Because this month Autumn starts we make pretty Toadstool lanterns. Not to take outside, but to put in the living room and light on Martinmas, when it gets dark outside. These lanterns are quickly made if you have some nice empty jars to recycle. You can download our mushrooms or draw your own beautiful mushrooms and then cut them out.

Presh the toadstools on the Modpodge.
Allow the Modpodge to dry briefly.
Brush another layer of Modpodge over the entire pot(s) and let it dry completely
Tie a piece of string around the jars, then you can also hang them.
