I've got a super fun DIY for your next craft night, gang; this was a huge hit with my group, and I think my favorite thing we've made all year: Hobbit Door Wreaths! Or alternatively, Fairy Door Wreaths. In fact that's what I love about these: they're infinitely customizeable. And - AND! - you can buy everything you need from Dollar Tree, so they only cost a few dollars each to make. Here's my Friday Night group hard at work on theirs: I'll show you all their finished wreaths as we go along. First, let's talk materials: I found the wreaths, flowers, rope hangers, moss, and I think even the wood beads all at Dollar Tree. The only thing not from DT on mine are the tiny mushrooms and the insulation foam we used for the doors - but here's a handy foam substitution you CAN find at Dollar Tree: Did you know you can peel off the paper backing from DT foam board? I just learned this trick from Studson Studio, my new favorite Youtuber. You can stack the foam together to make thicker pieces, and just like pink or blue insulation foam, this stuff carves & textures like a dream. Perfect for woodgraining. Again, we used pink foam because we have so much in the garage, but everything I'm about to show will also work on DT foam. Last thing: be on the lookout for things you can turn into tiny door handles. Wooden beads, jewelry pieces, or these finger puzzles from Dollar Tree all work great: A little gold paint, and you can turn that into this: Calvin went with a homey swamp aesthetic for his door, and had an elaborate backstory of the crotchety hermit who lives there, ha. (Yes, basically Shrek.) I LOVE the moss growing out of the knots in the wood. Oh, you'll also need hot glue and basic craft paints, btw. Make sure everyone has their own work station, including the cats: Check. First things first, trace your wreaths onto the foam and cut out your door circles. Make them a little big, because we'll be pressure-fitting them into the wreath later. Now, we woodgrain! This is the fun part. You don't need special tools for this, but if you HAVE carving tools, give them a go. Practice on the back of your door or a separate scrap first. I tried out a bunch of tools, so let me show you my 3 favorite, and what they do: This fat wooden knife made thick jaggedly lines, perfect for the seams between the wood planks. (You can also use a butter knife.) Make these seams first. Next, this metal loop makes fantastic wood knots: Just drag down, and you'll get a roughed-up patch. If you don't have a loopy tool, try dragging a craft blade horizontally for a similar effect. Do these knots second. Finally, I used this sharp needle tool for all my grain lines: You can use anything sharp and pointy for this, like a toothpick or pencil. Don't be afraid to carve deep; too light and the grain won't show up after painting. The hardest part with woodgraining is knowing when to stop, but by the end you should have something like this: Next paint the entire thing with flat black craft paint. (Spray paint dissolves this foam, so that's a big no-no.) Really scrub the paint into all the grain lines; you don't want ANY foam showing. The paint will take a while to dry, especially if your grain lines are deep, so this is a fantastic time to break for dinner. Behold our build-your-own baked potato bar, with both sweet and regular potatoes, all the regular fixings, plus barbecue pork and spicy chicken with ranch dressing. Aw yeah. SO GOOD. P.S. BBQ on a sweet potato will rock your world. Right, back to crafting or whatever. ;) Next is the fun part. OK, another fun part. DRY-BRUSHING. Grab at least 2 shades of the color you want: one darker, one lighter. Start with the darker shade, pounce most of it off your brush onto a paper towel, and then lightly brush it over your door. It helps to brush against the grain like I'm doing here, so you only hit the top peaks. For my blue door I used both a cobalt blue and turquoise craft paint for my base coat. You can see that was still pretty dark after my first coat: I kept layering up the blue and the turquoise, then added a bright blue highlight, which eventually gave me this: Once your door is done, it's time to squish it into your wreath. Ours took some trimming because John cut our foam into perfect circles, and the DT wreaths are anything BUT perfect circles, ha: Don't worry if there are gaps or crunchy edges; you can cover a lot of that with moss and flowers later. Now another fun part: DECORATING. Gratuitous pretty picture I took while picking my flower colors. Shades of a blue hydrangea, right? At those point you may hot-glue on all the moss and flowers and whatnot your hobbity heart desires. There's no right or wrong way to do this, so let me show you the rest of my group's for more inspiration: Kelsey used hot glue and beads to make this incredible doorknob, then decorated with big chunks of moss. She and Calvin made theirs a co-ordinating set: Calvin was so proud of his test scrap of foam that he made sure I got that in the photo. :D Kari - who's actually BEEN to Hobbiton in New Zealand, so we're all insanely jealous - made two almost identical wreaths so she could give one to a friend. The doorknobs are wood beads with little filigree pieces on top. Kari is a professional faux finisher, and it shows, because peep that incredible woodgrain and highlight! I shamelessly tried to copy her for my first door, but I'm terrible at "random" and made my highlight way too even: ::Stitch voice:: "It's small, and not highlighted well, but still good. Yeah. Still good." I added a little piece of craft foam at the bottom to look like a flagstone - did it work? I also added teeny plastic mushrooms I already had from Amazon: I originally bought them for a Wonderland teacup garden, which I still want to make someday. That's on the list for a future Craft Night. More wreaths! Here's Karen's blue door: And Traci's red one: Traci carved in an extra door trim around the edge on hers, which I really like, then the doorknob is more little pieces from my jewelry stash. Forgot to mention it, but our hangers are just a piece of DT rope hot-glued to the backs: One pack of rope was enough for at least 8 or 9 wreaths. For something completely different, here's John's non-wreath Hobbit door: I told him he made a haunted Hufflepuff Hobbit hole, ha. This is made entirely out of pink insulation foam and a little moss. We're watching Lord of the Rings this week for the first time in ages, and after Bilbo's "Concerning Hobbits" John and I've decided all Hobbits are Hufflepuffs. Any seconds? Are we all in agreement here? And finally, here's my finished blue door wreath, which I'm super proud of: I really love these colors together, and I think I did better with the highlight this time. I spent too long making that fancy doorknob, but I think it was worth it. Here's an extreme zoom of the top handle piece: I rounded a filigree in my doming block, then glued on a gem I cut and filed from a scrapbooking brad: I finished with a light coat of gold Rub N' Buff, then fitted it over a wooden bead. I hope this inspires some happy craft nights of your own, 'bots! After spending most of my life crafting alone, I can tell you it's SO much more fun with friends and laughter around. Sometimes the distraction of other people helps me break out of my perfectionism, plus you get to bounce ideas off each other and ask for advice, which I love. Then when you're done, you get one final art project left behind: There's something about the enormous mess after a group project that makes me so happy. Though vacuuming up moss dust for the next week makes me... less so. (How. HOW does it get everywhere??) Love y'all, go do something that would make Bilbo proud this weekend! You know, like bake a pie, plant some flowers, or have a nice cup of tea snuggled up with a good book. Mmm. That's the stuff. ***** P.S. My Squeegineer winners for the month of June are Mely J. & Mara P. Congrats, you two, and please check your inboxes for a message from John, so you can pick your prizes!

