I am currently waist deep in Christmas bins right now preparing for Just a Girl’s Holiday Home Tour which kicks off this Monday, but I wanted to pop in and share a semi-DIY antler ornament tutorial with you.
I found these antler ornaments at Walmart for $1.97. Each ornament  came with a set of antlers tied together adorned with some brown bells. They were cute but just a bit too “lodge decor” for the look I wanted.
I separated the antlers, removed the bells, and painted them white with chalk paint!
Instead of using a paint brush, I found it easiest to wear disposable gloves and just dip my gloved fingertips into the paint. I then “massaged” the paint over the antler and hung it on a skewer stick-suspended between two glasses-to dry. You could certainly use a paint brush for this project, or spray paint, but honestly this method is probably the quickest and easiest. The chalk paint gives the antlers a nice matte bone finish. If you want them to be shiny, rub them with clear wax. Aren’t they cute? I paired them with my deer ornaments found at Lowe’s and love the woodsy feel of my tree.
Okay, back to Christmas fluffing and crafting I go! I’ll pop back in shortly to share another easy Christmas DIY with you! How is your Christmas decorating going? Are you done yet?

Super cute! I found a few white moose and deer ornaments this year that are going in my collection too. Happy decorating… And no, I’m not done yet…maybe in a few more weeks 😉

Ugh. I’m starting to panic. My house is a WRECK and I have to be done tomorrow. It’s going to be a long night… 🙂
