A little extra work

Hello, we had the same problem with our first. Skull plate had been cut to small. Then son broke it in half. We had to screw our pieces to a block of wood and screw the wood to form. It took a little adjusting of the antlers and screws with it being on the wall to get them just right. After you apply paper mache you will never see any of it. Good luck!

If they don't line up put some saran wrap on form and set in bondo
and position them where you want, let bondo kick and take off wrap
and there you go! place back on form and screw into place and blend
skull plate with clay. good luck
