DIY Deer Head: Christmas Decor

Hey friends! How's your December been so far?I have to admit the hustle & bustle of the Christmas season has kept me busy with shop orders, the renovations have made me feeling dishelved, and the past few weeks I have been suffering from acute-my-butt-has-no-energy syndrome. If I was a duchess I suppose this would have made your front page news, but alas I am not. Any who, I think I may have mustered up enough energy to share one of my most recent Christmas projects.Meet my stud, Stephen.This guy totally reminds me of a Stephen King made- for- TV movie that the hubz and I wasted 6 hours of our life on about a year ago.To spare you most of the details, the summary of the movie is the main character speaks to a wall-mounted moosehead and later to a talking tree. I practically peed my pants through the whole movie & it wasn't because of fright.Anyways, I know Stephen is no moosehead but I totally hope I never catch anyone talking to him. This project was extremely easy.I stumbled upon this giant, green, sequined reindeer ornament at Garden Ridge over a month ago.Honestly, I think I saved a Christmas tree's life.Not sure how an ornament this large wouldn't manage to cause evergreen conifer homicide. I picked up a wood plaque from Hobby Lobby, spray painted it red, and then mounted the base of Stephen's neck to the plaque with ALOT of super, duper strong wood glue. Then I went all Hannibal Lecter on his butt. I seriously wish I had a picture of this step.I needed something to hold pressure down on the ornament until the glue dried so I took a bunch of rope and tied the deer adorned plaque down on a work table in our garage. He look like he was being held hostage. The funny part was the hubby had no idea I was working on this project so when he walked out to his car the next morning I am sure he was rather concerned about my mental state of mind.I think Stephen will look nice & festive above our front door or perhaps decorated among our new-soon-to-be mantle/fireplace.  Have you finished your holiday decorating yet?
