To be ready for Christmas crafting, I ordered 50 mini deer. Preferably, I’d like to use vintage, but for how I use them the cost is just too high. And I doubt my shoppers would notice if they were old or not.
The order came and the little guys were pretty cute, just what I needed. But I did think the color was a little flat.
So I got out the warm, brown Stays On ink and rubbed some on with an old brush. I felt like that helped give them some dimension.
Most ended up coated with glue and a fine, snow-like glitter, so I didn’t replace the white spots. I’m pleased with how they turned out, it was an easy fix, and so far I’ve used lots of them in my projects. Yep, I’m full speed on Santa Season decor and have already been building up the sparkly inventory.
Pictures to come, and boy, will there be tons of them.
