Welcome to this month’s the Creative Craft Hop! Are you ready for some new projects? Thanks to Sara at Birdz of a Feather for hosting this month. If you are following along and just arrived from visiting Gail at Purple Hues and Me, I know you just loved the beautiful colors in Gail’s project. All of the other projects are listed for you at the end of my project. So, let’s get creating!
Once I got the materials together, this shamrock moss wreath project took only about ten minutes. Total cost was $7.99 using this Dollar Tree wire shamrock wreath base. If I’d bought the moss at the Dollar Tree the cost would have been $2.50 but I have more plans for this moss.
Supplies for Moss Shamrock Wreath
- Dollar Tree wire shamrock wreath.
- One bag of moss.
- Hot glue gun and 2 Hot glue sticks
I covered my work surface with cardboard. I also used some silicone finger tip protectors. These are a MUST now whenever I use my glue gun.
Instructions for Moss Shamrock Wreath
- Lay the wreath flat on the surface.
- Select a starting point on your wreath and run a bead of glue along the top of the wires of the wreath working on a 6 inches section at a time.
- Pull a small section of the moss from the bag and fluff it so it is relatively loose (not clumped) and lay it onto the glue.
- Press the moss onto the wire wreath so that the moss is secure.
- Continue to the next 6 inch section and repeat until you have finished the wreath.
- After completing the entire wreath, go back and fill in any empty spots with more moss.
It really is that simple!
Here is a video of the process:
How easy was that???
As promised, here are the other projects. Cecilia from My Thrift Store Addiction is next with a some fabulous chalkboard tips.
Thanks for stopping by and remember to come back next month for more inspiration.
