moss balls

 

My daughter and I LOVE to go treasure hunting at our local thrift store,

and can spend a whole afternoon browsing the isles. You never know what

you're going to find. I initially went looking for some chairs for a

customer who had ordered one of our Farmhouse Tables. . .

 

But then I spied some of these adorable vintage pewter dishes for $1.50 each.

 

SCORE!!!

 

Immediately I knew that I wanted to make a moss ball to just sit inside it. Fortunately for me,

the ride home passes right by Hobby Lobby (much to my hubby's dismay)

so of course we had to make a quick stop!

 

We grabbed a round styrofoam ball and some moss, and I already had

my glue gun at home. . .

 



This is a SUPER easy activity. . .just spread the hot glue on the MOSS

(not the styrofoam) and then press down on the ball, doing about a 2"x 2" section

at a time. Wherever there are open gaps, just tear (not cut) pieces and glue in place.

 



I love it when projects turn out as planned. . .
It's the little things like this that make me happy :)
