Easy DIY Moss Wreath

I have been busy sprucing up our front porch for spring. It has taken a little while for me to get inspired but I finally did!

Recently we were in Target and I fell in love with this moss wreath. It is simply gorgeous but I did not feel like spending the money on it since I already had a ton of grapevine wreaths at home I could transform.

If you would like to make your own moss wreath all you need is one grapevine wreath, a can of spray adhesive, and a bag of moss. All items you can get at any craft store or even WalMart. 

I chose to do this project outside because the spray adhesive is smelly and the moss is really messy. Make sure to protect your area from the spray adhesive. i just used a large trash bag.

Next up I placed moss every where I wanted it BEFORE I started glueing to make sure I liked the direction it was going. Then I started to glue the moss down.

You will want to glue some moss to the sides of your wreath and any other holes you may see. I sprayed the wreath itself and also the back of larger pieces of moss. The glue goes a LONG way so do not think you need to spray a ton on.

In the process you give yourself a moss manicure!;)

When you are all done glueing you will end up with a beautiful moss wreath like this.

I actually had enough moss to make two wreaths.

Tomorrow is Sunday and due to busy schedules I will not be doing "How I Found My Style Sundays". I know disappointing but it WILL be back next Sunday I promise! In the meantime still be sure to stop by tomorrow so you can see exactly what else I did with my moss wreaths and the reveal of my Spring front porch!

Hope your Saturday is going well!:)

Quick & Easy Plastic Urns Updated

Recently a neighbor was redoing their landscaping and graciously gave away their boxwood shrubs. I had been wanting to find some larger boxwoods but was having no luck so I was excited to be the first to claim them. I had plans for them by our pool and out front.

After picking them up I ran straight to Lowes and purchased two plastic urns. They were about $12 a piece I believe.The black was too harsh for by the pool so I brought out my trusty paints.

I used mineral/chalk based paints in two different lighter colors and just layered them on the urns. 

Next up all I did was wet a paper towel a little and started rubbing the paint off till you get the patina you are going for. That is what took the longest but over all it was a fairly quick project. I recommend that you do not do this project on a windy day when a storm is rolling in!;)

 It is just that simple! I completed this project last month and wanted to wait to see how well the urns held up with the weather before I shared. You want to make sure to leave your urns in a dry place for a few days so the paint can cure. It started raining when I was doing mine and well  the paint came right off in areas and I had to repaint a few spots.

Here is a pic form this week and as you can see the paint has staid on just nicely. I did not seal it or anything. I just let it cure a few days before placing out by the pool.

So there ya have it, a inexpensive,quick and easy project that adds a little wow factor where you need it.

Please be sure to stop by Treasure Hunt Thursday going on now!
