I found these shed deer antlers in my parents driveway when I went over to visit and was so excited to finally find some after 30+ years of looking for them.  They live out in the country with plenty of deer running through the yard, but no antlers have ever been shed where I could find them.

I brought them home and debated on what to do with them, but finally settled on making a jewelry organizer.  And if I get sick of them holding my jewelry, I'll set them on a table by the front door and they can hold keys and other misc things.

What you will need:

some shed deer antlers
pieces of wood (stained or painted if you wish)
screw(s)

Start by making sure the antlers are cleaned.  I let mine sit in a bucket of bleach water for a bit to make sure all yuck stuff was off of it.  Then you will want to make sure that the bottom of the antlers has a smooth edge so that it will nicely attach to a piece of wood.  I used a hacksaw and just trimmed it to be more flat and even. 




Next take your piece of wood and predrill a hole where you plan to attach your antlers.  I attached mine to a corner of the board so that the antlers would be centered over the board.  Then predrill a hole (or holes) into your antlers as well.  I had planned to drill in 2 screws, but after putting in the first screw the antlers were very secure to the board so I didn't need to add another screw.



Then screw your antlers to your wood and you're all set to go!
