You may have noticed the moss wreath hanging from a mirror in my Living Room Makeover post. Well this is a pinterest inspired project I can now check off my list! My inspiration came from Tatertots & Jello. I remember seeing it on her site last year and I recently came across a pin of it. It’s the perfect Spring wreath for my simplistic style. I decided to take the wreath off the mirror and hang it on our front door. I love the way the white butterflies stand out against the dark door.
To make the wreath I cut the moss sheet into strips wide enough to cover the wreath form. Cutting the moss into strips made it easier to work one section at a time. Several glue sticks later my wreath was completely covered.
The butterflies had long wire stems that I cut down to an inch and a half long.
make! Now maybe if I stay off pinterest long enough I’ll have more
projects to share over the next few days. ;)
Thanks for stopping by!

This is so beautiful!!! Just perfect!!! xoxo- Rachel
So Springy Would look good on my door. Love the butterfly’s
Where did you get the large sheets of moss?? Would love to know.
I found the moss sheets at Hobby Lobby, but Joanns carries them as well. :)
I found everything at Michael’s!!! And both the moss and butterfly’s were in the floral aisles!!!
Really pretty–and you’re right, I think the contrast of light and dark is what makes it so striking :)
Thanks for posting. I’ve got to try this.
I spend Waaaaay too much time on Pin Pin Pin. Limit it haha. I really should. My sore eye is tired by the time Im off to craft. But Im no camera senior & love to see everyones project etc. Good luck
just found you at TT&J weekend wrap up. love this! love that the butterflies are just white, such a nice contrast. i’m the same as you – a million pins and i’ve finally just done a couple.:)

Have a great weekend! Kim
i absolutely adore this! great job!!
I love how simple and beautiful this is. Lovely project :-)
This looks wonderful. I haven’t ever worked with moss, do you have to mist it to keep it alive?
I have seen this on Pinterest, too! Yours turned out beautifully. I think we all have that problem with Pinterest. I was joking on my Facebook page about just this very thing the other day. If I do one project a week from my pins, it will take me 32 years to get to them all! Good luck, right? :)
Love this project! Would you share on Simple & Sweet Fridays, you’d inspire everyone with this wreath.
Stop by for a visit, love to have you.

thanks for linking up to Make it mOnday! I’ve featured your link on the Brassy Apple FB and twitter pages!
Your wreath turned out beautifully! Absolutely perfect for Spring.
I tried to make letters like that awhile back, but they ended tragically. How did I not know that moss came in sheet form? Probably would have made a big difference! lol
I love this look! Very much my style as well, understated but perfectly springy at the same time. If you’d like another place to share it I’m hosting a link party today with a few fellow bloggers. It’s all about the easy peasy, super simple tips and projects. I’d be great to see you linked up. :)

Love this wreath! I just made a wreath that had butterflies as well–I think they will be big this spring season in crafting. I featured it on Sew Woodsy’s Facebook page (since I didn’t do actual features on the blog this week)!
This is so pretty, I love butterflies too!
Lovely wreath! I love the butterflies – so pretty! Thanks for sharing Crystal!
