Mushroom Garden Art

Cut branches to the desired height for your mushrooms. Tapering one end of each may make them easier to pound into the ground. However, I used a shovel to loosen the dirt and stuck the branches into it.
Apply primer to bowls and let dry.
Spray-paint the bowls your first chosen color, inside and out. Apply a couple of coats to make sure they are protected since they will be outside. Let dry.
Cut circles out of contact paper and stick to the outside of the bowls. The paper wrinkles a bit on the curved bowls, so really press it down.
Apply spray paint in your second chosen color to the outside of the bowls. Let dry.
After allowing to dry, remove the contact paper circles.
Drill a hole in the bottom of the bowl and into the top of the branch. Put in a screw to hold the two together. My screw was a little over an inch long. Make sure you allow for the thickness of your bowl.
There you have it!Some friends made themselves right at home under mine!
