My interest in thrifting really started during my senior year of high school. Fast forward 13 years and I still love finding vintage clothing, decor, and other household items that I can use and/or repurpose.
I came across this metal cake mold and a candle pillar and knew that I could use them to make a fun project.
First, I painted the pillar with chalk paint. I gave it two coats to have more coverage.
Then, I painted little circles/dots with the same chalk paint onto the red bowl.
I grabbed some super glue from Dollar Tree (e6000 would work too), put a layer of that around the top of the pillar, then placed the bowl over it.
I put a random object on top to act as a weight to keep the bowl pressed down in place overnight.
The next day, I took the mushroom outside and sprayed a couple of coats of Mod Podge. This helps seal it and also gives a glossy shine. If you use any glues or sprays, be sure to do it in a well-ventilated area!
This is the finished product. I think it will add a whimsical vibe to home decor, garden beds, or fairy gardens.
