Hobbies And Interests
Furniture
No matter how large your reindeer antlers are, you might be able to fashion them into a furniture design. You can create a table with a large set of antlers by using them as the base of the design. Curved sections of antlers can adorn the backing of a chair. Or secure the antlers to a wall to use them as a coat rack. Lamp holders and chandlers are a few other furniture options to make with reindeer antlers.
Decoration
Reindeer antlers can by used as decorations when set in the right area. Take the antlers to a taxidermist and have them mounted into a trophy. You can hang this display above your fireplace or dining table to create a centerpiece of the room. Bring the antlers outside and place them in the yard for a one-of-a-kind lawn ornament. During Christmas, adorn these outdoor decorations by winding them with twinkle lights.
Art
Use the natural beauty of reindeer antlers to create one-of-a-kind art pieces. Cut apart sections of the antlers to create patterns on the wall or build small sculptures. Make a mixed media work of art by using other materials, such as paint, ribbon, beads or clay, to decorate the antlers. Carve your antlers into various shapes or designs, too. Using a thick part of the antler, whittle away pieces to create a miniature reindeer or other object.
Education
Teach others about reindeer with your reindeer antlers. Take the set to schools to use as a prop while you explain to children that reindeer are a type of deer and that both male and female reindeer grow antlers. Let the children carefully touch the antlers, too, to get an up-close look at part of this impressive animal. You can also donate your reindeer antlers to a museum, where they might be used in a display to teach others about the deer.
