I have wanted one of these white deer heads for some time. I found one in Charlotte at a cute shop, but the price wasn't cute...$100.
Here it hangs on the wall between the shutters in my daughter's room. It is hanging a bit high, but I had already put so many holes in the wall; hence, the wreath around his neck to mask the holes.
I found this silver one at TJMaxx. I know! Can you believe it? I love the Maxx. They had two, and I wish I had grabbed both! Often, I find a good deal and think I need more than one, which really eliminates the whole idea of saving money...trying to buy just one, when I see a good deal.
Here is one I found online for about $50. I purchased mine for $14 and I already had the flat white paint.
I will definitely be making this one for Christmas next year! Dusty Coyote did an awesome job making it. Her display is so great, too! Pay her a visit and see the colorful one she made, too! Tell her you came over from TPL!
Here is a puzzle deer head (Books-a-Million) hanging in the tree house (here and here.) I should take it down and use it as a template to make more deer heads in different colors. Hmmmm....
Thanks for stopping by!

I love this idea too! I wouldn't like to use it silver, but painted white it's perfect! You can leave that our year round.

Your deer came out great. And I know what you mean about buying more than one item. My husband claims my theory is, if one is good, than three is better…. He might be right! Laura
