Yesterday I showed you my new paper mache deer head from Paper Patch by Rico Design, I love it! After a little deliberation I decided to paint it in a duck egg blue colour and glittered it's antlers with a lovely smoky quartz shade of gold glitter so that it matches my new flocked deer from Paperchase. I intend to keep it hung up all year round and am adding a few baubles and lights to my sparkly antler deer stag head for Christmas!
Here's how I did it...
Remove any labels from the stag deer head and ensure the stag is clean and dry
Start by painting the head in paint, making sure you don't apply too much paint at once as you don't want to soak the deer.
After covering in one layer of paint, leave to dry.
Apply a second coat of paint to get a lovely even colour.
Brush the antlers with glue making sure you cover every section, turning and twisting to ensure they are completed covered in glue.
Liberally sprinkle antlers with glitter, again turning and twisting so you cover the entire antlers in glitter. Leave to dry. If you have missed any patches just apply a little glue and sprinkle in glitter. Add hooks or tape to the back and hang from the wall!
