In the south, after a palm leaf drops down it has to be trimmed.
After the trimmed branches die, they fall to the ground and look like this.
To make a "Trophy Mount".
You need:
1 dried palm
2 jiggly eyes
1 black pom pom
ribbon to hang
glue gun
Pick your palm, wipe it down.
With a glue gun, glue on jiggly eyes and a black pom pom for the nose.
Then flip it over to glue on a looped ribbon to hang on the wall.
I hung him outside. He's so cute.
* If you want a girl trophy mount, you just glue on a bow.
HAPPY CRAFTING!
Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and I can't stop following you. This dried palm is very good for home decoration. I sometimes picked a few when I passed by the tree. Great idea to make it such fun and nice wall decoration.

Too cute! Sure hope your boyfriend doesn't get hurt while hunting. It can be a bit dangerous you know. And you never know what you might find. Maybe, cookie crumbs in bed. At least that's what my hubby would find. He loves cookies! What a clever idea. I have a new link party, Share Your Cup Thursday. You should hop over and share this. I am now following you.
