Read on to make your own glitter antler reindeer head art aaaand the best part is you can simply remove the rhinestone and display this dear decor year round, too. Gotta love a two-for-one-craft!
Cut your wood to size. (I used scrap MDF so I cut it down on my saw. You could use any size, mine is 24″ x 24″.)
Paint the whole piece white. If you use MDF, be aware it sucks up paint…I primed it first.
I used 3″ painters tape and taped off starting from the bottom.
Paint the exposed lines black after taping off.
Using a power sander, sand until desired “scratchiness”. This is optional, I prefer the distressed look.
Cut the free deer stencil with your vinyl machine and apply it to your wood.
Paint the inside of the deer stencil yellow.
As soon as the paint is dry, coat the antlers in decoupage & immediately pour glitter on top of the wet decoupage.
When the glitter is dry, remove the stencil.
Don’t forget to add that sticker rhinestone to his nose make him look like Rudolph so you’re ready for Christmas!.
Notes
We are often asked what vinyl cutter we have to cut the stencils for the signs and decor we create. We have been using our 24″ industrial cutter for years, which is pricey and instead of replacing it we snagged a Silhouette Cameo.
