Make a mushroom wreath with moss for Spring. You can customize the mushroom colors to your preferences.
This is a 2 step process. First we make the mushrooms and then we assemble the wreath.
Mushroom Supplies
- DAS Air Dry Clay – E6000 – 220 grit sandpaper – Craft paints in any colors you choose. – Craft paint brushes – A few Q-tips – Mod Podge, matte clear finish – Painters tape
Wreath Supplies
- Straw wreath form - Scissors -Hot glue gun & glue sticks -Natural Easter grass -Reindeer moss
Assemble Mushrooms
Wait 24 hours for the glue to dry. Use tape to hold the stems in place.
Glue the dried clay stems on to the mushroom caps.
Paint the Mushrooms
Use craft paint to paint the mushrooms . Put them in the oven at 185 degrees for 15 minutes to accelerate drying time.
Esch mushroom will require 2-3 coats of paint.
Paint the Mushrooms
Use a Q Tip to put dots on the mushroom caps.
You can paint dots on the mushroom caps if you have a steady hand.
Seal the Clay Mushrooms
Seal the mushrooms with a clear coat - I used Mod Podge. This is important if your wreath will be hung up outside.
Assemble the Wreath
Use scissors to make a 1 inch hole in the straw. Use hot glue to secure your mushrooms in the holes.
Assemble the Wreath
Hot glue natural grass and reindeer moss to the wreath form, around the mushrooms.
Use twine to hang up your wreath!
