What You’ll Need:

  • Seedling Carton (for the mushroom caps)

  • Paint (red, white, brown – go wild!)

  • Little Hooks (for hanging, if you’re fancy)

  • Sticks (nature’s perfect stems) and/or Cinnamon Sticks (for rustic charm)

  • Moss (because forest vibes)

  • Glue Gun (to hold it all together)

  • String (for hanging)

Step 1: Cut Out Mushroom Caps

They don’t have to be perfect – mushrooms are quirky, and so are you!

Step 2: Paint Your Mushrooms

Paint your mushroom caps any color you like (classic red and white, or go earthy with browns and greens).

Step 3: Attach a Hook or String

Grab a little hook and screw it into the top of the mushroom, add string for a simple hanging loop. Now your mushrooms are ready to float through your magical forest (aka, your living room).

Step 4: Make the Stems

Use sticks or cinnamon sticks to create the stems. Glue them right in the center of your mushroom caps.

Step 5: Add Moss

Glue a bit of moss around the base of your mushroom or on top for that enchanted woodland look. The more moss, the merrier!

Step 6: Hang & Display

Hang your mushrooms from branches, shelves, or windowsills. Create your own little mushroom forest at home!
