DIY Mushroom Garland -  Step 1 Drill Hole

STEP 1

Drill a hole that is not as deep as your screw eyelet.

TIP

The drill bit size should be slightly smaller than the girth of your screw eye pin. I used a 1/16” drill bit. I also used a painter tape to guide my drill so that I didn’t go too deep.

STEP 2

Twist a screw eyelet into the hole until fastened.

TIP

I used slip joint plier to grip the screw eyelet once it was stable so it was easier on my hands to tighten all the way.

STEP 3

Cut wire based keeping in mind how much space you want between each mushroom or other items. String wire though each eye pin.

TIP

To keep each mushroom in place, wrap the wire and tighten around the screw eyelet. I find using the wire gave a cleaner look and also provided more control over the placement of the garland. I feel like using a piece of wire would be better for this DIY because the garland doesn’t dip where the mushrooms are heavy.
