Making Hot Glue Mushrooms I Saw on TikTok 🍄

Did I turn a 1 minute TikTok into a 6 minute craft video? Yes. Was it worth it because the process was fun and the mushrooms turned out cute AF? Also yes.

Adding white glue to your acrylic paint will help the paint to stick

[@StephenWarrenArt]

Whaaat I’ve never seen this before it’s so cute and simple! Hot glue is truly its own state of matter 🍄 I like the yellow ones

[@littleurbangardener]

You should definitely make some for your van! How cute would it be to have a few on your dashboard?

[@StephenWarrenArt]

@@littleurbangardener yesss so cute!

[@leef_me8112]

The problem with the bowl you used is that your hand movements stirred up the water. You can make the "stems" more straight by using a narrow/rectangular container. If you had something like a dish with cover that holds a stick of butter, then the stirring would be reduced. If you moved the glue gun parallel to the long dimension of the cover you would "draw a straight line"

The water method makes it look more real. Know I can use my new battery heat gun thanks love love the idea.

[@shalacarter6658]

Down with sleeping ! Up with Pugs on videos!!! I saw that Tik Tok as well, and glad you are making this tutorial. Blessings!

[@charlotteeaston2359]

If paint is sticking to what you want then mog podge is great. It’s a clear liquid paint type thing and I use it all the time.

[@jeshualuevano7380]

Super cute!!!

[@berryspades9121]

I'm so excited to try this ah

[@KarkatVantasBitches]

I use colored hot glue! Saves me from having to paint. :)

[@littleurbangardener]

I never thought about that! I'll have to give that a try.

[@55merrrilyn]

So trueee - just picked up some glo glue sticks today - can hardly wait 4 tmrrws experiments lol

[@kathleenetchison7539]

Amazing!

[@Frogs271]

I love it ❤

[@comradegarrett1202]

I actually really like the 3D one's effect! shame it's so hard to paint

[@littleurbangardener]

I feel like if I had a smaller brush (and a bit more patience) it might work!

[@magiashkii]

I would suggest spraying your mushrooms with a clear coat spray before you try to paint. it might help when trying to apply the paint.

[@littleurbangardener]

Thanks for the tip!

[@yumuki_su5764]

Doing this is way better than buying it. 🍄🍄

[@littleurbangardener]

It's a very therapeutic craft!

[@roselauver4122]

Cool I think I'm going to try some here tonight or tomro

[@olgagalstyan292]

Next time paint them white first and then paint it with diffirent colourse it works

[@uglyrat4325]

i may or may not have just dipped my whole hand in hot glue by accident

[@littleurbangardener]

Oh jeez! I hope you're okay!

um hello?! ur so underrated

[@AndreaRamirez-xm3vz]

Hermosos hongos

[@aliciasanders2477]

How did you get your stems to be so round!?!?! Mine all came out really flat

[@littleurbangardener]

A lot of trial and error! It took me several tries to get stems that I was satisfied with.

[@haliannepike4347]

I can't for the life of me get my stems thick at all. I can get them straight but not thick so they can't support my mushroom head. Any tips??

[@littleurbangardener]

Hmm, I feel like the only way to get them thicker is to use one of those larger glue guns that puts out thicker lines of glue. All of my stems were pretty thin as I was using a basic hot glue gun. You could try making the mushrooms heads smaller or the stems shorter. The taller the stems are, the less likely they will be able to support larger mushroom heads.

[@corriedallas]

Did you use cold, warm or hot water?

[@littleurbangardener]

I used cold water. It might've been closer to room temperature by the time I got around to filming that part.

[@jendubay3782]

You could have just done the hot glue right on your counter, and it would have been fine

[@littleurbangardener]

I was too scared to do that since we're just renting the place 😅
