Deer Head and Music Sheet Tassel

Deer Head and Music Sheet Tassel

Felt Deer Head: Download our template, then trace crest portion of the template onto a cork coaster (99 cents for four; ikea.com) and cut out. Trace head portion of template onto felt and cut out. Repeat with cardboard, then trim so it's slightly smaller than the felt. Hot-glue felt to cardboard, then glue cardboard to cork crest. Paint thin sticks white (or leave brown) and hot-glue between the felt and cardboard layers. Glue a loop of twine at back to hang.
Music Sheet Tassel: Cut a two-sided page of sheet music featuring a favorite holiday carol into ¼" strips. (You can also print your own.) Next, glue a ¾" wooden bead to the end of a wine cork (this will help create dome shape at top of tassel). Bend strips over the bead and cinch around the cork with a rubber band. Cover exposed rubber band with a spare strip. Curl ends of paper around fingertip to fan. Loop string through strips at top to hang.
