Supplies:

Lowes or Home Depot: Concrete (quick set)

Yard: Branches! (You can use anything else, even stakes from Lowes or Home Depot.)

Milton’s Daughter: Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint: Marquee, Queen Bee, White Swan

Stash: Wax paper

Let’s make it!

Dave dug a shallow hole, lined it with wax paper, then poured fast setting concrete in it. We made lines in what will be the underside of our mushrooms while the concrete was still wet.

The branch is just one from the yard. You can use stakes or wood posts, whatever you have… Dave predrilled some screw threads and also cut one end of the branch into a point so we can stick it into the yard.

Dave also placed a long screw in the center so we would have something to attach the branch to.

Here’s a closeup of the screw. It’s a long one that is embedded while the concrete is wet.

I sprayed the underside with Rust-oleum in that taupe color.

Now to paint them!

I painted water over the concrete to thin out the paint a bit.

I used Marquee from Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint for the red one. You could leave them in the natural concrete color, because they really look great just like that!

I painted the yellow one with Debi’s Queen Bee.

Then I dried both with my heat tool

I just made circles with my larger paintbrush, and used a smaller one for the smaller circles.

I’m not sure I love these dots and dashes, but I can always paint over them!

And here they are, y’all! So quick and easy!
