Alice in wonderland decor- paper mâché mushrooms - part 1

I am designing our camp at Midburn - Israel's regional Burning Man festival... Our theme- Alice in Wonderland... So first project : paper mâché mushrooms...
I just looked around my house for things to use as a base for the project and found many items that can be used as the mushroom stalk- a cardboard poster roll, whisky bottle box - here I am using some plastic florist containers as I found them 3 years ago on the side of the street and am finally using them - for something! I turn them upside down- then just used a plastic plate at the base for the top of the mushroom. I then duct taped the play to the container.


Next I wanted to give the mushroom some more height, so I used some EVA foam that I had lying around. 


Then I filled it out on the edges with newspaper and duct taped it all on



Now it's ready for stage 2: paper mâché
Watch this space!
