It’s November! What?! Someone had to have hit the fast forward button on 2015 because I could have sworn that it was just January! Although I’m still scratching my head wondering where the time went, I am excited about the upcoming holiday season.
Today I’m sharing a fun and easy moss covered letter.
It’s a great way to bring a pop of nature to the interior but without all of the hassle of keeping a plant alive. This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.
Materials:
First off, you are definitely going to want to cover your work area with some newspaper because the moss gets everywhere. I like to apply the moss to the perimeter of my letter first and then fill in the center. I sprayed some adhesive onto the letter and let it sit for about a minute or until the glue became tacky.
Then I began to place pieces of the sheet moss onto where I applied the glue. You can cut the moss with scissors to get straighter edges but I found that just tearing off pieces was easier and sufficient.
After the perimeter was covered, I began to fill in the rest of the letter, using the same steps as above. Just spray, wait a minute and then apply your moss. Easy peasy.
When you’re done your hands will be covered in sticky moss. Just massage a little bit of vegetable oil on your hands and it will break up all of that glue so you’ll be able to wash your hands with soap as normal.
I decided to display mine under a glass cloche. I like how the rough, earthy texture of the moss is countered by the softness and sheen of the glass.
Cute, right? I love how it adds a bit of color to the room without the maintenance of a real plant.
