Today there are not many who meet a stuffed deer head hanging on the wall. It’s much more humane, and it’s cheaper to make it with your own hands, especially since such jewelry is in fashion right now. They can be completely different, ranging from color to material. Although this is not easy, but if you are careful and diligent, then everything will certainly work out.
It is important to pay particular attention to size. The head of a deer on the wall should correspond to the size of the room in which it will be located. If you make it too large, it will look extremely inappropriate and interfere with the overall design. A too small sculpture will not look as impressive as it could.
Material
If there are male hands ready to help you, then the head of a deer can be made of plywood, since there you have to work with a jigsaw. If this option does not work, then it is quite possible to do with ordinary cardboard. These are the most optimal materials for this purpose.
But if it is possible to make plywood, it is better to opt for it. After the design is ready, it can be treated with impregnation, painted, and the decoration will look very beautiful. In addition, the final appearance of the product is largely dependent on the paint. If you decide to use several colors, it will look even more advantageous.
Plywood deer head
The advantage of plywood is that it is flexible, easily sawn with a jigsaw and glued. Masters recommend using bakelite-based plywood for crafts. Its important property is its resistance to moisture, that is, subsequently the finished product can be washed easily. But, unfortunately, this is expensive material, and not everyone will decide to spend such a lot of money.
It is also important to choose glue. Some recommend making it yourself, but today the choice on the market of various adhesives is so wide that there is no need for this, the more you can find very high quality and reliable.
The finished product will certainly collect a lot of dust, so wet cleaning will be required. This once again confirms that treating the plywood with impregnation and painting will be a must.
