Paper
Use any kraft paper you fancy. We used a selection of eco friendly double sided papers from the fabulous Cascayde – on trend peach and rose pink and beautiful pale green and light khaki.
Paint
Acrylic paints works well and we used a mixture of different complementary shades. Metallic gold, rose gold, and copper looked great on the peach and pale pink papers. And we loved the contrast of pale baby pink mushroom outlines on the green kraft paper too.
Mushroom Cookie Cutter
Obviously you can use any mushroom shaped cookie cutter you can find, or even free-hand the outlines. But we really liked this cookie cutter duo set. Just be sure to wash them regularly as you stamp to avoid permanently staining the cutters.
Design Ideas
It’s fun to play around with different mushroom wrapping paper designs.
- Different paint colours.
- Mixing up the size of mushroom stamp used.
- A free-flowing pattern or neat lines of stamped mushroom shapes.
