I did these! Only I used hairspray to cover the glitter after it didn't soak off well. After that was dry and smooth, I covered them in black chalk paint. Tied buffalo check ribbon around their necks for scarves. Glued yardsticks to the back which I also painted with black chalk paint. Put them in mason jars filled with floral foam and then covered those in burlap with buffalo check ribbon. Wish I could upload a pic CB they came out great. Such a fun craft. Meghan is so inspiring. Yours look awesome!!!
rikki17 would love to see yours
rikki17 I wish that we could post pics in the comments. I don't think it's an option. At least I haven't figured out how anyway. Yours sound very cute.
Love these!! Thank you for sharing!!
Suuuuper cute! Great as a center piece!
Thank you! I have mine sitting on top of my TV wall unit. I don't have a mantle to put them on.
Like it I love it. You are so talented. Love dollar tree to.
I absolutely love this! I think I am going to try and make these.❤️
Good luck! I hope yours turn out just how you want them.
Super Nice ! Love how they look !
thank you!
Haven't seen the reindeer at my dollar tree
Very cute thanks for sharing
I went back to get more, but they were sold out. Happy hunting.
Beautiful!! I love your reindeer!!
These are lovely. They turned out Great. Tyfs.
Thank you. Be sure to check out Glue Guns Nad Roses too for their video.
Those reindeer turned out nice. I picked up one reindeer and the sleigh. might have to go back and get some more reindeer. Thanks for sharing 😀. Have a blessed day.
Yay! My Dollar Tree never got a sleigh. Not that I saw at least. I wanted to get more reindeer, but they're out of those right now too.
@@WhimsyWonderland Hopefully you will be able to find more reindeer and a sleigh.
I made 2 of these. Used an old flannel shirt and mod podge to cover. I sanded the glitter off ouside. Worked great. Also used 2 empty cans, floral foam and marbles.
A flannel shirt is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Omg. I have those. The gold and red one . Been seeing crafters doing these .Turn out nice. Now I know what to do with mines. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Mine
If your cover the deer in mod podge overnight the glitter scrapes right off
Love these so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! I love them too.
Really cute.
Thank you.
Love it, I have 2 deer and was planning to do something like this.
These were fun to make.
Very cute!
Thank you!
There is some beautiful wrapping paper that would be good for this project.
Yes, I used wrapping paper. You can find something to match any style.
They came out so cute thank you for sharing spray adhesive may make the job a little quicker I hope this tip helps
What a great idea, thank you so much for sharing 😃👌 xoxoNadia💋
You're welcome
Love these reindeer, especially done with the plaid. We live in a rural area with lots of deer & these would look so cute at the end of our driveway...would just need to waterproof everything because we've been getting so much rain am thinking might have to build an ark like Noah.
Also, need to check out the other channel you mentioned.
Merry Christmas.
Good luck with the waterproofing. I hope they turn out nicely.
Girl wasn't that alot of work. LOL.... Love the process.. Good job. TFS...
Getting the glitter off was a lot of work, but I think they turned out nicely. I wanted to get another set so that I could try to to decoupage over the glitter to see if it worked. Unfortunately, my Dollar Tree is out of stock.
I used a sanding block and my fingernail. I scrapped it off the HARD way. Glad to find you can soak them. I used a dollar tree putty knife, but that bench knife if great too.
Ouch!! That makes my fingers hurt just thinking about that.
I love that you showed the process of removing the glitter. The # 1 comment on my video was asking about removing the glitter. I didn't have an issue removing glitter on the sides, so I wonder if it was just the red glitter glue or Dollar Tree's inconsistency in products? Much love to you friend-Megan
Thank you! I was worried that I might offend you by making this video. I did mention you in it a few times and linked your video. I am fairly new to CZcams and am still learning the process. I love your channel. Thank you for taking the time to check out my video and to comment. I appreciate that.
@@WhimsyWonderland please girlfriend, I am not offended at all! Not only did you mention my video you linked the video as well ❤ A+ for CZcams etiquette my sweet friend!
@@GlueGunsRoses Thank you!
Hi I'm new to your channel. I really liked your reindeer figures! Thanks for showing another way to do the project. I love the wrapping paper idea! have a Merry Christmas!
I just made one and covered up the tree with a plaid dollar tree scarf. I did not scrape the glitter off. I also glued dollar tree rope all around the edges.
Great idea with the rope.
I used hot water dawn and a scrub daddy sponge the glitter came right off!
Glad to hear it. That was the most challenging part of the project.
I enjoyed your version as well as Glue Guns and Roses. I like how you explained all your steps.
I am planning to make one and put mine them in the bathtub. Most all the glitter came off.
I also subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to seeing your creations.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! And welcome to my channel. Will you use paper or fabric to cover yours?
@@WhimsyWonderland
I used red buffalo check material to make mine and put them in dt buckets and covered them in the same fabric. They are so cute.
Thanks for replying.
@@pollymurphy3977 That sounds cute. I wish we could post pics in the comments.
i love them...Can you tell me if the second coat of MP on them helped get rid of some of the air bubbles under the paper please. Thank you , great tutorial....pat
Yes, it did help. As I was putting it on, I kind of smooshed the bubbles flat. After it dried, I could barely see them.
