Moss Decor: Easy DIY’s for Any Season

When it comes to moss, whether reindeer moss, sheet moss, moss balls, or a DIY wreath. Incorporating natural elements such as moss and dried lavender buds on a grapevine wreath is stunning and adds the perfect touch for spring or fall! The color combination works for any design style and home decor. This blog post shares the easy steps! 

Craft Supplies Needed: Hurry! Create a DIY Wreath in Minutes!

  • straw wreath – Michaels stores or Hobby Lobby
  • self-stick moss – Hobby Lobby, Michaels stores, or Amazon
  • scissors
  • hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • tiny sticks – (optional)

Step 1: Prep Your Supplies and Cut the Moss Strips 

First, lay out your craft supplies, sheet moss, wreath, and scissors. Originally, I planned to use this straw wreath for another craft project but I didn’t, hence why it is painted brown. Cut your strip of moss. I cut each strip of moss approximately four inches wide.

Pro Tip: If you choose to use a wire. Wrap the wreath frame with burlap ribbon. Add a little bit of hot glue to the end of the ribbon and hold it to set. Wrap the wire wreath frame and a dot of hot glue to the other end. Hold it to set. 

Step 2: Wrapping the Wreath with Strips of Moss

Take the first strip of moss and carefully remove the backing. Sticky moss is extremely sticky, I wanted to share that little bit of information, so it may stick to your fingers. No worries, just lightly pull and it comes right off. The best part this moss is so sticky there’s no need for glue when using a straw wreath.  Add the moss strip to the and smooth each section. Save any extra pieces. These will be added to the wreath to fill the bare spots.

Pro Tip: If you are using a foam wreath form, I recommend using a low-temperature setting and adding a little bit of hot glue before adding each strip of moss. The strips of moss will not stick to a foam wreath. This is where my crafting comes in handy. I have done this with foam in the past for another easy project. The strips of moss came off. So, learn from my mistakes. My job is to share this information, so your craft projects work well.

Cindy’s Note: I forgot to take a picture removing the backing of the moss. This photo is from another project. Take a look at how to make a plate wreath damage-free! It’s a simple DIY wreath project!

Step 3: Working with Self-Stick Moss – No Glue Needed!

The next step is optional; however, it adds a perfect touch and rustic charm to the wreath. After gathering small sticks from our backyard, I broke them into small pieces and added a little bit of glue to each stick to make a small nest. This is an easy way to incorporate more natural elements into the wreath. Add a small feather for the final perfect touch. Feel free to add small silk flowers or strips of jute twine or leave your wreath plain. Babies breathe or small rose buds are also an easy way to add a little bit of nature.

Step 4: Displaying Your Moss Wreath

Hang your DIY wreath on the front door with ribbon, jute twine, or a wreath hanger.  It’s an easy way to welcome a new season and guests to your front porch.

Cindy’s Note: This wreath is the perfect spring wreath! It can be used from spring through fall.

What can I use sheet moss for?

Sheet moss, especially sticky moss, is simple to work with for any easy project. Cutting strips of moss with scissors is easy. Simply peel the baking off and add it to any craft project. The best part, this moss can be used both outdoors and indoors without any concerns.

  • Straw Wreath: Cover the wreath with cut strips of moss to add natural elements to any place in your home. Save extra pieces to fill in the bare spots. Add faux flowers or succulent cuttings for a pop of color and add it to the front door.
  • Sticky Moss: Cover old cans to make a vase with self-stick moss. This is such a great way to keep items from the compost heap and recycle bin. This moss vase is an easy way to create centerpieces to add to a coffee table or dining room table for the spring. And I share this project and it takes moments!
  • Moss Sheets: These are an easy way to add nature to flower pots – terracotta flower pots are easy to add to wreaths and add rustic charm. It makes the perfect spring wreath! Save the extra pieces to fill in the bare spots. And the best part I share this in this blog post! This easy project uses floral wire and no glue! Add floral foam with a dot of hot glue to the bottom of the flower pots. Push high-quality silk flowers wrapped with floral wire into the flower posts. Hang this DIY wreath on a front door or front porch.

Rustic DIY Decor: Moss Wreaths, Centerpieces & More

  • Pretty Moss Wreaths: Add sticky moss to a small foam wreath frame or a small grapevine wreath to create a set of pretty moss wreaths. Hang these from the back of chairs at a dining table. This is a great way to add and works with any.
  • Centerpiece: Create a focal point on a coffee table or dining room table. Add reindeer moss to a dough bowl or flower pots. Add daffodils to a large bowl filled with Styrofoam and surround them with moss. This will make them look like the real thing. Here’s a direct link for yellow or white daffodils
  • Terracotta Flower Pots: Love terracotta flower pots? Visit this blog post to make these with lime. An easy and natural aging technique.

Can you put preserved moss outside?

Moss, including reindeer moss and moss sheets, can be used both outdoors and indoors without any concerns.

What is an easy way to use Moss?

Preserved moss can last for years, here are some common uses:

  • Preserved moss wall art from Terrarium Tribe – the best this is an easy craft that uses mood moss, moss sheets, and reindeer moss. Great tutorial! I have seen moss wall art with faux succulent cuttings too. Visit Cottage On Bunkerhill.  Jennifer shares a wonderful tutorial and it’s perfect for any design style!
  • Add moss to potted flowers and floral silk flowers as a focal point on a coffee table or dining room table.
  • Read and learn a great way and easy craft to make silk flowers look real and it takes three minutes to make and few craft supplies. 

Cindy’s Note: These projects use hot glue. Use caution when using a glue gun. Keep children and pets from getting tangled in the cord and out of reach to avoid burns.
