There's an excellent mushroom DIY by Emma of ystreetstudio over on Instagram, and as soon as my Craft Night crew saw it, they put in requests to make our own. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emma (@ystreetstudio) So good, right? And a fairly simply process, so of course I was onboard. That is, until John and I went to JoAnns and saw the price of those large Styrofoam balls. o.0 Aw HECK no. Even with one ball making two 'shrooms, this drives the material cost up to about $15 each! If you're a lone crafter that might be doable, but our Craft Night averages 4 to 6 people, so... nuh-uh. (Smaller foam balls cost less, of course, but I wanted nice chonky 'shrooms like Emma's.) (Also "Chonky 'Shrooms" is my new favorite phrase. It's so fun to say! Seriously, try it.) (See?) So off to Dollar Tree we went, because I was determined to DIY these fun guys on a DT budget. It took a few days and some trial and error, but y'all, we did it. Behold mah big mushy babies! Hang on, that's not the best photo - it's more for size reference. Here are some better angles: My fairy ring is a-growing. I love the pleated undersides: Though you have to get real low to see the yellow one's: I made each one a little different, so you can see a variety of styles and heights. My total cost per 'shroom was about $4, and could be even less, depending on what's in your craft stash. (I had the white velvet, so we only needed to buy the base pieces & top fabric.) These are great for group crafts, or for amassing your own magical mushy forest. Ready to see how? Excellent. ROLL THE TAPE, JOHN! Ta-daaaaa. Here are some handy templates for ya: Right-click each to embiggen, then save to your desktop. Now a quick PSA: don't use puff paint for the dots. I bought and tested two different brands - including the Tulip one in the inspiration video - and both dried with a lumpy texture and VERY shiny. Plain white craft paint, on the other hand, dried perfectly smooth and slightly domed, in a more matte finish: Puff paint versus craft paint If your craft paint is too thin let it thicken slightly on a plate before you goop it on, so it won't run. Since you probably already have white craft paint, that's one less thing to buy. In the video I showed you how to make a contrasting white under-frill, like this: (Technically called gills, but I like "under frills.") However, you can save a step if you want the underside to match the top. Just make the top fabric circle a little bigger, and draw-string it closed like this: (I just realized this angle in this color is a little... er... you know what, never mind. MOVING ON.) That's the underside of my friend Arielle's 'shroom, which turned out like this: (@Rasldazl) So pretty! I like her bigger spots, too. This drawstring method is a little more fidgety, since you're depending on thread instead of glue to stretch the fabric taut across the top. It saves you making the separate cardboard piece, though, so your call. I dry-brushed some white paint on the underside of my pleats to give them a little contrast, that's another option for you: I also left the stem ruffle off, made this one shorter, and skipped the aging for a cuter, more classic toadstool look. I like both styles, really. How about you? Which do you like better? I left the spots off the pink one, both so you can see one plain and because I'm tired of painting random dots, heh. I struggle SO HARD with "random" placement, y'all; I overthink it, it takes forever, and, and... Pretty much. Now let's see a couple more variations, because my friends are stinkin' creative and I think you'll love these. :D Karen cut her bowl & stem in half lengthwise to make two flat mushrooms for this incredible wall display: We broke out my box o' butterflies for the finishing touches, and I love this SO MUCH, I can't even. Just...gah. So magical. (Would also be great for wreaths!) Bianca skipped the velvet top and went with FUR from our fabric stash instead, which was hilarious: She also did a double ruffle, 'cuz why not. At the end of the night we did some googling and discovered there's a "lion's mane" mushroom that actually kind of looks like this?! Whaaaaat are the odds, y'all. Nature is WILD. I think it's safe to say that John's mushroom creation, however, will never be found in nature. At least, let's hope not. Ded. (Those are leftover eyeballs from my Labyrinth moss; I still have a bag lying around for emergencies.) Yep, somehow John turned this sweet DIY into the horror version of the McDonald's Fry Guys. Remember these? Omigosh. Wait. WAIT. I just realized: It's the Fry Guy Fungi. Ok, the pun makes it better. And on that ridiculous note, I hope you have an amazing week! Let me know if you plan to make any of these cuties (or horrors), and how else you'd display them, since mine, uh, seem to be multiplying. ***** Pssst. If you like this craft then I bet you'll also like my Crescent Wreath DIY: It's made entirely from Dollar Tree materials, and only cost about $10! Or how about my furry monster Christmas tree? Sure it's the wrong season, but leave the Santa hat off and it could easily be a furry monster Easter tree. Eh? EH? Drat, now I want to make furry monster Easter eggs. Talk me out of this.

