Faux Deer Head

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.
