I absolutely loved making this spring home decor with hot glue mushrooms. It was so easy to make and almost everything I used was already at home. So this was super affordable.

This post is all about Spring Moss Decor Hot Glue Mushrooms
Spring always inspires me to create something new and something colourful. After the long winter, it feels good to celebrate with nature. I created a small DIY spring home decor using commonly found items.
I already had the wooden disk from my father in law’s tree. The moss was collected on one of our regular forest walks. The only thing I bought was the string of LED lights at a discount store.
To start, lay out a sheet of baking paper or parchment paper on a flat surface. Using the Hot glue gun, create small discs on the sheet. Create as many as there are the individual lights on the LED string. Allow to cool.
Once cooled, Wipe off any dust or dirt on the wooden piece and hot glue the string of lights on it. Since my wooden piece was round, I hot glued them in a circular pattern. Allow to cool.
Hot glue the bodies and tops of the individual LED lights and attach the small discs to them. Now our Mushrooms are ready.
Continue attaching the discs to the lights. Add hot glue to the wooden piece and fix the moss onto it. Cover the bases of the individual LED lights well to conceal the hot glue.
You can use this as a whimsical tablescape or as garden decor. If using outside, be sure to protect the batteries from rain and the morning dew.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on making this Spring Moss decor.
