way back then I wanted to hang a wreath from it. (Again, is it weird to think and ponder on obscure things for like, an entire year?!)
I knew the wreath needed to attach underneath the hook somehow as not to cover up the cool pulley. Plus, if I just hung it on the pulley it would fall off. So, out came my trusty wire cutter. No fear. I knew I could wire the wreath back together once it was "strung" through the hole where the hook attaches to the pulley.

That was a mouthful.
To the pulley a brass coin thingy was added with a dab of Gorilla glue for a little "zip".
The finished project. See, you can't even tell it's been wired back together.
A girl could go crazy and clip-on miniature Indian corn, a burlap bow, etc., but I decided to leave it as-is since there's enough going on:

Holy.
It looks awesome lit up at night though!
Oh, and another thing...I am a number freak! What do you think of the LARGE old metal gas station numbers? Dang. I once saw these used as chargers under glass plates on a table scape!
(I am SO gonna use that idea someday!)
Again, too weird?
I betcha my junk girlfriends wouldn't think so!
