DIY: Reinventing a Vintage Mount
 |
| Whimsy! Plastic deer mount purchased from Etsy. |
 |
| Disassemble pieces. |
 |
| Paint several coats with the acrylic gesso color of your choice onto the head and frame. Gesso works best, but any other matte acrylic paint will do. It gives the piece more of an alabaster or chalkware look. Spray paint is good too, but when using white, it looks ...well ... spray painted. |
 |
| Cut an oval for the mount inside the frame. You can use a vintage wallpaper printed out from The Graphics Fairy or use a water-stained newspaper or any other material you find around the house. And welcome the newest addition to your family! |
