Wow! I posted a picture of a deer silhouette I made on Instagram and had a bazillion requests for a how to (ok, maybe not a bazillion, but there were A LOT). Deer heads are pretty popular y’all! Automounter 1 3 – automatically mount network shares.
So here is my easy peasy “how to” so you can make your own deer head. Really, its SUPER easy!
An old board, I use reclaimed perfectly imperfect boards (or a new board works)
Miss Mustard Seed’s Curio Milk Paint (or any stain you might have on hand)
Sand Paper – fine sand paper 400-Grit (what I use)
Printer
a piece of chalk
Pen
Paintbrush
Hemp Oil and rag
Here’s how to paint your deer silhouette
So easy
Stain your board with Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint. No smell, no mess, just mix your milk paint thin, I use a 3 parts water to 1 part paint mix. Paint your board and wipe off, just like stain. Phew. That was hard. (no, not at all, I’m kidding, it’s so easy like easy easy) No smell.you will never use the stinky stuff again!
It will dry super duper super quick!
Next Step: Print out this deer silhouette
I used this one.
Now take the white chalk and rub it all over the back side of the picture. I know. Weird, just do it.
Now place you deer head on the board and use a ball point pen to trace the outline.
Free youtube downloader. When you lift off your picture you will have a chalk outline left.
Now take a small paint brush and paint in the area. I don’t have a picture of this step for this one but it’s easy. Like. Easy. Peasy.

(this particular deer head is on reclaimed board and has a hole in its throat, poor thing, I snapped this from one that I made at the shop at a later date to show you this step, its not the same as the finished one, no actual deer were shot in the making of this how to)
Once the paint dries, sand a little to distress and smooth, then use hemp oil to make the whole thing come alive.
Add a hanger on the back and voila.
You are done my friend. Easy. Peasy. Told ya.
