diy deer head tutorial

this is possibly the easiest diy project i have ever done.

it went smoothly and turned out just as i was hoping.

i purchased 2 sitting deer at micheals.

they were on clearance for $8.99 each.

step 1:

cut off heads.

i took the deer to my local home depot's tool rental.

they used the chop saw to remove the heads.

{hint: you need to cut the heads at the same angle that you want them to hang on the wall}

step 2:

wipe the heads down of any dirt or dust to prep for painting.

step 3:

paint the deer heads.

i used a white primer and a high gloss pure white paint.

it took me 4 coats total.

step 4:

select fabric and cut to fit your plaque.

i used a leftover backing from an old picture frame as my plaque.

step 5:

glue fabric to backing.

i used mod podge and it worked perfectly.

step 6:

wrap fabric tightly around plaque

step 7:

glue deer head to fabric plaque.

i used super glue. i am an a super glue kick!

step 8:

attach hook on back.

i used a leftover hook from an ikea picture i purchased. it works perfect.

i used a hot glue gun to adhere it to the plaque.

and your finished.

inexpensive, simple, and quick.

that's my kind of diy project.
