Making Egg Carton Magic Mushrooms

Total Time: 1 hour plus dry time

Supplies:

• 1 egg carton
• scissors
• red and white paint
• paintbrushes
• hot glue gun with glue

Steps:

1. Cut out the little cups from your egg carton.

 
2. I like to cut out the little separator bits to use as smaller mushrooms.

 
3. Press in some of the harder edges of the cups to shape into mushroom caps.

 
4. Paint all the caps red. Let dry.

5. Add white spots. Let dry.

 
6. To make the mushroom stems, cut long strips out of the rest of the carton.

 
7. Tightly roll up a strip. Cut it when you have the desired thickness for the stem.

 
8. Add some hot glue to the end so it does not unravel.

9. Add some hot glue to the top of one stem end so you can attach it the cap.

11. Repeat with the rest.
