Make a nice string of lights

Make a string of mushrooms lights.

I am completely crazy about lights.

Especially in the dark days, but also on the terrace on warm summer evenings.

Now I had the idea for a while to make a string of mushrooms lights, man acorn caps.

And they came...

What do you need?

To start, go for a lovely walk in the forest in the fall, and look for beautiful acorn caps.

I washed them briefly in water with some vinegar and let them dry well for a while.

A battery-powered LED light string of your choice.

Acrylic paint red and white, and a varnish I used decoart liquid glass myself.

And finally a glue gun.

How do you proceed

When you have found the acorn caps, first wash them briefly in water with a little vinegar in it, this against bugs. Then you let them dry very well.

Then you paint the hats with acrylic paint in I used 2 different types, and that is no problem at all.

I myself used a good layer of Liquid glass from decart to varnish them.

I added some glitter to this varnish for a bit more sparkle.

You let this dry well again.

Then you stick the hats on the lights with your glue gun and fill the bottom a bit with glue.

And then your light garland is ready... and now be honest, isn't this really fun to hang up?


I wish you lots of fun crafting.

Greetings Agnes.

In the past I worked with my mother together on roof tiles and stones with napkins, this was so much fun. And the nice thing is that it is still a very nice and beautiful technique. The technique I use now is just a little different, because you work on the inside.
