On the First Day of Christmas...

...I made a moss wreath.

In an earlier post saying how I was dying to pull out the Christmas decorations I mentioned that I wanted to try my hand at making my own moss wreath. Well, I gave it a shot!

The work in progress.

Supplies for making your own wreath:
1 wreath form (mine is a 20inch)
1 bag of sheet moss ($4 at Hobby Lobby)
1 bag or box of Reindeer Moss (Smith and Hawken, Pottery Barn, or a wholesale florist)
Hot glue gun and plenty of glue sticks
Ribbon

Instructions: (pretty self-explanitory)
Glue the sheet moss on first. Glue in patches and fill in the spaces with the reindeer moss. Make a bow with your ribbon and attach!


Here is the finished product hanging above our fireplace. I think the result speaks for itself!
