A Crafty Deer and Vignette

I hope the start to your week is going well. I am a little under the weather with a head cold, but Nyquil worked wonders last night so I could sleep. It is very cold and windy here for the south, but that just helps it feel more like the holidays. 

Last week I worked on a little craft project that popped in my head. I had just set out my plastic deer as it was and then it came to me to add some moss to it just to beef it up a bit. So a little trip to Hobby Lobby was in order.

 Here is the nekkid deer. Now I know that is improper english, but is just sounds better. I have two of these and have had them for years.

Here are the supplies needed. Spray glue and some sheet moss.

All I did was spray the glue on the deer and starting putting pieces of moss on it and all over my hands till it was all covered. I thought I would leave the antlers plain to look more natural.

Doesn't it look better? Actually this is the other deer that faces the other way. I didn't take a before shot of this one so I remembered to take one of the other deer since they are alike.

This is where I have placed it as part of this vignette in the great room.

I filled this wooden bowl with fresh greenery, ornaments, battery operated candle, and a little bird nest with a teeny tiny cardinal in it. Eventually I am going to go to Home Depot and get some free Christmas tree scraps so it will smell like Christmas throughout the house.

Placed this Pottery Barn lantern, that I have had for years, here and tied a burlap and plaid bow to it.

Placed this candle from PB on top of some deer moss in the lantern. I know PB candles cost more, but I have had this for probably four years and it has burned down the center about half way and still has plenty of burn time left so I think it makes up for the cost.

Close up the nest and cardinal.

Just a simple vignette to add a little Christmas to this area.
