I have seen pictures around cyberspace of these deer heads for a long time now and I think they are cool. The real thing - not cool. But this - super cool!
I googled around and came across this. I was so excited to find this pattern. I printed it off straight away and have had it sitting in my mid-craft pile for a long time.
I finally bought some big sheets of foam core board last week (on sale of course) and got to it. I have covered it with my favourite dark wood grain contact from the Reject Shop ($2 a roll). I have used less than half the roll for this so... I could make another one :-)
My disappointment with it is that the foam core board was difficult to cut and get a smooth edge on it. Does anybody know the trick? I am thinking that an old corrugated cardboard box would be a perfect thing for this project too. You could not cover it then and just leave it in all it's natural box glory!
Well, perhaps I can find a home for it. Maybe save it up for Christmas and put a red nose on it. Or would that be implying bad taste? You know, having poor Rudolf on the wall. Oops. Oh well, still - it's pretty fun don't you think?
Have yourself a merry day.
It turned out great! Now it can have a little friend :)
