Hate Winter? Love Spring? If you answered YES to both of these questions then you are not alone. This moss covered arrangement is sure to bring some of the outdoors in with a pop of brightness. It is definitely the perfect way to welcome Spring! Plus it’s easy to make and looks much more expensive.
*Just a side note in case you are wondering. I went shopping this weekend at TJ Maxx and saw all the beautiful potted plants they had with succulents and hydrangeas and many more. I couldn’t wait to make my own floral arrangement but instead use moss for an arrangement that I could essentially leave out all year long.
Moss Covered Arrangement
Supplies:
- Moss
- Styrofoam or small ball- I used a 6” ball.
- Planter– I found mine at the dollar store so you just can’t beat the price.
- Mod podge
- Foam brush
- Skewer
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
*Let me first say that Styrofoam and moss can be pricey so be sure to use a coupon if you buy it at a craft store or even check at your local dollar store where I usually find mine.
Place a skewer on the bottom of your styrofoam ball to make it easier to hold while you place the moss.
Using a foam brush, paint the mod podge over the entire ball.
Place the moss or sprinkle it over the entire ball until it is completely covered. *I recommend doing this over newspaper as it can become messy. Plus you can reuse the moss that doesn’t stick.
You may also want to use hot glue gun to keep any stubborn spots glued down better.
Remove the skewer and place the ball in the planter.
You are now ready to display your arrangement and add some color to your space. I placed mine around my garden tub after I recently made over my master bathroom. It works perfectly to bring a little bit of nature inside.
This project cost me about $4.00 to actually make. How affordable is that? Plus you can make more and different sizes to use throughout other areas in your house.
