Mushrooms


How to make mushrooms
What you needAluminium foilPlastic eggs the ones you use for Easter huntsPaint and paint brush
These are so easy to make and look so effective. My children loved making these. Slowly their fairygarden is coming together.
Divide the plastic eggs into two halves (You can make twomushrooms from one egg).Wrap aluminium foil around the half egg.Roll aluminium foil into a sausage this will be used for the stem,I made mine slightly longer; this allowed me to push the end intothe bottom of the egg, by doing this I did not need glue to attach.You may need a little more tin foil; squash it into the bottom(inside) of half egg to hold the stem all into place.Paint as desired.
