Oh Deer! Only 10 Fridays til Christmas!
I know what you’re thinking.
“Kelly, it’s not even Halloween yet and you’re already Ho Ho Ho-ing about Christmas.”
I want to eliminate the stress of doing everything at the last minute this year.
So while everyone else is standing in line at the post office waiting to mail a stack of cards, searching for the perfect tree (but only finding a Charlie Brown version) on Christmas eve or racing through a packed mall with a mile long list of gifts to buy, I’ll be sipping a candy cane cocktail with my feet propped in front of a roaring fire.
For the next seven Fridays, five of my creative friends and I will be sharing all things Christmas.
Gilded Deer Head!
Taxidermy is all the rage and you know I love a bit of bling so combining the two was meant to be.
Supplies:
* Paper Mache Deer Head (Michael’s)
* White Spray Paint
* Gilding Liquid (I used silver but you could try gold or copper or any craft paint color too)
* Metal Letters (Michael’s)
Spray paint your paper mache deer head and let it dry then gild the antlers. Be creative with your favorite colors and patterns.
Hang then sit down and listen for the sound of hoof prints on the roof.
P.S. the cute deer pillow is from here.
Go saddle up a reindeer and visit these creative elves for more creative Christmas ideas …
Hi Kelly,
Can you tell me where you got the deer pillow?
Thanks
Hi Kimberly – the link is at the very bottom of the post! Isn’t it the cutest!
10 Fridays? Never thought of it that way before! Better get crackin’ on it then! 🙂
Please, please where did you get that pillow?? Love it!!
Thanks!!
Hi Mary – the link for the pillow is at the very bottom of the post!
That very deer is sitting on my kitchen counter right now waiting for his project! LOVE this idea! And I’m with you on getting ready early for Christmas! My shopping will be done by Thanksgiving, and my house will be ready by Dec. 1! And then I’ll be left to enjoy the Christmas holidays! Life to the full! Melissa
Cute. But I freaked out when I realized that Christmas is so close-yikes!!
Love all your ideas! Thanks for sharing with us so we can all have beautiful homes!
My pleasure and thank you Mandi!
Simple is my motto this year…chucking most of the 13 trees…the 12 footer has already been donated…thanks for the reminder that Christmas is around the corner…oh my!!!…Love your deer head!…and that great pillow….Have a great weekend!….
I need to go simpler because having a new puppy in the house and Christmas decorations just don’t mix!
Thank you , Kelly! So cute 🙂
I am not into your deer heads or antlers but wanted to tell you that my mom has that very train case that is under the table! It is still in the same condition that it was when she was young and she is 84 now and in a nursing home. It is in her closet there.
Wow – that’s nice that it’s in such great shape. Hope your mom is doing ok
Oh DEER, Dear!!!! That is a cute idea and I LOVE that pillow! I love that Harlequin patterned chair, too! xo Diana
