Crafts for a summer cottage or cottage plot
Compositions made from artificial mushrooms create an atmosphere of fairy tales and comfort in the open area. A mushroom meadow will decorate the area, and toy animals can enliven the overall look.
How to prepare “Mushroom Glade Salad”
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Boil potatoes and carrots until tender, boil hard-boiled eggs. Separately, boil the chicken breast in lightly salted water until tender.
Line a large flat-bottomed bowl (or pan) with cling film - this will make it easier to turn the salad over. Place marinated champignons on the bottom, caps down.
Finely chop the dill and place on top of the mushrooms.
Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and place in the next layer. Cover the top with a mesh of mayonnaise.
The next layer is finely grated carrots and mayonnaise again.
Also grate hard cheese on a fine grater and place in the next layer.
Cut the eggs into cubes (or grate them on a fine grater like other products) and place them in the next layer. Cover the top with a mesh of mayonnaise.
Grate the potatoes on a fine grater, and grate the pickles on the same grater. Place them in the last layers and brush with mayonnaise.
Cover everything with a flat plate and carefully turn the salad bowl over so that the mushrooms are on top.
“Mushroom Glade” salad is ready! It can be served immediately! Bon appetit!
Mushrooms from a stump
Many owners of country houses when purchasing a plot are faced with a common problem - tree stumps stick out in several places and spoil the view. Uprooting the stump of a large tree is not at all easy. But many summer residents have found a simple solution to this problem - they create crafts on the theme of “mushrooms”, in which the stump becomes the stem of a mushroom.
To turn a large stump into a decorative element, you need to clear it of bark and sand the surface. Then you can draw a cheerful face on the resulting leg, and attach an inverted basin of a suitable shape on top. It can be painted brown with acrylic paint.
Birch stumps make wonderful fly agarics. There is no need to remove the bark from a birch stump - it imitates the leg of a fly agaric. A small red basin with painted white spots is attached to a cut of a stump, turning it into a fly agaric.
If the stump is very thick, you can turn it into a house for a mushroom family. You need to paint the cut with green paint and attach the moss to it.
Honey mushrooms are imitated by gluing small pebbles painted in different shades of beige or brown. Pebbles form mushroom stems.

In addition, the irregularities and folds that will cover the surface of the concrete workpiece will be similar to the irregularities of real mushrooms. Next, the stem and cap of the mushroom are painted with acrylic paint, connected to each other and installed in the chosen location.
