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…..

Junk into Topiaries

It’s time for Spring, even if Spring doesn’t know it yet! I guess I really can’t complain, with our lows in the 30’s I know it could be a LOT worse! Still, I am so in the mood for warm weather and beautiful springy colors! Let the Spring projects begin!

I bought these gold urns at a thrift store, as I was paying for them the cashier broke one. She felt so bad, she obviously didn’t know that something as little as this wouldn’t stop me! I got a discount out of it though!

A little bit of Gorilla Epoxy to glue the pieces back together and we were back in business. I used some Gorilla Tape to clamp the pieces together until the epoxy was good and dry. I gave them a paint job, flat black would work much better than shiny gold!

After I found a couple sticks that would work I assembled the topiaries. I purchased the moss balls from Michael’s. They were only $1 more than a plain styrofoam ball, add in a coupon and it’s not too bad.

Here they are on top of my hutch. As you can see I’ve started breaking out my other Spring decor as well. I think it will take some tweaking before I figure out how I want everything in the new house.

They look super cute next to the moss monogram art. I don’t know that they will stay here though….but for now it’s their home.

Burlap, Moss, and a Monogram

For whatever reason I had these three elements in my head and thought it would make a cute wall hanging. I sometimes wonder where these ideas come from? There are times when I see things that other people have made and I want to duplicate it, other times I just have these ideas pop in my head and I can’t seem to shake them. I think this project came about by seeing different elements of a bunch of different projects, it all melded in my mind and I came up with this….

First I needed a large oval frame. Do you know how hard it is to find an oval frame??? I searched thrift store after thrift store, thinking surely….eventually I would find ONE. Nope. I finally found an oval mirror for $11 and change at Big Lots! In my haste to start this project I of course forgot to take the elusive “before” picture of the frame. So I quickly snapped this shot of the back of the frame so you can see the “lovely” gold color that it originally was. I primed and painted the frame a matte black….it was a vast improvement!

I then gathered all my other supplies. I used Mod Podge to attach burlap to the front of the removable back of the frame. I also used Mod Podge to attach the moss to the “C” monogram.

All I needed to do next was attach the “C” to the burlap board with hot glue and put the backing back in the frame. I added a simple black ribbon and called it done.

I am very happy with it and have it hanging over my HUTCH ! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
