The stump itself will be a leg of a fly agaric, but the hat must be made from a small old basin. To do this, it must be cleaned of dirt and dust and painted with red acrylic paint for garden figures.

When the cap dries, white acrylic paint beautiful neat spots on it. The garden mushroom is ready!

It can be displayed in a flower bed or "planted" under currant bushes.

Wooden mushroom

Another version of the garden mushroom made of wood:

• The stem will also be from a stump, but already longer (a column of 30-40 cm is sawed off from the log).
• It is dug into the ground, and moss and leaves are placed around it.
• Now it is necessary to make a hat. For this role will do old basket without handles or straw Vietnamese panama. Or you can make it out of twigs.
• From any flexible and long branches "twist" a large bird's nest.
• In the process of work they fasten branches with jute threads.

Finished nest inverted and put on a stump - the mushroom is ready!

Using pebbles

They make unusual mushrooms from sea rocks. On pebbles they make drawings of Podberezovikov, Podosinovikov, fly agariches with acrylic paints. They add details: the structure of the fibrous stem, a glossy sheen on the cap, a crawling bug and grass at the bottom. The image is varnished.

From pebbles and stable boulders make white mushrooms. To do this, select stones with similar shapes. The wider stone is painted with white paint and varnished. The second stone is brown. He should be more flat. Varnish also. Leave to dry for some time.

The foot is placed on a stable surface (earth, sand, small pebbles). Drop hot glue on it and lay a flat stone. Stones are selected so that they are stable and without glue.

Mushroom from artificial materials

From improvised means and construction materials, colorful mushrooms are mastered. Handicrafts can look very realistic or fabulous and fantastically beautiful. Such a decor will be the center of the garden plot, and children will be happy to play near it and take pictures.

• wallpaper glue;
• A plastic bottle of 1.5 liters;
• building foam (in cans or professional);
• acrylic paint with tint (brown, yellow, beige);

1. On the floor or on the ground, lay newspapers.
2. Foam is applied to the plastic bottle in layers.
3. The stalk of a large mushroom gradually emerges. It is left to dry.
4. Next create a hat by squeezing out the foam and applying it to the newspaper in circular motions. At first, it will not look very much like a mushroom head, but after the foam hardens, using a knife, the shape will be adjusted.
5. From the resulting shapes, use a stationery knife to hone the desired shapes.
6. Use three nails to fix the hat and the leg together. You can add hot glue for better fixation.
7. Diluted wallpaper glue is applied to the homemade item. It is needed for a good adhesion of polyurethane with plaster mixture.
8. Dilute the plaster and distribute with a spatula over the parts.
9. The dried undercoat is sanded with sandpaper and coated with primer.
