Moss Word Hangings
We’re overjoyed with Henry’s “let it be” attitude…
Happy December! I hope your month is off to a wonderful start! Joy is just one of the words of the season that I think can stand on it’s own.
Add joy to your own house or, why not give some away! Continue below for full tutorial…
Last year, I discussed moss ornaments with a florist who explained that wrapping Hyacinthia bulbs in moss is
one of the very first projects florists learn in Sweden in their schooling. I learned about the basics and
this year, have been wrapping our Hycinthia bulbs, too and then, just kept going. There are so many great words this
season — joy, cheer, merry and then, of course, the holiday names themselves — I hope that you, too, will
have the chance to make these. I’d love to see what you do with this, too!
Supplies:
Cardboard, cutting tool (scissors or xacto knife), florist
wire, and/or transparent thread, ribbon for hanging, glue gun, moss.
How-to:
– Draw word onto cardboard in cursive so that the letters connect.
– Cut out word. To make this example, I imagined that the letter was approximately 2
centimeters wide. and cut about 1 centimeter under the lettering and 1 centimeter over the lettering;
keeping the work intact.
– Working from left to right, glue moss onto the word; fully covering the cardboard.
It is OK if it is difficult to read the word at this point.
– Once the moss completely covers the word and is adhering, wrap the moss to the
cardboard with florist wire or transparent thread.
– Attach ribbon.
– Hang and enjoy.
Happy Making!
Happy Monday Wishes!
