    I am oddly drawn to the deer head! It doesn't go with my style at all but I love it!

    Those medallions are so cool. Maybe in miniature size they would make nice gift tag type of decorations.

    Thanks for the links! I'm going to try to make a jackalope bust based off of the deer head for my husband's office...he once truly thought they were real. He actually argued with me that it was a mythical creature...lol. Now its an inside joke :).

    What good ideas! The paper deer head is such a great alternative to real heads on walls. They're pretty creepy when I think of them.

    Love the deer head. I saw a cardboard one on Rock Paper Scissors but could not justify shelling out the money. This is a nice option. I will make it to hang in my teenage son's room and see how long it will take for him to notice.

    Thanks for sharing these! I've made a few sets of tile coasters with maps, but haven't tried paper napkins - I guess that will be next!

    Thank YOU for the link to the deer head! I spotted something so similar to this in a fantastic shop called Paper Sky in San Luis Obispo, CA, last weekend on a trip but couldn't bring myself to shell out the $50. I've already printed out the parts, now to find time to make this dear deer. THANKS!
