As soon as I spotted the sweet polka dotted deer over at Torie Jayne, I was completely smitten. As you know, I love to incorporate a bit of Japanese Washi Tape into my projects, and loved the idea of covering a wooden deer silhouette with washi tape to match our 2011 Christmas colour scheme of Red and Aqua. Unfortunately Panduro Hobby don’t export to Australia unless you have a order over 1200 SEK. Not to be deterred, I remembered a white painted deer that I have in my Christmas decorations (purchased from Adairs a few Chrsitmas’ ago).
Some red and white polka dotted washi tape, some aqua ribbon, and a glittered aqua bell, and the deer ornament has a new lease of life! The best thing about the project is the washi tape should peel off without damaging the paint so I can redecorate it next year to fit the theme.
a great project! Thanks for the link to Etsy, its difficult to find here in England.
oh my that is gorgeous,very pretty Lisa
Ok what is Washi tape?

Nice copying of someone else’s work – I think that’s called plagerism
Hi Theresa – sorry you are a no reply blogger – I am often inspired by others work. You will note in my opening sentence I linked to Torie Jaynes lovely deer project and attributed my inspiration to her. I also thanked her on her post and let her know I had linked to her.
If you check the definition of plagerism- you will note that it is when you pass off someone else’s work as your own – this I have not done.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Don’t you just love how you can see something out there in bloggy land and send all that love back out into the world by adding a bit of your own idea and inspiration based on what you have on hand into your own home? Love the original and love yours as well.. what a nice tribute to the power of arts and crafts to bring us together as opposed to divide us.
Holiday Cheer my Deer/Dear!

Adorable!
Fabulous idea, Lisa – love it! Particularly love the redecorating possibilities, as I love to change up my colour scheme each Christmas. This is a must-do!
So very cute!
