Unusual solution

If you have antlers in the house, you can make very unusual things out of them, which will perform both decorative and functional role in the interior.

The simplest and most common solution is to fix the antlers on the wall and use them as hangers.

There are also more original solutions for deer antlers. Showing a certain amount of imagination, you can make unusual lamps.

Bra and chandelier

To decorate an elegant wall lamp, you will need several bulbs with lampshades, a wire with a plug.

First of all, small lamps with lampshades are fixed on the "branches" of the horns. The wire should be led in such a way that it is not visible. By plugging in the electric plug, you will get absolutely unlike any of the store lighting fixtures.

Exactly the same way you can make a whole chandelier, though for this you will need not one, but several antlers.

Decorating the landscape

The owners of dacha plots care not only about getting vegetables and fruits on their "blood" acres, but also about decorating their estate. And what better way to decorate your garden or vegetable garden in the form of a noble deer?

Fantasy and availability of the necessary materials will help you to create something original, which will not pass by any guest of the dacha plot.
