What You'll Need:
1 Clay pot (any size)
1 Wooden frog decoration (available at Dollar Tree)
Faux flowers in assorted colors
Mini mushrooms (available at Dollar Tree)
Acrylic paints & brushes
Hot glue gun & glue sticks
Moss or faux greenery (optional)
1. Prep Your Clay Pot
I repurposed a clay pot and saucer from previous craft endeavors for this project. The saucer was pre-painted, with craft moss attached for texture. If you're starting fresh, use adhesive to secure the saucer to the pot's base. Once flipped upside down, the saucer sits on top while the pot’s opening faces downward. Paint both pieces, and once they’re dry, add craft moss to the saucer for a natural feel.
2. Paint the Wooden Frog
I used floral cutters to remove the wooden stick attached to the frog, as I wanted only the frog itself. Using a small sponge brush, I applied dark green paint to give the frog a lively and natural look.
3. Decorate the Mini Mushrooms
I incorporated three wooden mushrooms into the design, painting them in warm, earthy tones: orange, brown, green, and bronze for a woodland-inspired effect.
4. Add Decorative Details
I painted delicate green vines on the pot to enhance the garden aesthetic and accented them with small purple flower blossoms. Then, I attached the frog, mushrooms, and artificial flowers to the saucer using hot glue to ensure they stay securely in place.
Your frog garden decoration is ready to shine! Display it in a cozy corner, a tiered tray, or as a charming accent on your mantel. This delightful DIY is affordable and simple to create and brimming with charm!
This is so adorable! I love the frog and the tiny mushrooms!
