Follow our simple steps below to create this unique red and white mushroom character within minutes!
Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate
- Small Paper Plate
- Paint Brush
- Clothespin
- Medium Sized Craft Pom Pom
- Red Craft Paint
- White Craft Paint
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- White Cardstock Paper
- Green Cardstock Paper
- School Glue
- Craft Scissors
Directions:
- First cut your LARGE paper plate in half. Straight up the center to make TWO equal pieces.
- You can either make TWO mushrooms at once or set one half aside for another day.
- Next grab your red craft paint and squirt some in the center of one of your paper plate halves.
- Use your paint brush to move the paint around until the plate is completely covered.
- Now grab your clothespin, pom pom and white craft paint.
- On your SMALL paper plate squirt a small amount of paint.
- Take the pom pom and “pinch” it in between the clothespin.
- Use your newly made “paint brush” to add a few white polka dots on the painted paper plate half.
- When done, set it aside to let it dry a bit.
- Now grab your sheets of various cardstock paper {white, green and brown.}
- Use scissors to cut out a medium sized oval nose from the brown.
- For the stem of the mushroom, cut out a 3″x5″ inch rectangle from the white.
- Do the same out of the green but cut along one edge for the “grass.”
- To finish off the Mushroom Gnome craft, you will want to glue the cardstock paper pieces in their designated spots on the painted paper plate half. I suggest with starting with the white paper piece first, then the green grass and finally the nose.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit.
- Then display proudly for all to see! #gluedtomycrafts
