So I studied the picture and thought, I bet I could make those...
Here's the tutorial on how to get your own Clyde and Dale.
I bought 3 different size dowels, 1/4", 3/16", and 1/8"
The measurements are in the picture above.
Using the five 4" pieces I hot glued them together to make the body. (I tried using wood glue, but it didn't hold as well as the hot glue. I recommend high temp hot glue for this project.)
Then I took the one 2.5" piece and made the neck. Using the 3/16" dowel I glued on a small piece for the tail and a 2" piece for the head.
I added two 1.5" pieces for the antler holders
Then out of the 1/8" dowel, I created the points to the antlers.
Next I spray painted the deer with Pewter color 'hammered' texture spray paint.
I decided one deer wasn't enough so I created a smaller scale one to be his friend.
Finally, Clyde and Dale are ready for their appearance among the Christmas decorations.
I think they like their new home.
And I think they look pretty similar to the metal ones too!
All this for $1.77!
Oh - by the way... I've linked this to the following parties!
