Oh Dear, I love this Deer Head.
I've been inspired by paper mache lately. I really love how you can make anything you want out of newspaper. On etsy I have seen some really cool faux deer heads. My room has been needing something quarky and fun. I decided a faux paper mache deer head was the right way to go. I started out crumbling newspaper into balls and using masking tape to secure them to eachother. I rolled newspaper up for the horns. To secure the horns to the head I hotglued them and taped them. After taping my deer head looked like this.
I then paper mached wrapping paper onto the deer head. I used one bottle of watered down glue. I did 3 layers. Here is the final product:
* The whole project cost less than $3. I bought the wrapping paper for $2 from Tuesday Morning. The glue was 40 cents at Target.
Oh cute! Come take a look at my hot pink deer antlers! That would even be cute for a girl's room or a woodland theme!

What a riot! I'm an art teacher, do papier-mache ALL the time, and live in a part of the country where deer hunting is huge. But I'm creeped out by the concept of shooting the same pretty white-tail deer that I see peacefully prancing and grazing in a field, so this could be the PERFECT art project! Thanks!
