Adding Moss

Do-It-Yourself Decorating

Covering up Foam

Oops, I think I forgot something! We don’t want that green foam sticking out of our finished arrangement! Moss should take care of that. I wrestled out some moss (a real battle, it’s so tangled up) and spread it in around the flowers. It actually was a bit easier to add it with a few flowers already in there. The stems helped hold it in place.

There are all different kinds of filler moss. The one I’m using here is like little pieces of dried stems almost (or the synthetic equivalent); at home I’ve used real moss like you get for miniature dioramas; even Easter grass could work. And then there are always a variety of colors to choose from—pick what you like and what fits your flowers! PS: See more about moss here.
