The Dollar Tree DIY Dupe That Looks Just Like The World Market Mushroom Ornaments
If you jumped aboard the fairycore design train and are looking to bring a little natural wonder to your holiday decor (without breaking the bank), you're in the right place. Any time is a good time for woodland accents, and World Market seems to agree with their adorable Mini Wooden Mushroom Ornaments. These teeny tiny ornaments are just over 1-inch tall, so they're meant to add a subtle but oh-so-adorable hint of forest magic to your Christmas tree. While the price point isn't too shabby at $10.99 for a pack of 14, we found a dupe that allows you to get the look and customize it to suit your holiday style.
Dollar Tree's Crafters Square Wooden Mini Mushrooms are a near-perfect match to World Market's version, and with a few modifications, they'll be ready to adorn your tree or garland. They come in packs of eight for $1.25, so you can make roughly three to four times as many ornaments with this DIY for about the same price. Along with the mushrooms, all you need are enough clothespins to attach one to each ornament to your tree, hot glue, and the paint color of your choosing. Before you head home from Dollar Tree, grab a few more items to make a Christmas-themed cottagecore moss wreath to match your fairy-inspired mushroom ornaments.
Craft your own mushroom ornaments with paint and clothespins
The clothespins will serve as "hangers" for your ornaments, so if you want them to blend in with your tree or garland, give them a nice coat of deep green paint before you start working on your mushrooms. The sky is the limit with your ornament decoration — World Market carries several different styles of mushroom ornaments, so poke around their website for inspiration. Stick with the matte look or opt for metallic paint if that's more your holiday vibe. You can leave the stems their natural wood color to match the World Market version or give them a subtle brush of white for a more authentic look. Once your mushrooms are decorated and dry, hot glue them to the clothespins and stick them on your tree. To carry the mushroom theme and woodland cheer throughout the rest of your home, try this DIY mushroom decor craft, which uses paper to make honeycomb mushrooms.
If you want to hang your mushrooms instead of using clothespins, grab some twine and wrap it around the mushroom stem right below the cap, tying off the twine above the cap so your ornament will hang from the twine. You can also tie the twine around the mushroom stem in a decorative bow for a cute finishing touch. If you want some of your ornaments to have a round eye hook like World Market's, try this fairycore toilet paper mushroom DIY.
