Make Some Wooden Bowl Mushrooms

I had some old wooden bowls laying around that were either never getting used, or in pretty bad shape. I wanted to make some decor for the yard and thought it would be fun to turn them into some mushrooms. Some of you remember back in the day, the good old Super Mario Bros.? I always loved the little mushrooms, so I thought this would be a fun way to bring some of that to life in our yard. They were pretty simple to make and I got to use stuff that was just laying around, or that I already had in my craft drawers, so it didn’t cost much at all.
I started by sanding the bowls completely, to make it easier for the paint to stick. You could use a sander, or just some paper and do it by hand. Depending on bowl size, it usually doesn’t take very long.
When that was done, I started the task of painting the base color of white. That way it would be under where I put my stickers and I could just paint over the rest with the red color.
I made some stickers to use as stencils. After the top coat paint was finally dry, I started removing the stickers from the bowls. I tried not to wait too long, so that it would pull the paint up at the edges, but it was dry enough not to make me wonder what I was doing to my hands!
We then made some stands for them and placed them out in the yard. For the full tutorial, go to https://www.tigerstrypes.com/wooden-bowl-mushrooms/
