Instructions

1. Prepare the wooden base or shallow tray by cleaning it and ensuring it is dry. 2. Position the LED fairy lights on the base, placing the mushroom caps where desired. Secure them in place with hot glue. 3. Add moss around the bases of the mushrooms to create a forest floor effect, gluing it down as needed. 4. Place miniature plants in various spots around the mushrooms for added greenery. 5. Cut lengths of fishing line or acrylic rods to desired lengths for the rain effect. 6. Attach clear beads or droplets to the end of each line/rod to mimic raindrops. Secure the other end to the base or a higher point, allowing them to dangle. 7. If desired, paint details on the mushroom caps for added whimsy, then let them dry. 8. Once everything is in place, insert batteries into the fairy lights and turn them on to enjoy the glowing effect. 9. Arrange any additional pebbles for a more natural look and adjust any elements for balance and aesthetics.
