DIY Moss Mushrooms

Ingredients

  • 1 Styrofoam cone 6-8" tall
  • 1 Styrofoam ball 6" cut in half
  • 1 Bag of green sheet moss
  • 1 Bag of assorted mosses with lichen
  • 1 Glue Gun
  • 1 Glue sticks
  • 1 Sissors

Instructions

  • First, I cut off approx. 2″ from the bottom of a few cones to give a variety of heights to my garden of mushrooms.
  • Add a bit of foil around the top part of the cone if you do not want the top of the stem to be too skinny. I only did this on two of my mushrooms.
  • You can use sheet moss that is man-made, or I prefer to use natural sheet moss that comes in pieces in a bag. This moss is peeled right off of the trees.
  • Hot glue the moss onto the cone to cover the mushroom’s stem.
  • Cut a piece of sheet moss the same size as the bottom of the mushroom cap.
  • Cut a hole in the center so the cone can be glued to the top part of the cap.
  • Using a dab of glue (hot glue), attach the mushroom cap to the stem.
  • Hot glue moss onto the entire cap of the mushroom.
  • Add some lichen for an added touch of character to your mushroom cap.
