Today’s Christmas post is sponsored by minted. My Christmas cards just arrived and I couldn’t be happier. Keep them in mind for your holiday needs! It’s the 10th of the month which means it’s our creative group blog hop! This is our 16th post as a group and we think it’ll be our last, sad face. It’s a big commitment and we are trying to simplify. Love these talented ladies, please visit their fun GOLD posts when you scroll past this pretty gold antler reindeer makeover, he’s a cutie, right? We love thrifting and this little guy has been on our to-do list since we found him! We snagged him at a garage sale for a couple bucks and couldn’t resist taking him home…with an intent to spruce him up, of course!

Take a peek at the before, (which was practically screaming at me as I walked by him to be made over! LOL!)
Into my car we went and I knew right away he would be displayed at Christmastime in a fresh white hue. A few coats of white acrylic paint was all it took.
We are constantly amazed at how a bit of paint can completely transform a piece!
Buuuuut, even with a fresh coat of paint he didn’t look complete. In fact, he was just a bit washed out.
So, I glammed up his antlers with some gorgeous glamour dust and viola! The buck is now a deer! And, a fun touch to the beginning stages of this years Christmas mantle.
But wait, there’s more! (Haha, I sound like an As-Seen-On-TV commercial, right?) Even with the glittery antlers, she needed something else. I tried a cute mini grapevine wreath but it was too rustic. (Had I left him a buck, it would have been fitting. LOL!) I went through my stash of ribbon and simply tied a remnant around her neck for a quick pop of red. Perfect. 🙂
