Another DIY Project...Deer Head

I received my small wooden deer head the other day from Hart & Heim. If you haven't seen their site, check them out! They have some really great & unique products for the home! After getting an email from a friend about 'Dorm Decor' by Chronicle Books (Being released on March 25th) I went to their blog. Of course, I came across this perfect DIY project involving a deer head (not a real one of course, must stay Green). Anyhow, I loved it sooo much I wanted to share it here...in case you'd rather make one, then buy one. I haven't decided if I will make my plain wooden one into a colorful piece....but it sure does look nice!
Dorm Decor by Theresa Gonzalez & Nicole Smith, makes a perfect gift for anyone who has kids going off to college.


Here's what you'll need to make this little guy below:

Deer templates
1 20″ x 30″ piece (3/16″-thick) foam core
1 6″ x 7″ piece (1/2″-thick) foam core
60″ length (30″-wide) wrapping paper
1 6″ x 7″ piece of contrasting paper
Craft knife
Cutting board
Spray adhesive
Picture-frame hanging wire
Awl

Have Fun!

  6. I found this tutorial last week and was SO excited, I can't wait to adapt it to a number of different animals. As much as I appreciate the original designs, the prices that were tagged onto what are essentially ply jigsaws was just outrageous.
