Because they don’t technically have any structural purpose, a barn star can be understood as a decorative object used to enhance the look of a barn. As the name would suggest, barn stars typically come in the form of five-pointed stars. Sometimes, however, these products come in the shape of a wagon wheel or other figure, and it is technically still known as a “barn star.”
Historically, they are most popular among German-American families, but as they are becoming increasingly popular, they are cropping up on many different farms and in many different communities. Often, these barn stars are considered lucky, and in this way, they are roughly equivalent to a horseshoe. Around for many years, they were particularly popular during the Civil War. In modern times, these decorations are often intentionally rusted or distressed to look older than they actually are.

I love barns stars. They are great to decorate inside and out. I’ve used them in the garden, over the front door, even on the front door with a wreath or other accent in the middle. You can find them from 2″ to 4 foot.
