Make your own Quick & Easy DIY Geometric Deer Head Wall Art

I love projects that can be done in an hour or less. There I said it! I also love projects that can be done with scrap wood and supplies that are easily purchased for not a lot of money.

Here’s what I used for quick and easy DIY Geometric Deer Head Wall Art:

Take these supplies for instance: a deer head cut-out shape from the craft store bargain bin and two pieces of scrap planks. With these supplies and about an hour of my time, I was able to make my own quick and easy DIY, geometric deer head wall art. I simply fused two planks together with some wood glue. Then I used gel stain in Minwax Chestnut and white chalk paint on the boards and deer head respectively. A note about the deer head – I got mine at Michael’s, but lately I’ve seen similar faux wood pieces at the dollar store.

Alright, now to add some interest to your deer head and made it a little three-dimensional. Simply use a cut-down paint stir stick, or in my case, a wood shim and affix it to the middle of your boards. I used small nails, but you can easily use glue.

Paint the antlers in metallic paint and then use a stencil to trace some fun geometry on the rest of the deer head.

The next step is to trace your stencil with a pointy Sharpie pen! Le. Love.

The last step is to hang a picture hanger on your deer head, a hook on your little piece of wood shim and picture hanger on the back of the wood planks so it will hang on the wall.

I sort of love the way it looks in our neutral and metallic living room for the holidays! Also in this shot is our Twig and Book Page Advent Calendar.
