make it yourself

Mushroom decor is everywhere this Spring. Why don't you make your own and save $$. For this project I'm using ceramic mushrooms from Hobby Lobby.
I have 3 mushrooms and I painted 2 with brown chalk paint and one was painted green.
Paint the entire mushroom. Tip: to dry the paint quickly use a hair dryer!
What to do:
02
Once the paint is completely dry it is time to add moss to the mushroom caps. I used Mod Podge & a sponge-tipped brush.
Use preserved moss for this project. Break the chunks into smaller workable pieces.
What to do:
03
Brush the Mod Podge over the mushroom cap and adhere the moss to it.
04
Once I covered the mushroom with moss I used the palm of my hand to push it down.
Then it was time for a haircut! I trimmed the excess moss from the top and sides of the mushroom.
05
Time to decorate!
I made a small display with the 3 moss mushrooms on a tray with Spanish moss and a few flower sprigs.
