Disclosure: Michael's provided me with a gift card to purchase some of the supplies for the ornaments used in this series.
It's Day 11. This one was so fun to make! I'll admit, I wasn't very in to the whole deer head thing. Maybe because I grew up in the south and everyone wants a deer head hanging on their wall... the real kind. Some time has passed I have officially jumped on the deer bandwagon. Still can't do a real one.... but I am loving this little 3D Deer Head Ornament.
I saw these little guys at Michael's while I was shopping for some Christmas supplies a few weeks ago and I've been so excited to use them! I also grabbed those unfinished plaque ornaments to mount my deer heads on. So here is what all you will need...
Supplies:
- 3D Deer Heads from Michael's
- Unfinished Plaque Ornament from Michaels
- Wood Stain
- Foam Brush
- Hot Glue Gun
How to make a 3D Deer Head Ornament
Using your foam brush, you are going to stain the wooden plaque. I used Minwax's Dark Walnut.
Once that is dry, I just hot glued my deer head onto the ornament. I chose to leave him unfinished, but you could certainly paint him if you wish. I almost painted him gold, but decided not to. Maybe next year ; )
Kind feels like he should have a string of lights on his antlers doesn't it? I might just have to find me one of those mini necklaces and give him a little decor of his own!

What a cute idea! I've seen big deer heads made out of corrugated cardboard, but not these tiny guys. Are they wood or paperboard?
Ashley
Hi Ann, they are that real thin craft wood. I'm not entirely sure what you would call it :/. It doesn't bend though. Hope that helps ; ) Have a great week!
Ann
It does help, thanks Ashley!
christie
was there a brand name or exact name of the heads? I can't find them anywhere. 🙁
Ashley
Hi Christie, I'm not sure of the brand names. I believe on the tags they were called "3D Deer Head", but I've already thrown them away. At my Michaels they were just back with all the ornaments with the unfinished type ornaments. Hope that helps!
Jenn @ EngineerMommy
Adorable idea! Thanks for sharing!

I hope these Deer Heads are available at Michael's again this year. I almost bought one last year, but now seeing the way you created the mounting, I HAVE to make these for my girlfriends. Such a cute idea.
Ashley
Thanks Sarah! I hope they are available too cause I need some more ; )
Sarah S
I went today at lunch, and they weren't there! I'll try another Michael's, but it's not looking promising :(.
