moss balls

 
My daughter and I LOVE to go treasure hunting at our local thrift store,
and can spend a whole afternoon browsing the isles. You never know what
you're going to find. I initially went looking for some chairs for a
customer who had ordered one of our Farmhouse Tables. . .
 
But then I spied some of these adorable vintage pewter dishes for $1.50 each.
 
SCORE!!!
 

Immediately I knew that I wanted to make a moss ball to just sit inside it. Fortunately for me,
the ride home passes right by Hobby Lobby (much to my hubby's dismay)
so of course we had to make a quick stop!
 
We grabbed a round styrofoam ball and some moss, and I already had
my glue gun at home. . .
 


This is a SUPER easy activity. . .just spread the hot glue on the MOSS
(not the styrofoam) and then press down on the ball, doing about a 2"x 2" section
at a time. Wherever there are open gaps, just tear (not cut) pieces and glue in place.
 


I love it when projects turn out as planned. . .
It's the little things like this that make me happy :)
