Spring Wreath

How To Make a Spring Wreath:
Tools:


Flowers, insects, bird's eggs, nest, other spring items
    (gardening tools would be cute!)
Different types of moss: one for base, others for decoration (CAUTION: You must sprinkle the moss with water everyone once and a while or it will die!!)
Green twine
Ribbon for hanging (and for the hat).
Hot glue gun
Wire cutters (sissors will work for most products)
Step 1:


Glue base moss down on the wreath. Pull off clumps to fit the wreath. Wrap moss around the inside of the wreath and glue to the back (you don't need to go all the way around just the inside edge).
Step 2:
Add accent moss, you can use more than one color, I've only used one color. Add the moss in clumps around the wreath. 



 
Then take your green twine and twist it all around the wreath. This will help hold the moss down to the wreath- adding security. I tied the twine to the back of the wreath and secured it with a spot of glue.
 
Step 3:
Add decoration! You can scatter or clump the decorations together. A little glue goes a far way. When you have completed the decorating, tie and glue a thick ribbon to the back of the wreath for hanging. Wait at least two hours for glue to dry before hanging.
 
Then hang and enjoy!
Don't forget to spray the moss with water at least twice a month to make it stay fresh and greeen.
