What type of glue works best for making honeycomb mushroom decorations?

School glue or tacky glue are the best options for making DIY paper mushrooms, because they dry clear and provide a strong hold. Tacky glue is slightly thicker, which helps keep the paper in place while drying, while school glue offers a smoother application. For extra precision, especially when applying small glue lines, use a fine-tip glue applicator to ensure clean and even adhesion.

What type of paper works best for making honeycombed mushrooms?

We recommend using regular printer paper for your paper mushroom, especially if you’re crafting with kids. The flexibility of printer paper works well for creating the honeycomb pattern. You can also use cardstock, but keep in mind that it’s less flexible than regular paper. Because it’s thicker, you may need extra folded pieces to help the mushroom cap open fully and get that nice rounded shape. Scrapbook paper is another fun option since it comes in lots of colours and patterns. Just like cardstock, though, it’s heavier than printer paper, so you might need a few more pieces to get a full honeycomb effect.

How else can I decorate my paper mushrooms?

There are lots of ways to make this mushroom craft your own. Here are few fun ideas:

Change up the look of your honeycomb mushrooms by using patterned paper. Add different embellishments instead of spots, such as stars, hearts, or jewels. Place a fairy sticker on the cap to create a cute woodland scene. Paint the edges of the honeycomb design with glitter glue or glitter paint for some extra sparkle and texture.

This paper honeycomb mushroom craft is a quirky and colourful way to bring a little forest flair indoors! The honeycomb structure is surprisingly easy to make, and the finished result looks totally professional. Whether you’re decorating for a party, setting up a fairy garden display, or just enjoying an afternoon of crafting, these mushrooms are definitely a whimsical win!
