DIY Deer Head Sculpture...

My love for natural eclectic decor continues...

I have been wanting a deer head for

my gallery wall in my office for sometime now.
Not like a taxidermists work of art, like one
that used to have a pulse, but a sculpture painted solid white.

 I wasn't liking the prices I saw of sculptures...

So, I decided to make my own deer head sculpture.

I love how it turned out & I also

love the price {$8.00!!}

There is the lovely little deer head I made...
I love how it turned out. 
It was very simple & affordable...

First I bought a paper mache reindeer from Michaels craft store.

{I got it with a %50 off coupon, so it was only $8.00}

I then chopped off the head of the reindeer.. I felt very morbid during this point,

I am officially on Santa's naughty list this year!!

I used the wall as a reference to how much I should chop off to see how

it would hang on the wall. After I got it perfect, I spray painted it white.

{I used a high gloss white spray paint}

& voila there you have your very own deer head sculpture. 

I love the deer sculpture added to my gallery wall

because it adds more of the masculine feel I was going for.

You can see more on the gallery wall {here}

To hang the deer head on the wall, I simply used one

nail to hang the head on, You may find a different

way to hang yours, It just depends on how you 

want it to hang.

The gallery wall is still in progress, but this deer

head adds a great element to the gallery wall.

I like the frame around the deer,

but mounting it on a board or simply hanging

it on the wall would look great as well!

I think I am in love... & I am going to love working

under this little deer at my desk. I think he 

needs a name...  & yes it's a he :)

This is one of my favorite crafts I have done in a while. 

Do you have an antler or deer head art in your house?

I would love to see it.. link it up on the Facebook page {here}.

I hope you all are having a great week so far... I am 

working on a few furniture projects, so it has been a great week!
