Deer heads make for beautiful and unique home decor and mounting one at home is not as difficult as you might think! With a few basic supplies and a bit of patience you can create a stunning display that will be the talk of your guests.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– A deer head
– A sturdy mounting bracket
– Heavy-duty screws
– Drywall anchors (optional)
– Wire
– A drill
– A saw
First you’ll need to find a suitable location for your deer head. It’s important to consider the weight of the head when choosing a spot as you’ll need to be able to securely mount it to the wall. Once you’ve found the perfect spot use a drill to create pilot holes for your screws. If you’re worried about the weight of the head causing the screws to pull out of the drywall you can use drywall anchors to provide extra support.
Next it’s time to attach the mounting bracket to the back of the deer head. Be sure to use heavy-duty screws or bolts as regular screws may not be able to support the weight of the head. Once the bracket is in place use wire to secure the head to the bracket. Make sure the wire is tight so the head doesn’t wobble or move around.
Now it’s time to hang your deer head on the wall! Using the pilot holes you created earlier screw the bracket directly into the wall. And that’s it! You’ve now successfully mounted a deer head in your home.
Not only is this a fun and unique project but it’s also a great way to add a touch of rustic charm to your home décor. So what are you waiting for? Gather your supplies and get started today!
