I have a fabulous post today brought to you by DecoArt plus they have graciously supplied a giveaway of their Chalky Paint at the bottom of this post. Y’all can paint SO MANY things with the paint they are giving away. Be sure to scroll down and read how to make this mounted deer head ornament then enter the giveaway at the very bottom of this post. Americana Decor Chalky Finish paint is available in Michaels in the wood and finishes aisle. Visit the DecoArt Chalky Finish website for more chalk paint ideas and inspiration.
To make this mounted deer head ornament you will need:
- Americana Decoar Chalky Finish Paint in Everlasting
- Wood deer head ornament (grab from Michaels stores)
- Wood slice ornament (grab from Michaels stores)
- Floral wire
- Floral tape
- Gold tinsel ribbon
Start by painting your deer head with a couple of coats of the Americana Chalky Paint in Everlasting. Seriously after two coats it looked amazing. Be sure to remove the string and tag from the deer head before painting. Now lets turn him into an ornament.
Start by using hot glue to mount the head to the wood slice. Once that has dried, add some strong floral wire in a circle around the neck. Cut to size and secure with a bit of floral tape.
Start wrapping and wrapping that tinsel ribbon. I went around my wreath about three times with this gorgeous gold tinsel.
You are ready to hand this one on your tree using the string that is already through the wood slice.
I think he looks a bit regal and glamorous with a gold wreath around his neck! Be sure to pick up these great supplies from Michaels before they are gone!
Now I promised you a giveaway! You can enter for a chance to win 8 colors of your choice, clear and dark creme waxes, Soft Touch varnish, a waxing brush and 2 stencils of your choice. Sounds amazing right?

A small table that our tv sits upon would be my first project.
I have an antique cabinet that I has been wanting to refinish forever, this giveaway would be perfect for it.
