First of all, I am super excited to announce that today I am being featured on Amy’s amazing blog, Mod Podge Rocks. She noticed a few of my decoupage projects and asked to do a feature. Well, duh…sure! Her site is jam packed with projects, ideas, and loads of inspiration. Check it out!
I said it in my Silver Bowl Moss Topiary post, I’ve been in a mossy mood lately. Several reasons. It’s cheap, it’s easy, it won’t die, and it looks fabulous. So, I promised I would give a tutorial on how to make the moss wreath hanging in my dining room and here it is…

Good morning! The moss covered wreath and topiaries fit my criteria of a great project…easy and inexpensive! Thanks for sharing the details.
Do you ever sleep???? You are one great project after another!
Thanks for all of your inspiration these past few months. I look forward to what's in store for 2010.

I love topiary trees. This would be a great project for me.
Love your mossy goodness! That is awesome!
Me like. I never would have thought of using the grapevine balls. But you thought styrofoam would've been easier?
As for boxwood branches, I became increasingly disappointed in my attempt at a boxwood topiary as the leaves dried up. Since I didn't have enough to begin with, it ended up looking even more sparse as the weeks went by. I pitched it. Gasp.
These are amazing!!!
I love the topiaries – great ideas that I may have to try out!
gotta love cheap and easy!!! 😉 thanks so much for sharing this. i'm going to make one for my entry.
Congrats on your feature! I love moss wreaths because they look good just on their own.
I'm in moss heaven here! I love all your mossy projects – they are right up my alley! Thanks for sharing! Happy Holidays!
Love the wreath, easy, cheap and pretty.
Both of those look lovely!
Great post! I love the wreath and the topiary. Very beautiful. I also like how you used your tureen. Just gorgeous 🙂
CHRISTmas Blessings!

And to think that I passed by a large grapevine ball I saw at Habitat today. I picked it up and wondered what to do with it.
Now I know, thanks to you. I'm hoping it will still be there tomorrow.
I love the moss covered topiary, what a great idea and how-to demo.
Love it.
Nice! I like moss because it won't die, too!
Girl, you're just having too much fun creating! I was over at Mod Podge Rocks, ADMIRING your work! Loved what you did. I have some decoupage in line to do this week myself.

That really is a neat blog, isn't it?
Once again, another stellar tutorial from the master!
Merry Christmas!

I like what you are doing with the moss. Great thing is they can hang around after the holidays.
I really like the moss topiary.
Soo amazing! I've got two beautiful small urns I am just dying to do something with, and I think these moss topiaries are the winner!
Happy holidays!
I love moss, thanks for sharing. I hope you and your family have a MERRY CHRISTMAS.
SO Happy to find your site. Moving across the country next year to a larger house and need great (thrifty) tips to spruce up the home. Can't wait to see what is next
My first time here…I suppose I've missed a bit! lol! Love the moss wreath and am going to give it a try!! Your tutorials are very easy to follow for someone with 3 thumbs like me!! Thank you!! 🙂

These are great! I tried making a moss wreath once, but I had a hard time getting the moss to stay! Yours are perfect!
hi! i love the moss wreath! i have been seeing them around blogland but i really like how fat yours is! i think i will make one and find a place to hang it! thanks!
These are so pretty! I also saw your boxwood wreaths in your home tour photos. Did you make those too? I’ve been looking into making a “preserved” boxwood wreath and wondered if you knew how to preserve the color in those. I do know that you use glycerin and water, but just wondered if you had any helpful hints? I really love your website and am also a sister in the Lord. You are a blessing and an inspiration.
