have you seen haveheart

HaveHeart1This month’s HaveHeart DIY was something new and different for me. Even though we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving in October, because the magazine is largely American-based, I decided to save my Harvest DIY for November. However, that’s not what was so ‘new and different’. What was, was the fact that the DIY was so involved. While most of my craft projects are usually simple ones, this particular project I found to be tedious. Yet, the individuality and end result made it more than worth it in the end!

diy antler motif.

this project is one that i had actually created at the beginning of the summer. because it was so simple, i felt like maybe my followers would not care to see how it was done. after months of being on the back burner, and because the end of summer is nearing, i thought that i had better post now! it’s better late than never, right?

you will not need very many supplies for this project. there are also many different ways that you can go about making an antler motif. i sort of cheated with mine when i kept the cutout for this guy and was able to use the cardboard as a ready-made stencil. obviously, you will have to make your own stencil if you haven’t yet purchased buck jr. from urban outfitters. (that, or hand paint the antlers on!)

as a bonus, you can ask your significant other to straighten your newest diy so that you can photograph it for your blog. then, when he is stepping back over the fence, get him to trip and fall and bend the fence, and then proceed to photograph him instead. ;-)))
