Clay Pot Mushroom Decor

This fun clay pot mushroom is the perfect craft for Summer. They're simple, fun and fast to create. They make great gifts for family, friends, teachers or to keep! And you can make all different sizes too depending on where you want to display it.

What You Will Need:(most can be found at the Dollar Store or other discounted stores)

  • Clay pot
  • Clay pot saucer
  • Outdoor paint 
  • Paint brushes
  • Round sponge brush
  • Glue that is okay for outdoor use

Instructions:

  1. Start by painting the clay pot in white then paint the saucer in the color of your choice. This will take approximately two coats of paint. Allow to dry in between coats. You also will want to paint the bottom and top of the saucer as the bottom will be visible.
  2. Once dry, you can add dots to the saucer. Use the 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 the glue is dry, your mushroom decor is ready for your garden, deck, windowsill or where ever you want to display it!