Hi there. How ya hangin' in? I hope better than me, since today I feel like the cat in that motivational poster from the guidance counselor's office. STOP JUDGING ME VINTAGE POSTER I'M TRYING So today we're going to take some nice deep breaths, snuggle something fuzzy (people, pets, & plushies all count), and look at crafts. Cool? Cool cool cool. In fact, I have one of my own crafts to kick us off! Y'all really seemed to love this one from my Stories: That's not quite finished; after this I added a door wreath & handle and some side hearts made from candy canes. For all of you asking for a tutorial, there's really not much to toot: just paint the base brown, pipe on plain white caulking for "icing", and hot-glue on a variety of real and fake candies. I originally made this to wear on my head, believe it or not, but by the time I added all the decor it was a little too heavy, ha. So now it lives on a shelf as decor. (You'll see my replacement silly hat later.) That's my contribution, now let's look at a dozen more Dollar Tree Christmas crafts I've been saving up to show you. Most of these use low-demand DT materials, too, so hopefully you won't have to run all over town looking for supplies. 1) Candy Dish Lamp Post By Honey H. on Dollar Tree Craft Ideas This lidded candy dish was MADE to be a lamp post, y'all: just paint the lid black and add a tealight! You can make the stand from a variety of things: pool noodles, candlesticks, or two DT vases glued together like Honey did here. Here's her photo of everything she used: Hit that link up there to see Honey's original post & instructions. 2) Cast Iron Pan Ornament By Dena M. on Dollar Tree Crafts This is adorable for the chef in your life. Dena made a whole bunch, hit the link to see all the different designs she cut on her Cricut. The pan is the one material you may have to hunt for: it comes in this little kitchen play set at Dollar Tree: I haven't spotted them yet at our local store, but since it isn't Christmas related I'm hoping more will come in soon. They should be in the toy aisle. 3) Pool Noodle Mickey Head Lollipops I know you've seen the regular pool noodle lollies, but have you seen the Mickey ones? By Amanda U. on Dollar Trees Creative Minds Ermergersh. And only about $10 each to make! I've been planning an elaborate gingerbread house theme for the outside of our house someday, and when we do it, I'll finally have an excuse to make these. Hit the link for Amanda's instructions. 4) Dollar Tree Dollar Tree Gnome No, that's not a typo. I probably shouldn't find it so amusing that Dollar Tree has dollar trees, but here we are. Also apologies if you're over the gnome trend, but I find this totes adorbz: By Kollett B. on this thread in Dollar Trees Creative Minds I've seen a lot of these tree gnomes, and the one variable is the shoes. You can use real baby shoes, or Santa boots ornaments, or make your own boots out of soda bottles. Everything else is DT, though: 2 trees, an ornament for the nose, and a scarf to make the hat & mittens. C'mon. SO CUTE. 5: Pool Noodle Candy Canes By Melissa S. on Dollar Tree Craft Ideas Another craft for my future gingerbread house. Melissa used a mop handle in the straight section, and a bent hanger to make the curve. So smart, and so pretty with the extra spriggy bits in the middle. 6: Foam Board & Shelf Liner Tree Box By Tabitha M. on Dollar Tree Crafts This is the most practical DIY on the list, and can save you a BUNDLE. Tree collars are all the rage right now, but they can cost anywhere from $30 to $60 or more. Even a tree skirt costs at least $15. But this rustic little box made from foam board & shelf liner? Just five dollars, and look how nice Tabitha's turned out: The cross beams really sell the look, gotta remember this next time I make a tree box. 7. Punch Bowl Giant Jingle Bells By Create and Craft with Katie, hit that link for her YouTube tutorial. I love over-sized decor, and these are super high-impact, especially in groups of three! I've seen them in bright red and even gold, so lots of decorating options. 