Here is an easy to make Mossy Mushroom Wreath! It’s a fun and inexpensive way to bring a feeling of a magical forest into your home.
Read on to discover how to make this adorable wreath for yourself.
Supplies Needed:
(Links are to Amazon)
- A hot glue gun
- Moss (fake or dried real moss)
- Pliers
- Tweezers
- Wooden mushrooms
- Red and white acrylic paints
- Chain with jump rings
- Craft wire
- A twig wreath (we bought a 10 inch standing wreath on clearance at Michael’s, but they have twig wreaths on Amazon as well!)
- Scissors
- Crystals (these, the chain, and the wire were all leftovers from our suncatcher project!)
- Paintbrushes
- Paper shopping bag (optional)
Step One:
Take your wooden mushrooms, paintbrushes, and your red and white paints.
We laid out a paper shopping bag to keep from getting paint on the table, but you can also simply paint on a surface that you don’t mind getting paint on.
I decided that I liked the look of the stems unpainted, as the wood color was a nice contrast to the red. This made it easier to paint the mushrooms, because I could simply hold them by their stems while I painted the tops.
Take your paintbrush and red paint and paint one coat of red onto the tops of your mushrooms, then set them aside to dry for five minutes.
After 5 minutes have passed, paint a second coat of red and let them dry again.
Step Two:
Once the red paint has dried, take the end of one of your paintbrushes and dip it in your white paint. This will be used to create large white dots on your mushroom tops.
You can use the tip of a smaller brush to make small white dots.
Set these aside to dry.
