Wire cutters

Air dry clay

Strong wall fixers

Fine grit sand paper
Step 1
Aluminum wire is light and really easy to shape. You can use your hands to create an antler shape with several horns coming off it simply using your fingers.
Step 2
Once one side is shaped, use it as a guide for making the other side.
Step 3
Wrap the two ends together and cut off the excess.
Step 4
Begin to press pieces of clay onto both sides of the frame. Build it up to cover all of the wire.
Step 5
Once the frame is completely covered, smooth the clay using water and your fingers. Try to smooth out any cracks and creases. Make sure there is a flat surface at the back of the antler around the middle to make it easier to hang later.
Step 6
Leave to dry and harden for at least 48 hours. When the clay has gone from light grey to white all over, it's ready. Sand out any imperfections with fine grit sand paper.
Apply strong sticky fixers to the flat area on the back of the antlers and press onto the wall.
