moss topiaries tutorial





these are my moss topiaries!!
they took kinda a long time to make because i had to hot glue all of the moss on
but it think they were worth the time!



first i went to the craft store and got some foam balls, Terra cotta pots, and moss
i got the branch from my backyard and i already had the paint
i think the moss was the most expensive. it was $6 a bag! which i think is just absolutely ridiculous
i guess im going to have to start growing my own moss! haha



the moss is real and it smells really weird. just a warning!
if i were to do this again i would do it outside because the smell was making me nauseated



first i painted the pots and put them outside to dry
then i hot glued the moss to the foam balls
and finally i attached the balls with twigs in my backyard!
this project altogether probably took about an hour

cute and easy bird houses tutorial











i got these in the unfinished wood section of micheals.

i bought 2 birdhouses, 2 candlestick holders, and 2 wooden plaques.
then i spray-painted them and waited until they dried
when they were done drying i hot glued them all together.
its so easy, huh?
