I was burning a pile of pallets when I realized that the nail's coming from the ashes looked really old and rustic.I wanted to make some sort of project with them.So i started doodling and found this fun craft.
Recycle Old Nail's

I used some water pressure to get the weak rust of the nails.let them dry before doing anything with them.
Start Your Circle

Start making your circle with the nail's.You can really just choose the size of your circle.
Epoxy Fun

I used a two part epoxy.But you can really use any strong glue I don't recommend hot glue.Hold down the nails when you apply the epoxy.
Dry
![45057815_757186977974472_3182845811746668544_n.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FA2/C5UL/JNULFYQO/FA2C5ULJNULFYQO.jpg&filename=45057815_757186977974472_3182845811746668544_n.jpg)
I suggest you use parchment paper under the drying star,I got my star stuck on the ground.
Extra Nails

While it was drying I used some nails to make a butterfly if you can make it out.
Putting Up

I simply put a nail in the wall but you can do what you want.
All Done

I'm sorry about the pictures they weren't the best. But this project was pretty fun and easy for beginners like myself.
