I love the deer antlers Lolitas have been sporting so I thought I'd make a pair of my own! Sorry for the appalling photo quality (if you're curious, one of the plants in view on my windowsill is, in fact, an onion that sprouted).

You will need

2 block Polymer Clay (I used a block of crimson and a block of black to get the colour I wanted) 1 Hair Band (This was a cheap black one) Fake Flowers (As many as you like!) Floral Wire 3 Ivy leaf Charm(s) Hot Glue Gun

Description

I love the deer antlers Lolitas have been sporting so I thought I'd make a pair of my own! Sorry for the appalling photo quality (if you're curious, one of the plants in view on my windowsill is, in fact, an onion that sprouted).

Instructions

1. Essentially, the headdress is two antlers made out of polymer clay hot glued to a hair band, with fake flowers, some florist's wire and a few ivy leaf charms (I had these left over from another project- they were just leaves cut out of more polymer clay using sugar cutters) to decorate. Notes: Make sure you keep an eye on the antlers if, like me, you used oven bake clay- if you leave them in the oven too long it can mess with the colour and make them look burned. Also, when gluing, make sure the glue has melted properly, otherwise the antlers won't stick down securely. The first time I tried one of them fell off due to not being properly secure.