8: DIY Tinsel Sleigh Courtney wanted a large sparkly sleigh for her yard, so she made one out of coat hangers: Then she wrapped it in Dollar Tree tinsel, and look: By Courtney F. on Dollar Tree's Creative Minds Imagine the possibilities. You could make your own snowmen, or stars, or any simple shapes. Add lights with the tinsel, and you've got professional looking yard decor! Just use more hangers to make yard stakes and an easel back for display. That reminds me, you know how light-up deer cost a fortune? And how I'm allergic to spending money? Well check out this project I did for a friend: You can buy this 4-foot tall reindeer at Home Depot for $30, the best price I've found anywhere for the size. Trouble is, it looks kind of terrible. You can barely tell what it's supposed to be. So here's how to make it look so much better. Grab yourself 5 rolls of this sparkly mesh from Dollar Tree. It's plastic, so weather-proof. Wire one end of the mesh to your deer, starting at her head, and wrap her up like a mummy. When you're done you can also add a festive ribbon scarf, if you like. Now, look at the difference: BOOYA. My $30 skeleton looks like a fully fleshed reindeer! I am SO chuffed with this, y'all. The deco mesh diffuses the light at night, and during the day it has an iridescent sparkle, so it's a million times prettier night or day. Anyhoo, hope that helps some of you out there who also own skimpy deer skeletons. ;) Now, back to the crafts. 9: Glass Bowl Snowmen By Kelly M. on Dollar Tree Craft Ideas These are great for craft night, since the basics are simple and they're fun to personalize. Hit the link for Kelly's instructions, but they're made from 2 glass bowls glued open sides together, with a light strand inside. (You leave the switch hanging out on the back.) 10) Candy Cane Form Unicorn Wreath By Christine F. on Dollar Tree Crafts Not specifically Christmas decor, but snag one of those candy cane forms now so you can make this later. 11) Oven Mitt Santa Mittens The original post is gone, but I found this in Dollar Tree Crafts. This is another super customizable one: all you need are oven mitts and 2 fuzzy mop heads for the white cuffs. Folk are also using those mop heads to cover wreath forms, make gnome beards, or as fake snow in the bottom of glass bowls. Aren't crafters amazing? 12) Wreath Hoop Centerpiece By Joni A. on Dollar Trees Creative Minds I highly recommend hitting up Pinterest for more inspiration on these, because there are sooooo many amazing ones. Some folks use the wire hoops from DT like this one, glued to a charger plate, and others are using DT hula hoops to make even larger versions. Either way you wrap them in fairy lights and hot-glue on flowers, ornaments, greenery, etc. Be sure to hang a few things from the top, too, for extra magic. And finally, here's one last link that's stolen too much of my time today: Smart Schoolhouse has a whole page of tutorials for over-sized outdoor decor, and they are SO FUN. These aren't specifically Dollar Tree crafts, but a lot of the materials could be. Spot the cake pans. Have you SEEN these oversized Christmas lights? So freaking cool. There's a how-to video for these, along with giant nutcrackers, bells, and lollipops. My favorite is this gingerbread house icing trim, which I want to start making immediately: Alright, I'm done, I'm done! Go see the rest over at Smart Schoolhouse, there's lots more to see. ****** P.S. Hey. Listen. No matter how you feel right now, whether you're on top of the world or in the darkest pit, remember it won't last. Feeling are temporary. Day turns to night turns to day again. So if things are good right now, cherish them. Hold these moments close. Dance in your underwear, eat too much ice cream. Make memories that will carry you through the bad times. And if things are bad, just hang on. Morning is coming. For all of us. Here's a hug from the pit, though, 'til it gets here. ::squishy squeeze:: ****** If you use Amazon, please consider bookmarking the Epbot Amazon shop!
