These pretty mushrooms are a craft idea with many variation possibilities. They are made Structure Paste from half round Polystyrene balls, sticks and fit into every autumn decoration.
Here's how it works

Saw a 20 cm and a 25 cm long wooden stick and glue them with hot glue approximately in the middle of the bark slices

Now halve the Polystyrene ball with a long, sharp knife and stick the halves onto the round bars. Due to the high temperature of the hot glue, the stick melts into the hemisphere. Apply the light structure paste with a Spatula first to the underside of the hemispheres, i.e. the cut surfaces, then to the rounding. Use a wooden stick to draw circles into the moist mass and let it dry thoroughly.

Wrap the round bars with strips of Straw silk paperwhich you will be using Napkin varnish fix it. After drying, prime the umbrellas in Indian yellow and May green and wipe over with Terracotta or olive green. Press lightly with Paint sponge so that the outline of the curls becomes visible
Then glue a cuff of bobbin lace around the trunk. Place the tip once flat and once in frills on top of it.

Then decorate the bark discs with plate moss and blades of grass from Natural paper. Strengthen a blade of grass with a wire so that the butterfly can sit on it. This is made of natural paper and has feelers made of aluminium wire.
This idea is timelessly beautiful!
