If you’re looking for an unusual decoration for your home and also enjoy crafting, Liebesreh Papercraft is the place for you. The geometric works of art made from paper not only look great, but you can also assemble them yourself at home.
We have tested how this works for you with the “hunting trophy”.

Packaging, contents and instructions

The craft kit comes in a simple envelope, which doesn’t give the first impression of anything great. The magic is created here. 😉
Inside are several sheets of cardboard with the individual parts printed on them and detailed instructions with detailed illustrations. And that’s a good thing, otherwise the assembly would be quite complicated.

Preparation

You will need craft glue (or superglue) and something to cut out the individual parts. You can do this with scissors or a knife. We opted for the scissors.

It can be helpful to pre-sort the parts after cutting them out. They are all extensively numbered and the sides even show which parts are glued together with which at the end. It is also noted in which direction the individual pieces should be folded – mountain or valley fold. You should stick to this and fold the pieces correctly.
If you don’t feel confident yet, you can try out the test object provided, a small paper diamond, before starting the actual project. That’s what we did.

The work process

Now the real fun can begin. Start with part 1, which forms the bridge of the nose and a considerable part of the stag’s head. Parts 2 and 3 are then glued to this on the right and left. Part 4 is glued to the underside of the snout. This lays the foundation.

Proceed as described in the instructions with the other parts. The stag’s head is built up piece by piece. We recommend that you really follow the manufacturer’s instructions so that nothing goes wrong. Once glued, it is not so easy to change anything.

The antler parts are then a little tricky – here it is an advantage to work with a second person who can hold the antlers while you attach them to the stag’s head.
Last but not least, a final piece is added to the back of the head to provide stability and also serve as a suspension for the wall. We were skeptical at first because our deer was still a little wobbly, but this last piece actually made a big difference.
Once the glue has dried, you can hang the finished head. Or you can do as we did and let off steam artistically. Our stag was finally decorated with black spray paint and marble effect paint.

Conclusion

This set is definitely a treat for craft enthusiasts, as the extensive assembly and many parts will keep you busy for quite a while. Understandably, this project should not be given to small children, but we can definitely imagine it as a gift idea for older children and teenagers. And the end result is something to be proud of: an unusual decoration idea that will spice up the home ambience in a modern way!
