All In The Details: Moss Wreath



Hello All! Since I don't have professional pictures back yet, I figured I'd share some of the projects I ended up completing before the wedding. Originally, I wanted to have moss covered letters to hang somewhere at our venue. Then I stumbled upon a cute little blog that gave me this great idea.


I started with everything pictured above. First, I spray painted the letter with grey spray paint. Since grey was one of our wedding colors, I used that color. Feel free to use whatever color you want. Next I started grabbing clumps of moss and hot gluing them to the grapevine wreath.

*Note: spray glue would've been easier* I would suggest laying down some newspaper because the moss got everywhere and my allergies didn't like it too much.


Once all the moss was on, it was time to attach the "R". This was the tricky part, I wish I would've thought about how I was attaching before I had glued all the moss on. I ended up tapping small nails into the back side of the "R" and wrapping floral wire around them. Then I strung the wire through the moss and wreath and tightened it around itself. It seemed to hold just fine. I also decided to add a nest with yellow birds in it. I thought it was a cute addition.  

This was a pretty easy craft. It only took me about 2 hours to complete. It was rather messy but wasn't too bad to clean up. On our wedding day, we ended up hanging it from the door that lead into the Farm House.
