DIY Velvet Capped Mushrooms

Velvet capped mushroom ornaments. She has yet to sew in 
the ribbons for hanging them.
    These velvet capped mushrooms are the latest additions to my eldest daughter's Christmas tree. She purchased the wooden 'stems' from a dollar store and raided our family sewing basket for the lace trim. The mushrooms are finished with glass seed beads on top of the stuffed caps. 

Supply List:

  • hot glue and hot glue gun
  • velvet scraps
  • lace trim
  • cut stick segments or recycled corks
  • seed beads 
  • batting
Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Cut 4 to 5 inch circles from the velvet for the caps.
  2. Gather these around the edges and stuff with just a bit of batting before pulling the thread taunt and sewing them firmly at the top of each wooden stem. (trunk)
  3. Use the hot glue to adhere the caps permanently. 
  4. Hot glue the lace near the underside of each cap.
  5. Sew the beads in random fashion on top of the tufted caps.
