DIY Mushroom Decor using Dollar Tree supplies

Hello Sweet Friends,
Today’s craft idea is such a fun little project; at least I think that it is and I hope you will too. I will be showing you how to create colorful mushroom decor using supplies from Dollar Tree. The finished decor pieces are perfect for summer decor and so darn CUTE!

Creating sweet little decor like these mushrooms for your home doesn’t have to break the bank, especially if you can make it yourself from items from Dollar Tree. So follow along and see just how easy and budget-friendly it is to make DIY mushroom decor.

Supply list

DT mini cordial glasses (6 pc)
DT mini round bowls (6 pc)
white acrylic paint
red acrylic paint
paint brush
glue gun
E600 glue
Optional items: container, foam, foliage, other embellishment

So, to begin this project, remove the glasses and bowls from the packaging and place them on a drop cloth or newspaper. Paint the cordial glasses (mushroom stems) with white paint. Then you will paint the bowls (mushroom tops with red paint. For good coverage, it took three coats with dry time in between.

I used Apple Barrel paint from Walmart, but it probably would have been quicker and easier to use spray paint. But once I had started, I was committed so I kept going.

This is what they looked like after one coat, so you can probably see why the spray paint may have worked better.

After the three coats of paint had dried, I painted white spots onto the mushroom tops. The spots were all different sizes by the time I finished, but I thought they were looking pretty good.

Once the paint had dried, it was time to assemble the mushrooms. Using a combination of hot glue and E6000, I added the spotted mushroom tops to the stems.

And, oh my gosh, look how cute they turned out! How ADORABLE are these little fun guys?! (ha ha, see what I did there?)

And another group photo just because they’re so darn cute.

Let’s Style our Mushroom Decor

At this time, the mushrooms were finished, but I couldn’t stop there. I had to embellish, arrange, and display them in different ways. LOOK how cute they look in a pot with a few embellishments. The mini clay pots are are also from Dollar Tree, painted white. I added a small piece of floral foam and some foliage. The final touch was a small bumble bee.
