I love animals, real and not so real.
Every now and then, they need a little help…
This guy looked a little fake, scary, the wow factor was definitely missing.
Spray paint to the rescue!
NOW, He’s magazine worthy. I’ve seen his kind around a lot lately!

I love this! I cannot believe how different it looks after! I guess now I will be on the hunt for my own! I am hosting my first link party today, and would love for you to add this along with anything else you like!

p.s. Can’t wait to meet you at Haven!!!
Really beautiful. Amazing what a coat of spray paint can do. Love the different variations and shadows even with just the white paint.
Hi Debbie,
Great makeover!!!
It always amazes me what a little white paint can do!
Love it!

Gotta love what a little spray paint can do. 🙂 Great upgrade.

Terrific Ballard’s knock off! Thanks for sharing you recipe at Potpourri Friday!
Excuse me, your project!
oh do I have a couple of these laying in the garage… but it’s allmost sacrilege around here to paint the beloved antlers!!
Kim, this was plastic or something like plastic 🙂
Debbie

Love this…I have a pair of antlers that are waiting for spray paint!
Oh the power of spray paint, how great it is! He does look less scary and definitely magazine worthy! Way to go!
Reminds of ones that David Bromstad has used on Color Splash! He uses alot of animal heads in he’s designs! And in bold colors! Love the idea!
Donna, A bold color is a great idea! Maybe the next one 🙂
That looks so much better Debbie! I have not jumped on the antler wagon yet. Maybe if I find a small pair one day. Happy Thursday!
