Hey guys!!! I promised a tutorial on how to make the woodland animal heads that I shared in my post about my booth decorated for fall.
 It has taken me long enough, but I was finally able to put one together for you today!!! Yay!

For this project you will need:
* Wood plaque to mount your animal head
* Piece of scrap wood
* Printed image of animal silhouette
* Graphite paper
* Scroll saw
* Sandpaper
* Screws
* Paint or stain I found these plaques at thrift stores, but I believe I have seen the unfinished one below at craft stores like Michael's.  ?
Once you have your plagues, find a piece of scrap wood in the thickness you want the animal head.

I found a silhouette of a moose head and deer heads online and printed them. You will also need a piece of graphite paper to trace your image.
With the graphite paper underneath your image, trace with a pen or pencil.....

So that you're left with your animal head transferred onto your piece of scrap wood.

Nate used his scroll saw to cut it out for me. If you do not have a scroll saw, some other type of hand saw may work with a design that's not quite so intricate.  

I gave everything a good sanding to smooth out all the rough edges.

After I determined where I wanted the heads placed on the plaque, we attached the two together by screwing through the back of the plaque.

The final step is to paint or stain in the color of your choice! Make sure to use a small artist's ...
