Craft Of The Week...

I've been real busy today but wanted to post a "craft of the week" so I whipped these puppies out real fast...


Here is a short moss tree...Yes, it is plain but I'm a simple kind of girl...To spice it up some add a bow to the bottom.


This is my tall moss tree once again add ribbon to spruce it up.



Here is the fabulous moss sheets that makes this project so easy. You can purchase these moss sheets at Joann's or Micheal's...Make sure to take your 40% off coupon this moss is spendy at around $8 a sheet.


Here are the supplies I used. Pretty simple. You take the sheet of moss and cut it (so easy to cut) to form around the Styrofoam cone. Use a hot glue gun to secure moss to form. This is really simple because the moss has a sticky netting on the back. The moss will come together easily in the back without showing a seam. Secure finished cone form onto a pot of any kind-Add holiday ribbon to your hearts desire or leave it just the way it is.

Being I didn't have a lot of time for my craft of the week my mom said she would show a couple of different Topiary Moss Trees on her blog...Click HERE to see. Thanks Mom I love your trees!
