After spray ikon him a glossy white, I had to add together a piddling sparkle.  I brushed on a sparse coat of Elmer's schoolhouse glue, in addition to sprinkled roughly gilt glitter on the antlers.

Then,  I determined the angle I wanted in addition to used a sturdy, abrupt paring knife to cutting his caput off.  Sorry- I couldn't figure out a means to saccharide coat that sentence! :)
