  • Branch with illuminated mushrooms

    Homemade mushrooms with light.

    Look how nice these luminous mushrooms are made of LED lights.

    You can easily make this yourself in the size and style that fits your interior.

    And it gives a cozy atmosphere in the evening.

    What do you need?

    Find a nice sturdy branch in the woods, let it dry for a while if you want to put it inside.

    For inside I used fake moss, but if you want to use a branch for outside, you can use real moss.

    Glue gun, glue sticks, and of course LED lights.

    How do you proceed?

    I first let the branch dry for a while, because I wanted to put it in the living room.

    You can also treat it with some vinegar, against the critters.

    I attached the lights to the branch with a glue gun.

    Do this in such a way that you have the stems standing upright in front of the mushrooms.

    When this is done I have provided all stems with a layer of glue.


    I used a white milky glue filling, but you can also use a regular glue stick.

    On a sticker sheet (so the sheet where the stickers are off) I made circles with the glue gun, these will be the mushroom hats.

    I also made fungi like that.


    If you have a light cord with flat lights, you can also make the stems of the mushrooms on the sticker sheet.

    When this is all dry, stick the caps on the stems.


    Then stick moss and small twigs near the mushrooms to further fill in the twig and hide the string of lights.

    Then you will give all the mushrooms a nice color with acrylic paint, for this I used pentart and pebeo paint because it is a bit thinner.

    Then I varnished it with Pentart 3D decor pen transparent, to create a nice glossy effect.

    And then your branch is ready.


    If you want to see how it is made, watch our YouTube video in which you can see exactly how I make it.

    You can find this at the bottom of the message.


    I wish you all a lot of crafting fun again.

    Greetings Agnes.
