diy faux antlers

Uncategorized

to make these first i got some bits of branches and taped them together in the style of an antler. then i covered the branch with air drying clay, i smoothed it out as best as i could, using water to make the clay easier to work with adding the clay a bit at a time.
at the bottom of the antler i used the end of another twig to prick the clay to look like bone.

then i watered down some brown paint and stained them a bit to make them look slightly brown,i didnt want them too brown as the real antlers are have i sprayed white, so i wanted them to look ok together.
for a great authentic paint technique check out lucys tutorial over at craftberry bush hers look so real.