There's an excellent mushroom DIY by Emma of ystreetstudio over on Instagram, and as soon as my Craft Night crew saw it, they put in requests to make our own. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emma (@ystreetstudio) So good, right? And a fairly simply process, so of course I was onboard. That is, until John and I went to JoAnns and saw the price of those large Styrofoam balls. o.0 Aw HECK no. Even with one ball making two 'shrooms, this drives the material cost up to about $15 each! If you're a lone crafter that might be doable, but our Craft Night averages 4 to 6 people, so... nuh-uh. (Smaller foam balls cost less, of course, but I wanted nice chonky 'shrooms like Emma's.) (Also "Chonky 'Shrooms" is my new favorite phrase. It's so fun to say! Seriously, try it.) (See?) So off to Dollar Tree we went, because I was determined to DIY these fun guys on a DT budget. It took a few days and some trial and error, but y'all, we did it. Behold mah big mushy babies! Hang on, that's not the best photo - it's more for size reference. Here are some better angles: My fairy ring is a-growing. I love the pleated undersides: Though you have to get real low to see the yellow one's: I made each one a little different, so you can see a variety of styles and heights. My total cost per 'shroom was about $4, and could be even less, depending on what's in your craft stash. (I had the white velvet, so we only needed to buy the base pieces & top fabric.) These are great for group crafts, or for amassing your own magical mushy forest. Ready to see how? Excellent. ROLL THE TAPE, JOHN! Ta-daaaaa. Here are some handy templates for ya: Right-click each to embiggen, then save to your desktop. Now a quick PSA: don't use puff paint for the dots. I bought and tested two different brands - including the Tulip one in the inspiration video - and both dried with a lumpy texture and VERY shiny. Plain white craft paint, on the other hand, dried perfectly smooth and slightly domed, in a more matte finish: Puff paint versus craft paint If your craft paint is too thin let it thicken slightly on a plate before you goop it on, so it won't run. Since you probably already have white craft paint, that's one less thing to buy. In the video I showed you how to make a contrasting white under-frill, like this: (Technically called gills, but I like "under frills.") However, you can save a step if you want the underside to match the top. Just make the top fabric circle a little bigger, and draw-string it closed like this: (I just realized this angle in this color is a little... er... you know what, never mind. MOVING ON.) That's the underside of my friend Arielle's 'shroom, which turned out like this: (@Rasldazl) So pretty! I like her bigger spots, too. This drawstring method is a little more fidgety, since you're depending on thread instead of glue to stretch the fabric taut across the top. It saves you making the separate cardboard piece, though, so your call. I dry-brushed some white paint on the underside of my pleats to give them a little contrast, that's another option for you: I also left the stem ruffle off, made this one shorter, and skipped the aging for a cuter, more classic toadstool look. I like both styles, really. How about you? Which do you like better? I left the spots off the pink one, both so you can see one plain and because I'm tired of painting random dots, heh. I struggle SO HARD with "random" placement, y'all; I overthink it, it takes forever, and, and... Pretty much. Now let's see a couple more variations, because my friends are stinkin' creative and I think you'll love these. :D Karen cut her bowl & stem in half lengthwise to make two flat mushrooms for this incredible wall display: We broke out my box o' butterflies for the finishing touches, and I love this SO MUCH, I can't even. Just...gah. So magical. (Would also be great for wreaths!) Bianca skipped the velvet top and went with FUR from our fabric stash instead, which was hilarious: She also did a double ruffle, 'cuz why not. At the end of the night we did some googling and discovered there's a "lion's mane" mushroom that actually kind of looks like this?! Whaaaaat are the odds, y'all. Nature is WILD. I think it's safe to say that John's mushroom creation, however, will never be found in nature. At least, let's hope not. Ded. (Those are leftover eyeballs from my Labyrinth moss; I still have a bag lying around for emergencies.) Yep, somehow John turned this sweet DIY into the horror version of the McDonald's Fry Guys. Remember these? Omigosh. Wait. WAIT. I just realized: It's the Fry Guy Fungi. Ok, the pun makes it better. And on that ridiculous note, I hope you have an amazing week! Let me know if you plan to make any of these cuties (or horrors), and how else you'd display them, since mine, uh, seem to be multiplying. ***** Pssst. If you like this craft then I bet you'll also like my Crescent Wreath DIY: It's made entirely from Dollar Tree materials, and only cost about $10! Or how about my furry monster Christmas tree? Sure it's the wrong season, but leave the Santa hat off and it could easily be a furry monster Easter tree. Eh? EH? Drat, now I want to make furry monster Easter eggs. Talk me out of this.
