Instead of using tissues and bent up antenna fill the mushroom cup with transparent silicone. Then gently push the stem with LED in. Not all the way up but only to cover the LED. Let dry. This is much easier and you get better water resistance if using in garden. DIY thanks for all your lovely tips and trix!

The main feature being a tree hollow with bedding to make a reading nook. I want to have these mushroom lights all over the room and especially in the hollow to act as reading lights. I want to get lost in my book as the day dims, and when I look up be transported to a magical forest of books. You're videos are amazing. You are amazing!

There are three completely different projects involved in doing that. First, and probably easiest, is to make an 'outdoors-proof' set of mushroom lights. Second, is a solar collection and storage system to provide power, which means panels, batteries, and a charge controller of some kind. And third is the light controlled switch to power them on. You would probably want all this to be a fairly high efficiency, since the amount of battery required to run the lights determines the amount of solar panel you would need to charge them. That might get a little complex for the average DIYer, and could add up to a bit of money. However, those solar light stakes with a crude version of all that built into them already might be a thought. Just open them up, solder wires between the LED and the pads it connects to, then make mushroom lights using the led from the stake-light -without adding a resistor- or substitute an equivalent LED of your preferred color, and use one nearby solar-stake for each 'mushroom'. Not an elegant solution, but it would be cheap and simple.

@gregory9112

7 жыл бұрын

You can use a solar light strip and simply cut the strip down (or use those for the mushrooms) and connect the solar panel, which includes everything that's needed. silicon is waterproof itself, so I think you can use outside, but I would put somewhere protected. I've been thinking of this, probably I will try. For now I have a battery supplied brown mushroom set.

Very cool video but you gotta be careful what silicone you use as the most common 100% silicone contractor stuff has a powerful acid in it that corrodes metal and if it gets on the resistors legs it will can structure failure where they snap. So be sure to wrap any exposed metal parts with electrical tape or something to prevent your wires from eroding😁😁😁

I wanted to thank you. You inspired me to make those lights on my own as name badges on a event. I made approximately 30 individual working lights and it looked just awesome. So thank you very very much to do this project, so that I could look a few steps up.

Oh I’m so glad u have this. The generic Amazon ones are full of reviews that they catch on fire (not to mention look worse). Saves me so much extra intellectual labor ty!

I made some! And they look cool! I made a few mistakes, they are too big, and thus too heavy and needed to be supported by some hidden pins, but overall I am very pleased. I used 20g silicon to 1g cerulean blue, and they are BRIGHT blue. I needed a croccy clippy helping hands thingy (which is used but not mentioned in the video) to do the soldering. Next time I will make the stems neater and thinner, and use wire coloured to match the silicon for the wire to the led so that it is less visible within the stem. Great video, Thanks!

I always love how good your projects work/look. With a lot of DIY projects the end result looks kind of amateurish. Your projects on the other hand look really professional! I can't wait for your next video!

