How to Make Mushroom Decor for your Garden

It’s almost Spring time so I’m getting our backyard ready and already thinking about my plans for the garden.

A while back I painted stones to look like mushrooms and I was obsessed! They are the perfect addition to a fairy garden or to add a touch of whimsy to your outdoor space.

I also love the pop of color they add to a naturally green space.

Terra cotta pots are so versatile and today’s project is no different. This is just one of my easy clay pot crafts that I’m excited to share with you today.

Grab the supplies below and then follow our step-by-step instructions to make this adorable mushroom decor for your backyard.

Supplies needed:

• Clay pot
• Clay pot saucer
• Outdoor paint (my favorite is Americana Decor Outdoor Living)
• Paint brush
• Round sponge brush
• Adhesive that is okay for outdoor use (my favorite is DAP Rapid Fuse)

How to make this mushroom decor for your garden:

1. Start by painting the clay pot in white then paint the saucer in the color of your choice. I chose red for this project. This will take approximately two coats of paint. Allow the paint to dry in between coats. You also will want to paint the bottom and top of the saucer since the bottom will be visible.
2. Once the paint is completely dry, you can add your white dots to the saucer. For this, just use your round sponge brush to apply the paint in a circle. Repeat randomly for as many circles as you would like. You will have to use multiple coats of paint on these as well.
3. Then allow your paint to dry completely.
4. Add adhesive in between the pot and saucer, stack with books or heavy objects, and then allow to set up.
5. Once cured, your mushroom decor is ready for your garden! Look how cute it is!

This cute little mushroom decor is perfect for anywhere you need a little color in your yard. If you want, you can choose a different paint color for the mushroom top. Another fun idea might be making multiple mushrooms and then painting them in every color of the rainbow! Oh so cute and oh so easy.

 I love my mushroom decor. I’m adding this to our backyard for a touch of whimsy!
