I am a self proclaimed moss addict. Okay maybe not an addict but I love love moss. It’s earthy yet can be so modern. I love moss year round really but Spring is really the best time for great moss projects. This time of year you are bound to see some of this earthy green mossyness floating around Pinterest and blogland.

I decided to round up 10 Awesome DIY Moss Projects to share with you today. I’m sharing some of my own mossy creations and some other fantastic moss project that I’ve spotted around. Hope you enjoy…..

My Spring Mantel {Updated}

A couple years ago (wow has it been that long???) I created my moss covered Spring Mantel. Well as I usually do, I got restless and decided that this year it needed a little change up!!! I seem to actually reject anything that remains the same for too long, it’s probably the military wife in me. On any account….here’s My Spring Mantel {Updated}!!!

I was kinda over the bunnies that I have used in years past. Can’t really tell ya why….the bunnies are cute and all but they needed to go! A little color was needed on the mantel, so I decided to add some faux robin’s eggs to a glass apothecary jar. There is also a little nest nestled next to the apothecary jar with a few more eggs.

I added my two Moss Birdhouses that I made a couple weeks ago. Because we obviously needed more moss around here right??? Right. They look perfect next to my Moss Wreath.

Now my Spring Mantel contains some of my most favorite Springtime things: moss, birdhouses, nests, and robin’s eggs.

Moss Birdhouses

The weather here is gorgeous. The sun is shining, the wild flowers are blooming, and Spring seems to have already arrived. All these changes have put me in the mood for some Spring crafting. I have always been a huge fan of moss, but this year I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be making several appearances. I couldn’t contain myself anymore and decided to create some Moss Birdhouses.

I picked up a couple craft wood birdhouses at the craft store. I decided to grab two different sizes, I figured they would look nice sitting next to each other on a shelf.

Using some white craft paint, I painted the birdhouses except the roofs. I figured since you wouldn’t be able to see them there was no point in painting them. I ended up doing a couple coats of paint to completely cover the wood.

Then it was time to break out the roll of moss. Warning to those who have not used sheet moss before: it will get messy!!! The awesome thing about it is the mesh backing. It makes it easy to measure out the exact size you need and cut it to fit.

I cut out the exact size of sheet moss that I needed and used some hot glue to attach it to the roof of the birdhouse. Be careful with this step. It’s very easy to burn your fingers with hot glue through the moss. Trust me.

Your left with two super adorable moss covered birdhouses!!! Easy right??? But so beautiful and just perfect for Spring!!!

These turned out exactly how I had them pictured in my head. Now to find them a home! I just love these sweet little Moss Birdhouses!!! Don’t you???
