Make a nutty deer

A NUTTY Le Deer

Created by Heather Masson

Here’s a lovely little project that the whole family can enjoy. It’s sweet, it’s cute and it’s so easy to make. You can either leave your “little deer” natural or paint it.

WHAT YOU NEED:

Nuts - 3 nuts make 1 deer (I used chestnuts) / Glue / Stick / Twigs / Paint if required

1Insert a stick into the 3 chestnuts connecting each nut.

TIP:

If using harder nuts, glue stick and twigs directly onto the nut.

3Insert the twigs into the “head” of the nut, this will create the antlers.