For those who may be having trouble with the Silicone they've selected and needing to know how long till it dries/cures: One thing that isn't explained in this video is the type of Silicone to use. Based upon a question found in the comments (How is the Silicone going to cure when it's in airtight clear wrap?) and someones kind gesture to help clear up the confusion, here is the basic run down: There are three types of Silicone: -- ACIDIC: Generally identified by a Vinegar type smell during the curing process - cures the quickest. Most of these type of Silicones are what they call RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanizing). However, not all RTV Silicone products dry quickly as they fall into the Neutral category. Sometimes the acidic Silicones are labeled as "Acid Cure" or "Acetoxy Cure". MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for Silicones that fall into the Acidic category should list "Acetic acid" either under "Ingredients" or under "Oder".. or both. It may also list Acetoxy and/or RTV on the MSDS. Can take up to a few hours to dry/cure if in Cling/Saran/Plastic Wrap. -- NEUTRAL: In some of the Silicone products I've researched in this category, the Odor listed was "slight", but nothing specific. One sure way to identify a Silicone in this category is to look for Oxime in the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). Can take up to a day to dry/cure if in Cling/Saran/Plastic Wrap. -- BASIC: Generally identified by an Ammonia or Alcohol/Methanol type smell as it cures - cures the longest. MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for Silicones that fall into the Basic category will more than likely list "Methyltrimethoxysilane" under Ingredients (needs to be higher than 1-5%) and "Ammonia" or "Amine" under Oder. Can take between 3 to 7 days or more to dry/cure if in Cling/Saran/Plastic Wrap. Based on this information, you should be able to identify the Silicone you purchased and the possible dry/cure time. Bottom line here, is that any Clear Silicone should work, but some may take longer to dry than others. NOTE: Home Depot does have the MSDS for each of their Silicone products, but the link to the MSDS is listed as SDS instead. This can be found by clicking on a specific product, then scrolling down till you see *Product Overview* directly under the product you're viewing. Usually you will see some additional pictures, but eventually you should see "Info & Guides", where the MSDS is located (the link to click on should be labeled as *SDS* ). Alternatively, you can hit ctrl + f (on a windows machine) to open a search, and you can enter either *Info & Guides* or *SDS* . Also, don't be confused if the name on the MSDS does not match the name Home Depot is selling the product under. I assure you it is for the same product. If you're still not sure, one of the easiest ways to verify is to go to Google or Bing or whatever search engine you use, then follow this format: BrandNameOfProduct Model# MSDS Example: GE HD612 24C MSDS I find the Model # by going to the product page and looking directly above the image of the product. You can also search the entire page (on a Windows machine, CTRL+F will work in Chrome, IE, and FireFox) for the word Model. You should see something similar to: DAP | Model # 08791 | Internet # 206046715 | Store SKU # 1001392668 Not all Model #s on Home Depots website can be used via a Google search using the above example of: BrandNameOfProduct Model# MSDS. This is mainly because it's going under a different name in the MSDS and may have to rely the MSDS Home Depot provides. Sometimes the MSDS isn't clear on what kind of Silicone you're looking up, as in, none of the identifying items is listed. I generally skip these. If you already bought the Silicone, the only way to find out is to test. If you don't have a Home Depot near you, or for whatever reason want to use Lowes, finding the MSDS on their Silicone products will be different. You'll need to grab the Model # of the product, which is usually located on the product page to the right of the image of the product. Once you get the Model #, go to this website and enter it as a *PRODUCT CODE* : secureweb.infotrac.net/msds/lowesforpros.aspx. Sometimes, if when using the Lowes link I provided doesn't find anything, but you entered something like *Model **#LW012A* , you may have to drop everything BUT the *LW012A* to find what you're looking for. Once your search finds something, to the very left of the item name will be an icon that looks like a piece of paper with a magnifying glass over it. This is what you want to click for the MSDS. Here is a list of some of the Silicone products carried by Home Depot, broken out into 1 of the 3 categories (I don't just list the Clear products, so be very aware of this when looking over the list... I do this so one can search the MSDS and become familiar with identifying one of the three types of Silicone): ACIDIC -- All Purpose Silicone I 10.1-oz.

You want Acidic first and foremost, but Neutral can work -- you just need to remember the dry time may be longer. Kinda surprised that the link I gave above, for Lowe's product code search, still works. As far as I can tell, the info I gave about Home Depot's website is mostly accurate. When you see the product on their website, you just keep scrolling down until you see "Product Info"... then to the right of that is a box that says "Info & Guides"... and this is where it differs. There isn't a "MSDS" link anymore, but there is a "SDS" link. This is what you're looking for..

These mushroom creations are just so gorgeous.I' m going to get out the solder and give it a go.Thanks.

Thank you for sharing that charming and magical idea. It is just stunning.

I don't know why but,I feel soo emotional after watching this.

Hey all, I'm a bit late in on this group hug but I have to agree it made me quite emotional seeing such evocative nature recreated so beautifully too, I've got to try this! Anyone else inspired enough to give it a go?...

That was much more complicated than I anticipated. Great ideas and one more reason to buy a soldering iron. Might just make the caps with that pointless clear silicone I mistakenly bought and put a cheapo flameless candle inside til I can do all the hard stuff. subscribing because you're lush. You can brighten up my day and tell me about things I can't do without slightly electrocuting myself :) thank you for the information. I love mushrooms

not a bad idea either... you could also get hollow Styrene sheet round tubing, then carefully heat it from a distance (paintstripper of hairdryers, even warm/hot water might work) then carefully bent into shape and let cool down to cure :) for making the stems i mean...

Those look brilliant. Haven't soldered for years, but I think this is the project to get me going again. I've a lovely shard of silver birch for it too.

Mr DIY Perks, you are an awesome and remarkable person. Your projects are amazing.

Made these! So proud of my glowing white mushrooms and my boyfriends lovely fire red ones. The project was at times frustrating but the end product definately made up for it. Going to take them on a camping trip this weekend. Thank you! From Cape Town South Africa

No mine are white like in the picture. Perhaps you bought Golden/off white LEDS? _lh3.googleusercontent.com/cGpa46IJgXiRz8Va1jURCSKOR0zDGIMzIw73yy1yf2934EVXirgJQ3qvrDLL8ZS0i5I0oXB_Cg_

No, I left mine for a couple of hours and then it was dry and came off the cling wrap easily. Maybe you need to let it dry over night?

