MacKenzie Childs Inspired Christmas Deer

Is it a gift or a curse? And it happens a lot...

I am wondering down the aisle at Hobby Lobby and see this...

It's a Christmas ornament. A harmless plastic deer head with glittered antlers. But my mind is saying...

This could be a much cooler Christmas wall hanging

 with an influence from my favorite Courtly Check

 of MacKenzie Childs!

After purchasing it,

I painted the head white, then added the checks and dry brushed the colors. My Son had given me some barn wood out of his burn pile when we were visiting this summer. Yes, I said burn pile! What was he thinking?

Hubby cut me a piece of the barn wood to fit a frame that I painted red.  All I had to do was 'mount' the deer head with a couple of screws from the back onto the barn wood.

And Done!

Now I just need to wait for Christmas to decorate with it!
