"Mom, mom, MOM! I want to be in the picture too!"
I don't know about you, but when you see a paper mache deer head, do you not think of white paint and gold glitter?? No? Weird.
Anyway, I spray painted the head and ear part with my favorite spray paint. Let that dry and then wrapped that part with Saran wrap to glitter the antlers.
But then the great North American glitter spill occurred...
Ok, fine that was a bit dramatic.
Here is the final product...
Which I did love but it was not really the impact I was hoping for.
So Saturday morning, I woke and the idea just popped into my head. I need to paint a wall in the living room with chalkboard paint. The deer head would look amazing on that!
I snapped a quick iphone pic to show you the before.
Don't mind the mess:) Its real life, people.
And here is the after with paper mache deer head included...
I used Rustoleum chalkboard paint. So go get some and paint a wall, quick!

I am soooo ready to pull the trigger and paint me a chalkboard wall too! And I love how a paper deer head started it all!

What did you use to adhere the glitter to the antlers?
Ah yes, I realize I completely omitted that step in the post. Sorry, Nicole. First I took about a half cup of Mod podge (you can use whatever finish you like) and mixed about 1/3 cup of glitter. I then painted that onto the antlers. Before it dried, I dusted the antlers with glitter to get full coverage. Then I painted the Mod Podge/glitter mixture over that to seal all the glitter onto the antlers.
Awesome, thank you!
