I'm sharing both a video tutorial and a written tutorial below.

I'll also have a share thread on my Facebook page to share our finished ornaments.

Here is the supply list:

Supplies needed:

A recycled egg carton (you can make three or four ornaments with one egg carton)
Craft paint - red and white
A small paintbrush
Scissors
Embroidery floss
A large needle
Hot glue gun

Here is the video tutorial:

Step One - cut the pieces

Cut the pieces from the bottom portion of the egg carton. You'll need one cone shape and one cup shape for each mushroom ornament.

Step Two - Paint

Paint the cups red.

Paint the cones white.

Use the end of the paintbrush to add polka dots to the cups. These will be the mushroom caps.

Step Three - Add a hanger

Use embroidery floss and a large needle to create a hanger.

Step Four - add the mushroom stem

Add a dollop of hot glue inside the mushroom cap, over the knot on the embroidery floss and stick the end of the cone into the glue to create the mushroom stem.
