Deer Head Silhouette Pillow How-To
And so Deer Season continues here at our house where going overboard with a trend I like is pretty much the norm. (Which is why we have approximately 225 chalkboards in the house as well.)
Today, it’s a Deer Head Silhouette Pillow, made the super-easy way from a man’s shirt like the one I posted about last year. Click here for the details on constructing the pillow.

First, I cut the shirt to the right size for my insert. Then, I used a little Heat ‘N Bond to iron a deer pattern onto some Christmas plaid, and cut out the deer. Find a cute selection of plaid fabrics here.
After ironing the deer onto the pillow top, I decided to add a little wreath with some felt leaves like I did on this pillow and this pillow.
A little hot glue holds them in place perfectly.
With the design done, I just sewed the pillow together and I now have another deer head to add to my collection.
Mine’s just out for Christmas, but wouldn’t this be cute for a preppy boy’s room? I think yes!
It’s a darling deer and I dare you to design one for yourself. Definitely do-able!

Fabulous idea! I think I'd put a couple jingle bells on its neck too
