DIY moss wreath
We’ve never diyed a wreath before, so decided to keep it simple.
We got a cheap styrofoam base at a local craft supplies store,
and collected some moss in the woods. You could buy some fake moss if you want to make a reusable wreath. When you collect your own moss, make sure to remove as much of the dirt as possible before moving on to the next step.
Once your moss is relatively clean, go get your trusted glue gun and start applying glue to a small part of your styrofoam base just like this:
Don’t skimp on the glue and add one patch of moss quickly before the glue dries.
Repeat until your wreath is mostly covered. Then proceed to fill in any areas that aren’t fully covered with smaller patches of moss.
Oh, and don’t make a huge mess on your floor like we did. You should always, always work on a big piece of cardboard when moss is involved. Trust me, I’ve learned the hard way:
Now, you could leave the wreath as it is. You can achieve quite dramatic effects due to its simplicity and great colour.
However, we decided to add some decorations to our wreath. We added some ribbon and a felt deer using pins to secure everything.
To hang the wreath, we wrapped the same ribbon around the top of our wreath, again using pins to keep it in place.
And finally, the wreath is ready to be hung!
