How to Make a Moss Wreath for Spring

This DIY moss wreath is a great way to kick off spring with shades of green on a grapevine wreath base. Perfect for your door or mantel this easy craft can be made in minutes.

Bright green moss always reminds me of spring, new beginnings, and rebirth. Why not make a large moss wreath as part of our spring decor? I'm using dyed reindeer moss that really isn't a moss at all but a lichen. However, it's easy to work with and gives me a deep rich color I love. You can also use sheet moss with the reindeer moss or alone.

What You'll Need

• Grapevine wreath form
• Dark green reindeer moss
• Light green reindeer moss
• Oakmoss
• Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks

Making a Moss Wreath for Spring

Start by simply slipping some of the dark green moss in and under the larger vines wrapping around the wreath. This gives the wreath a look of moss naturally growing in nature.

Next, glue the bright green moss followed by the oakmoss as accents and highlights around the wreath.

That's it! Easy, right? You could add a nice ribbon at the top or bottom but I don't think it needs it.

Hang it anywhere in the house or set it on the mantel. Just be sure if it's hung outdoors that it is shielded from the elements.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if some cheeky birds get a hold of some of it for their nests.

Here's mine on our front door. Though I think I'll probably end up setting this gorgeous wreath on our mantel for spring.
