Mushroom Garden table! 🍄

I was scrolling through Facebook reels and this DIY mushroom garden table by ‘Down Mulberry Lane’ stopped me in my tracks! I love to get artsy and craft, but hardly make time for it. This DIY was simple, easy, and ends up looking super cute!

What you’ll need:

🍄 Round piece of wood - I used a serving tray I found at Aldi because I wanted something heavy duty and I’m a perfectionist but honestly any round piece of wood will work!

🍄 Large planter - I almost didn’t find the planter I was looking for until I went to Big Lots! My Big lots had many planters on sale for 40% off end of season. This one I got for $12. You could very well just use a round dorm trash can from Walmart for $3 to save on cost.

🍄 Paint - I’m in the middle of a large outdoor mural currently so I already had exterior paint coincidently enough in the right colors I wanted. You could certainly use acrylic, again I wanted heavy duty because it is staying outside in my garden.

🍄Drill with drill bits and a screw - Once placing the completed serving tray on top of the planter. Use your drill and pilot bit to predrill a hole in the middle and then drill screw in that hole (paint over the screw when completed).

AND THATS IT!

I was able to complete this project during my son’s nap time! Tempted to make a matching red one in the future!

... Read moreCreating a DIY Mushroom Garden Table is not just about making a functional piece; it’s about adding a unique touch to your outdoor decor. This project blends creativity with nature. With the right materials, such as a round wooden serving tray and a large planter, you can achieve a rustic, cozy look right in your garden. Consider using vibrant exterior paints to make the table pop against the greenery. When selecting your wood, ensure it’s sturdy enough to withstand the elements, as it will be placed outdoors. Using a heavy-duty tray not only enhances durability but also adds a charming aesthetic. If you're on a budget, look for second-hand items or seasonal sales at local stores to save money without compromising on quality. While building, remember to use tools safely, especially when drilling. Pre-drilling a hole for the screw is a best practice to avoid cracking the wood. If you enjoy spending time with your kids, this could be a delightful project to do together, fostering creativity and teamwork. Children can be involved in painting the tray or helping choose colors to enhance their engagement. Finally, this DIY project is flexible and can be adjusted to match your personal style! Whether you prefer a minimalist look or something vibrant, you can choose from various colors and patterns to reflect your personality. Happy DIY-ing!
