Creative ways to show off your shed antlers...
I have a few sheds that lay in random spots around my apartment. It bothers me they just kinda lay on shelves already piled up with other junk. I would really like to display them in a creative way, but Im not very good at decorating. Any beast members here display their shed collection with a neat twist? I need ideas.

I've drilled through a few and glued them together with dowels to make candle holders.. could do a lamp but not sure how to run the wire through without being so obvious. don't know how to upload pics sorry.

A guy here in town puts them in the back window of his car... I certainly would not recommend that... I keep thinking he is going to go out to his car one day and the window is going to be smashed and the antlers missing.

I made a plaque that uses a shed as the base. I had to trim the shed a bit to make it level. My favorite spot to display the latest euro mount. You can put any euro on it, it's not fixed to the plaque.

A neat display I have seen is a eye hook screwed into the ceiling with a length of chain hanging down to the floor.... then sheds zip tied to it all the way to the ceiling. This takes a ton of sheds to pull off but looks really neat IMO

I have a bunch on some chain hung stained glass light fixtures. The sheds just hang on the chain like Bucky said. I'll have to get a pic of that......but then I'm going to have to do some dusting ,lol.

Re: Creative ways to show off your shed antlers...
I personally like to see each individual shed. I have a bunch on a mantle and each year I hang the season's finds in my office at the farm. One day I plan to have them all up on display in a designated area, probably similar to the way I have them in my office. For me, every shed has a story. I'm one of those guys that can't bear to part with one or cut, drill, glue, or screw any of them either. I will admit that antler is an interesting material to work with. I made a ring out of antler and proposed to my girlfriend with it. She is no longer my girlfriend.

A guy in my town did the same thing but kept it on the front dashboard of his truck. Someone went to his farm at night and stole it.
All that for a shed?

Re: Creative ways to show off your shed antlers...
At one time I had a bunch of sheds kind of placed together on a bookshelf and when I'd find more I would rearrange them. It looked kind of neat.
But now I have little kids that MUST touch everything and it became a mess. I'd like to do something creative to do with them because I do enjoy looking at antlers. I've thought about making a chandelier but I haven't gotten ambitious enough.

I would be concerned with the damage they would do if your ever in an accident and they come flying at you.
