Hey, hey Crafty peeps! I’m Jessica from Mom 4 Real, and I am so excited to be hanging here with some of the coolest chicks around! I am totally obsessed with silver and white this year, and have created my version of a Winter Wonderland in my breakfast nook. Today I want to share a simple and inexpensive Deer Silhouette Christmas Decor project…

I started with a wooden deer silhouette of a deer head that I picked up for $1 at Michaels, a roll of Merry Christmas wrapping paper, some glitter, glue, ribbon and jingle bells.

I started by painting a very thin coat of decoupage on the front of the deer silhouette, then placing it face down on the back side of the wrapping paper.

Once the decoupage was dry, I used an X-acto knife to cut the excess paper off.

I then used a paint brush to apply glue all around the wooden silhouette, then dusted it with silver glitter. Pretty, right?

Once all of the glitter and glue had dried, I tied 3 jingle bells with ribbon, then hot glued them to the bottom of one of the antlers…she is a doe, I guess.

I hung my sweet sparkly deer close to the top of my little tree that was already decorated in silver and white!

It fits in perfectly with the rest of the decor in my breakfast nook, and I couldn’t be happier!

Come on by for a visit and find the tutorial for the Stacked Christmas Tree Topiaries shown above, and many more fun holiday crafts and decor!

Happy Holidays, and thank you so much for having me over!
