Faux Deer Head

On Monday I dropped my little boy off at Kindergarten and headed out shopping. I was strolling through Target when I saw this. I started at it for about 5 minutes and then walked off and did some other shopping. I did some other shopping and thought I will regret not getting it when I get home.

 

I remembered I had some script scrapbook paper at home, that I could cover it in.  When I actually had some time to sit down I grabbed the modge podge and started cutting my paper to fit and went to town. The project took a couple hours and that is only because of the ears and the antlers. When I was all finished I took a black sharpie and colored in his eyes.

Here is the deer all finished!  I think it turned out neat!  It is so crazy what some of the stag heads are going for online.  I paid $30 for mine and I am happy with how it turned out. 

What do you think?  Was the $30 purchase a good choice?
