GUESS WHAT

Mushroom!!! Mushroom storage tins!!!!

They're made of mostly recycled materials,i.e. cookie tins and wafer containers ,mdf discs from birthday and Christmas cakes,and packaging foam, upholstered with whatever velvet I had left from the mushroom ottomans,white cement,and paper mache. They're fully functional as storage tins,but unlike the ottomans you can't sit on them unfortunately :")

I went for a slightly more realistic approach this time,with the spots and gills.. I'm quite proud of them,I think they look really cute in that corner!

I was originally going to use paper mache and paint on the caps too,but my mother suggested I use up the velvet I had left, and I'm so glad she did! I haven't kept anything inside them yet, I'm thinking of keeping my keychains and knick knacks. For now please look at them!

There will be a video tutorial soon!

#my crafts #mushroom #mushrooms #I started in freaking December and had to shelve soon in January and only got to rhem now #I think it took a total of.....~50hrs worktime?#which is probably more than the ottomans did but this was way more fun because smaller things are easier for me #also there was no sofa foam only packaging foam so no back pain trying to cut that curse
