Spring Moss Craft Decor
I am one of those people who likes to reuse things. I have a hard time throwing anything away that I think I might find a new use for or possibly craft something out of it…this drives my husband crazy! I can’t say I blame him! Anyway, I was down in the basement cleaning out and I came upon this moss craft St. Patrick’s Day Frame I created for my mantle. I was still admiring it and thought to myself…I’m sure it wouldn’t take much to change this up a little so I can enjoy it for Spring and Easter! Off I went to the craft store…
Just a few simple steps and I had this
Spring Moss Craft Decor
to place on the end table!
SUPPLIES
- Supermoss Instant Moss Mat Green
8″ x 10 Frame
Grape Hyacinth Bundle
- Hot Glue
Scissors
Masking Tape
(Please note that the Grape Hyacinth Bundle is not what is pictured)
The stems on my flower bunch was a little too long so I trimmed them with garden clippers and used floral tape to hold them together. I then took a few strands of raffia and wrapped that over the top of the tape tying the raffia in a bow.
First, I laid the moss mat over the top of the frame and cut it with scissors to fit the inside of the frame.
I decided the best way to attach the moss to the front of the frame was with hot glue. To make it easy to remove the glue (if I wanted to use the frame for something else) I placed masking tape on the glass in all four corners.
Then I put a dot of hot glue on the tape and pressed the moss mat firmly to the hot glue. In the past, I have been able to remove hot glue from glass, but to make it easy, this time, I can peel the masking tape off and the glue with it! Easy!
