Made from cardboard, this deer head has been covered with a pretty blue and pink ‘vintage-feel’ papier-mâché and adorned with Capodimonte roses for eyes.
Upcycling at it’s best! Capodimonte roses saved from a chipped candle holder.
Although just for display purposes, the deer head looks great with lightweight jewellery hanging from it’s antlers!
Finding it’s way into my Shop tonight

The beauty of papier-mâché is – if you don’t like it, stick something over the top!
Some of you may remember me posting a photo of a cardboard impala covered in a dark red paper ….
As much as I loved the red paper, something wasn’t working for me, so I found a lighter, brighter paper and covered it again. this time in a pretty blue.
But it was still lacking something. Eyes?
Some time ago I bought two candle holders from a charity shop; each with three roses on the base. I had intended using them for a mosaic but I thought they’d be perfect for this. Anyway, after enlisting the help of my husband and a Dremel I now had a pair of peepers.
Well, in actual fact I think they look like fluttery eyelashes!
