Supplies

• Mushrooms (Mine are from Hobby Lobby)
• Paint
• Mod Podge
• Preserved Moss

I found the ceramic mushrooms that I am using at Hobby Lobby in the Spring section. They were on sale and around $2 each. Dollar Tree also has cute ceramic mushrooms (garden section) that are already painted that you could use for this project too.

Paint the Mushrooms

There are 3 ceramic mushrooms and I painted 2 of them with brown chalk paint and one with green acrylic paint. The chalk paint did a better job of coating the ceramic mushrooms and I would recommend it over using acrylic paint.

My little trick for speeding this project up is to use a hair dryer to dry the paint quickly. It only takes a couple of minutes!

Adding Moss to the Mushrooms

To adhere the moss to the top of the mushrooms I am going to use Mod Podge applied with a sponge tip applicator.

The preserved moss was in big chunks so I broke the pieces up with my fingers to make it easier to work with and apply.

The next step is to brush the Mod Podge over the mushroom cap,

I am only going to cover the top of the mushroom with moss but you could cover the entire thing if you wanted to.

Once I had the mushroom covered with the moss I used the palm of my hand to press it down to secure it better and form it into the mushroom shape.

Then the mushroom needed a little bit of a haircut! First I trimmed around the base of the mushroom cap to even off the moss.

Then I trimmed the moss that looked too puffy on the mushroom cap.

Once I had the 3 mushrooms covered with the moss it was time to decorate with them for Spring.

I took the 3 moss mushrooms and arranged them on a small cement tray with a small amount of Spanish moss and a few sprigs of baby’s breath.