You could make a sleigh out of foam board, that would be great
Donna King I could but things made from foam board just don’t hold up well.
You can still spray paint them if you want to and if you just wanted to do the top just lay down something to clover the bottom
Yep, spray paint would work. It would leave the glittered texture, but that's not always a bad thing.
Super cute!! I just subscribed ❤
Welcome to my channel
Dollar general has a wooden sleigh kit for 3.00. It's a nice size to
Good to know. Thanks for the tip.
Hi 12/2/22pm.. holy moly,not sure if ill attempt that reindeer again , getting the glitter off was a huge job, a lot longer than my usual diy s and a tad frustrating
Yeah, it took a lot of work.
Very cute - I subscribed
Thank you and welcome to my channel.
Nice
Thank you!
I want to make a few of these too and I have some buffalo check wrapping paper. I really don't want to scrap off the glitter on the antlers nor do I want to remove them. Do you think that if I put brown craft paper on first and then put my wrapping paper on top of that would work? Do you think that way you wouldn't get the bumps from the glitter? Thanks.
Sorry it took so long to reply. I've been dealing with some medical issues. I hope you haven't given up on me. I have been thinking about ways to skip the scraping process. The best way that I can think of is to cover the glitter with a coat or 2 of Mod Podge. This would help smooth out the surface. You can even sand lightly between the mod Podge coats to get it even smoother. Just be sure that it's completely dry first. I wish I could try it and experiment for you, but I only got the 3 deer and my Dollar Tree has not gotten any more back in. Good luck. Please let me know what you decide to do and how it turns out. Oh, about the craft paper idea, I'm not sure how that would work. That's adding one more layer of paper and therefore adding one more opportunity for bubbles to form in the paper. If it were me, I would not add kraft paper.
@@WhimsyWonderland I put three layers of Mod Podge on and let that dry overnight. I took a scraper and scraped off all of the glitter. The glitter came off in little sheets and it wasn't hard to do but it took a little bit of work. I used red/black buffalo check wrapping paper and Mod Podged that to the reindeer. I got wrinkles and air bubbles but it still looks good. Some of my edges tore a bit so I took black paint and painted around the edges and let some paint get on the paper so it looks a little distressed. I'm still working on it so I'm not done yet but so far I like the way it is turning out. Thanks for the Mod Podge idea, it worked.
@@mem2094 I am so glad that it worked for you! I never was able to find any more reindeer to experiment with.
👍🏼😊❤️
The gold glitter was easier than the red glitter
Love this but is it just me or ? I really don’t like the unfinished back! Trying to think of ways to make it looked finished! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I usually don't leave things this unfinished. But due to the time crunch I was under at the time, and no ideas on how to finish it quickly, I just let it go this tie. If I were selling them in my booth, I would probably Mod Podge paper to the back too.
Thanks my hubby suggested felt but I think paper would be easier!
@@leannel1381 yeah. I have Mod Podged felt before. It soaks up so much glue that it takes a very long time to dry. I would reccommend the Kraft paper from Dollar Tree. The kind that is brown and found in the packing/shipping section of Dollar Tree. It's heavier that wrapping paper and would probably have a better chance of not ripping as you cover the stick.
Yea, but, they make self adhesive felt squares. It may be a bunch of piecing, but, you know, pick your battles.
Metal finger nail file would work from DT
Yeah, I bet it would. I just didn't have one at the time. Thanks for the idea.
A lot of the steps that are self explanatory you can skip through, too much talking
I'm sorry about that. Some people are new to crafting. I try to explain everything as best I can so that everyone can be successful if they attempt it. Feel free to fast forward through the parts that you don't need an explanation for.
@@WhimsyWonderland I thought you explained very well and thoroughly~ I appreciated all your advice and sharing where you got your idea from! That was very thoughtful.
Sandra, I'm like you I and prefer a quick summary of a craft BUT that's not for everyone. I'm so glad Whimsy Wonderland made this video because in my video I got so many questions asking for more details on removing the glitter, the option of leaving the antlers on, how to use wrapping paper instead of fabric and a lot of other topics she covers in this video.
Whimsy Wonderland, thank you again for taking the time to give a detailed description on this DIY ❤ They look beautiful!
@@GlueGunsRoses Thank you! I am so glad that you aren't offended that I made this video. I figured if I wanted to try it with wrapping paper, there must be a few others out there that would want to try that too. Thank you for your beautiful inspiration!
@@sandieyule1644 Thank you!
Do you think I could leave the glitter on one side, my step child doesn’t want me to remove it. I don’t necessarily listen to her. What’s your thoughts. They look great with the pine cones.
I made one myself and covered it with a dollar tree scarf.
Great idea!
Cur
Spent too much time talking about which paper to use and the red dots/marks that got on her nerves.
Sorry. I have a lot of beginning crafters on my channel so I try to explain things completely.
Do you realise you’ve just added to the oceans sea life deaths? Not a good idea to wash glitter off, most glitters added to products are not biodegradable, so it gets washed out into the ocean!! It’s highly poisonous to sea life! The best thing to do is don’t buy items with glitter on them or just paint over the top of the glitter, it may not look all smooth and shiny, but you’ll have a clear conscience. You can also get information from local councils regarding glitter dumps!
Remember to always be mindful of what we can damage by our thoughtless actions...
Nice
Thank you!
