When I found this ornament at the dollar store, I knew it had crafty potential. Especially when I realized that the deer was attached to the wreath with a simple wire twist.
I set the deer aside for a future project, leaving me with a wreath of copper glitter antlers. The antler shapes begged for a nature theme but I wanted to be something offbeat. And since I've been a bit fascinated with opossums lately (there's definitely an opossum sock puppet in my future) it was the perfect fit. I made one larger mama opossum and five babies out of pompoms and pipecleaners with some glass beads for the mama's eyes. To make the wreath a bit more festive I added some tinsel pompoms.
