Materials:

• old LED bulb
• acrylic paint
• paintbrush
• long pill container (or anything you have on hand to make the mushroom stem)
• glue

Directions:

Step 1

Open up the bulb and discard the bottom part as you’ll only need the top. Next, color the bulbs in red, blue, green, and pink. Set them aside and let the paint dry completely. After this, color the pill container black (this will serve as the stem of the mushroom). Once the paint completely dries, put some white paint dots all over the mushroom heads.

Step 2

Once done, attach the mushroom to the stem with glue. After the glue dries, place them in your garden or under your plants.
