I love my garden! It's my backyard oasis where I go to relax and forget about the stresses in my life. I like to wander around and look at all the plants, and it's so cute to add a little whimsy with some fun decorations!
I've gone to quite a few garden stores and all of their decorations are pretty expensive - just a basic pot can cost you $50 or more! I've found that the best way to spruce up your garden is to make some decorations yourself, it's actually quite easy and much less expensive.
These Garden Mushrooms are adorable, easy to make, and the red really stands out in the garden. All you need are terra cotta pots and saucers, paint and glue - so simple!

Use something round to trace circles on the red part of your mushroom. If you can draw circles freehand without any help go for it!
Fill in your circles with white acrylic paint. Let dry.
