To give this deer an extra splash of character, I’ll show you how to make antlers from twigs! Maybe you’ll choose a cutting from a sentimental tree in your hometown, or a twig from your child's kindergarten for a graduation gift as they go off to grade school… The size and type of twigs you choose are up to you!
