We admit it, there are a lot of small steps to this craft but we can assure you that they’re easy ones.  The most tedious part is wrapping the moss ribbon around the foam wreath, it can be tough to get the moss in the right place while keeping it even and flat. We found it easiest to go slowly, laying the moss along the foam and securing it with the green thread little bits at a time, using the glue gun is certainly useful.  Once you have placed and secured the moss, all thats needed is to arrange flowers, succulents and Easter decorations.  

What you need to make a DIY Moss Wreath:

• Foam wreath
• Moss ribbon
• Thin green thread
• Artificial succulents
• Artificial flowers
• Easter decorations (bunny faces, eggs or chicks)
• Ribbon
• Hot glue gun
• Floral foam
• Floral wire

How to Make a Succulent Moss Wreath – Easter Decoration Idea

Firstly, wrap the foam wreath with moss ribbon, one layer at a time. Use green thread and a glue gun to secure the moss in place.  

Secondly, add the ribbon by wrapping it around the top of the wreath. Wrap it about two to three times to create a thick, secure ribbon accent.  Cut it when you are happy and glue gun the end the back of the wreath.  

Next, cut a piece of the floral wire to secure the floral foam to the wreath, using the glue gun to help secure it. Place it slightly off centre.

Now, begin to add the flowers and succulents to the wreath by using the glue gun.  Some flowers and succulents will have wire attached, use this to stick them into the foam and use the glue to secure them.

Finally, add the Easter decorations, cute Easter bunnies, chicks or sparkling Easter eggs can be used. Almost any Easter decoration will complement this perfect succulent wreath. What’s more, you could use this wreath all year by placing Easter decorations non-permanently.

What You’ll Need:

• Fabric for the pillow casing
• Felt in four colours
• Green yarn
• Decorative felt balls (or pom poms)
• Large eyed needle (like a darning or embroidery needle)
• Scissors
• Optional: Fabric Glue
• Sewing Machine
• Needle and thread

Measure your fabric for the pillow casing. Be sure to leave room – at least 1/2″ all the way around – for a seam allowance. Stitch three sides closed with the forth left open enough that you can slip your pillow inside.

Cut flowers out of the coloured felts. We made three different sizes in various shapes. You’ll need about twenty flowers to make your pillow.

Arrange your cut flowers on the pillow case. When you like how it looks, start attaching the flowers with the method you have chosen, either put a couple of stitches in the centre of each flower, or a dab of fabric glue.  If you are sewing, make sure to secure your flowers with pins so you don’t lose your design. Work your away along the pillow until all the flowers are attached.

Next, take the green yarn and thread a length onto the large eyed needle. Tie a knot in the end of the thread and start stitching the flowers stems starting from the inside of the casing. Tie another knot in the in the thread inside the casing to secure the flower stem. Sew stems for all the flowers.

Insert your filling into the casing and stitch up the remaining opening. Happy Crafting!

Made this for Mum last year? Certainly try a personalized Mason Jar filled with her favourite things or some pressed flowers picked by little hands.
