Painted Mushrooms for Spring

 Here is a super easy mushroom project made from Target Dollar Spot finds. 


Truth be told, I'm just giving the mushrooms a little makeover today. 


I needed these cuties to match my house so I'm repainting them to add to my mushroom collection centerpiece. 


Take a look...

It all began with this cute little mushroom garden I made recently

I really love making mushrooms for some reason. They remind me of an early Spring day.

Today I'm starting with these cute mushrooms that just needed a quick makeover, they were just not the right colors for me.

I'm using Fusion Mineral Paint in Raw Silk and Bayberry. The Raw Silk color reminds me so much of a mushroom color with it's grey undertones.

I gave the mushrooms a quick coat of the white-ish paint leaving the original stem color because it works!

I painted 2 of the mushrooms in the Raw Silk and one in the Bayberry green. They needed about 2 coats.

When the paint dried I used the back of a pencil eraser to dab on dots in the contrasting color.

That is about all I needed to do to transform these cute mushrooms into mushrooms that match my decor.

These wooden mushrooms have been around for a while. I am not sure what their original use was.
