How to: DIY Moss Art Kit

Hooray! You received your kit! These instructions are here to help guide you along the way but you certainly don't need to follow them exactly. The joy of creating a moss art piece (or any kind of art, really) comes from the magic of letting your heart and your hands guide you - not your brain. I hope the time you take to create your own unique piece of joy shows you just how important it is to let your creativity take root, even if only for this hour.

Step One

Before you begin, check the hook or stand placement on the back and confirm (or decide if you have the option to do so) your frame’s orientation (which way it's going to stand or hang on the wall).

Step Two

If you're using bark, I recommend arranging it on your frame first and glueing it down with either hot glue or (preferably) wood glue. Then, you'll build up your moss around it.

Step Three

Let loose and glue your moss and flowers in any design that speaks to you! If it helps, you can consider color and contrast, as well as height and depth, in your process of building out your piece.

I do recommend craft glue for flowers and leaves that are more delicate.

Step Four

When you think you’re done, carefully pull away hot glue tails and check your piece from multiple angles to ensure you haven’t missed any spots.

Hold your piece over a garbage can or take it outside to lightly tap the back and shake out all the loose dirt and moss.

Step Five

Marvel at your masterpiece and send me a pic via instagram (@reclaimed.gardens) or email (hello@regrdns.com)!

Thank you!

I hope you enjoyed making your own piece as much as I do!
