How To Make Mushroom Painted Rocks
Make these adorable mushroom painted rocks for your garden! These rocks add a pop of color to your outside decor and are easy and fun to make!
Supplies Needed For Mushroom Painted Rocks
- Rocks that will fit together well
- Craft paint in red and white
- Adhesive
- Paintbrushes
- Round sponge pouncer brush
Step 1: Paint Your Rocks
Begin by painting your rocks with craft paint. You will need one white rock for the stem and one red rock for the top for each mushroom. This process may require two to three coats of paint, so be sure to allow the paint to dry between each coat.
Step 2: Add White Dots To Red Rocks
Once dry, add the dots to the top of each red rock. A round pouncer brush makes this easy.
Step 3: Glue Rocks Together
Allow the dots to dry completely, then glue the rocks together. I used Beacon Power-Tac and it worked great!
NOTE: You will need to support the rocks in some way while the adhesive cures. I used some foam and a clothespin.
Once the adhesive is set, you are ready to add these mushroom rocks to your garden!
I hope now that you can see just how easy this project really is you will make some adorable rock mushrooms for your garden or potted plant.
You can even let the kids help with this one. It is the perfect way to keep them busy during those long summer days.
The only question left is just how many of these garden mushrooms you will make!

FAQs About Mushroom Painted Rocks
Here are answers to some of the most common questions I get about making mushroom painted rocks. If your question isn’t listed, feel free to drop it in the comments, and I’ll be happy to help!
How Did You Find The ”Right Type” Of Rocks For This Project?
I just went outside and found rocks that I thought would work well together. However, you can buy rocks online or at your local big box store. – Just remember that your mushroom rocks do not need to look perfect! They actually look better and have more charm when the rocks are a bit ”mismatched”.
Can I Paint My Mushroom Rocks A Different Color?
Absolutely! I chose to go with red and white, but you could paint your mushrooms brown, orange, yellow, or any color you like!
Can I Add A Sealer To These Mushroom Painted Rocks?
Yes, you can add a spray sealer over the top of your project to protect it from the elements!
