GARDEN JUNK: Jello Mold Container Garden Toadstools

Last year I purchased a baggie with vintage, individual, Jello molds for $3 at a thrift shop. I got the idea to make three of them into toadstools. It was quick and easy, and I think pretty cute too!
I painted two the molds red and left one plain aluminum.
I watered down my Rustoleum paint to make it more opaque and not brand new.
After distressing with fine sand paper a bit, I added a coat of water based poly.
I added buttons with E6000, white and mushroom colored in various sizes.
I used wood handled screwdrivers and a spade for stems and picks.