LOVED the video, the way you shoot and love your voice! Great work.

I have to say. After watching so many of your videos over several years period... first, this is the first comment I’ve left. Usually don’t leave comments, just Bc I feel they’re never seen. Except by people who want to argue with the comment. And second, I keep coming back to you and your channel, for a few main reasons.. you are very laid back. Calm. Thoughtful. You come off very very nice. You’re projects are extremely thought out, doable for a wide range of people, aren’t insanely expensive, and easy to replicate. And it literally feels like a breath of fresh air after watching any of your videos. I guess, what I’m saying. Is you’re awesome, your videos are awesome, and I don’t leave comments very often. So I guess that might mean a little something. Lol. Keep it up bud! I couldn’t imagine KZread or project-life/ideas/diy without you.

I've watched this twice now and I just love it so much. I really want to try making some but have no experience with electrical things or soldering.

"Mooshroom lights!" 👏love the accent! This looks like a real cute project.

You should see how it would look if you hacked solar patio lights from the Dollar Store - you could hang a bung of these in a garden or patio to create a very cool mood. Spray some sealant on the wood to protect it from moisture - that would be awesome! Great video! Thanks so much!

WOW! 😯 These are absolutely fantastic! I must say, I can’t wait to try this project out myself. I already LOVE spending time in my garden, and having these magical-looking my shoes dotted around the yard is going to look really amazing! 👍🏼😊

Just tried my hand at these lights. Such a great project! Thanks for the video!

Great job! Beautiful creation. Thank you!! 🌷

I'm definitely using this video to help wire leds into cosplay armor, i also really want to make the mushrooms they are so cute, probably the most easy to follow led tutorial I've come across so far tbh

You can also mix type1 silicone with corn starch and food coloring to make a putty that is hand molded. You can use latex gloves and powder your hand with more cornstarch to reduce the mess. Absent the cornstarch and you'll have translucent colors. Included in it and you'll have opaque coloring. Great video for a cool diy display.

I say this a lot about DIY but this time I seriously am going to make this. It would make the perfect gift for my grandparents up north house. All of the decor is nature/forest themed, it would fit in so well.

Wow, just wow. This would look so damn nice in a terrarium I love it .

Fun and nice! :) (You've got a very smoothing voice and are very easy to understand for those of us whom are not native English speakers so thanks for that too :) )

I finished mine today and they turned out great! Thanks for the tutorial!

Brilliant! Thank you for taking the time to show us this project

This is awesome!! I'm going to make mine like jellyfish against a coral backing. Thanks!

this has to be the most beautiful diy project I've ever seen

First time watching this channel,already fell in love... Subscribed!!

Didn't know I needed this until now

This is such a mesmerizing piece of DIY work.

Whoa! Excellent diy, brilliant instructions along the video. What a sophisticated offering altogether! Love it!!

You know how awesome a channel must be to make you hit the subscribe button within the first three seconds of the video :D

Hey Matt, I just want you to know, this is the MOST inspiring channel I have encountered on youtube so far! Thank you!

I like what you've done here, not just in the result but as a whole, well done.

Dear Mister Very Intelligent and Rather Attractive British Man, You are why Americans believe everyone with a British accent. Thank you. I think. Sincerely, WhirlyGirl

Omg!? Fantastic!! Thankyou for an awesome tutorial. Very well done indeed. I feel I could make them and I'm no electronic person what so ever. The math just goes straight over my head. But I will be saving this video for when I move & get my craft shop room done & I will have all the space that will give my the patience to do this. I am a mushroom FANATIC. Always have been. I just love them. I have jars & jars of dried & pickled wild mushrooms, which you can put a tea light behind & it looks pretty cool. I've seen products like these through out my life but they've always been SO expensive. I am SO going to make this, in the not toooooo distant future. Thankyou very mush🍄 I might even just have a go at making some just out of silicone with wire inside, just cause🙌🏽🍄✨😊

Young man. This is an absolutely beautiful and magical idea. Thank you. I can see this in my future, perhaps even in one of my terrariums.

Thumbs up for this Nice project and your excellent explanation. Thank you very much especially for explaining how to determine the required resistors for LEDs in different projects as well as your shared chart for the approximate current and voltage for different colors of LEDs. Thanks for sharing and for everything you did in this project. ;-)

great work and your narrative skills are awsome as well

I'm putting these all over my room. They're awesome!

Such a great project ...even so relaxing to watch! ...I'll be doing mine even with one LED, because the entire process looks so creatively relaxing. Thanks
