Hi everyone and welcome to my channel, today I'll show you how to make super cute mushrooms using silicone sealer! I've also made them lighted, but you can do without it and use them for your fall arrangements.
Here is the link to the video from DIY Perks I'm referring to: • DIY Mushroom Lights (c...

To make the mushrooms you will need:
- clear silicone sealer (depending on its base it may take more or less time to fully cure);
- stiff wire for making a base (if you're making tiny mushrooms - use thin wire, and for bigger ones best if to use thicker wire to be able to hold the cap's weight well)
- baby powder
- paint for coloring the sealer (I used acrylic paints, DIY Perks used watercolor paints, you can take eather of them).
If you want to solder the lights, you sill also need (I'll provide Amazon and Aliexpress options as the latter are much cheaper):
- a soldering iron: amzn.to/3LkhSCd
- LEDs (you can either cut them from an LED strip, like me, or buy separate ones). I've used SMD 5050.

on Aliexpress: bit.ly/3RBWQku
- thin wire (I've used 30 AWG thickness)
on Amazon: amzn.to/3xCjiSX
on Aliexpress: bit.ly/3L8Cz3U
- resistors

For my SMD5050 LEDs I've used 150 ohm resistors.
on Amazon: amzn.to/3L52vNC
on Aliexpress: bit.ly/3U38DKk
- 3 AA battery pack or an old phone adaptor, if you want to make the lights plugged (I've simply cut the pack from fairy lights).

on Aliexpress: bit.ly/3eJt2El
And having a holder like this will help you a lot when soldering! Wish I had something like this:
