Woodsy Moss Vases

I'm into moss right now. I know it's sort of a weird thing to be into, but as a Pacific Northwest native, I guess it does make sense. It practically grows on us in the winter.

Really, I'm into moss because of its woodsy and whimsical vibe, its wonderful texture, its beautiful shades of green. Plus, it's super easy to work with.

Take this vase, for instance. So easy to throw together, and so terrific looking. It'd be perfect DIY decor for our upcoming wedding, but I've gotta chill on the projects already!

It's a soup can!

I love this kind of stuff.

Here's how to make your own.

The cast of characters: A soup can, some sheet moss, and a glue gun.

Rip off some moss the approximate size of the can. Wrap it around and rip it a little to fit.

Glue the can, or the moss (careful not to burn your fingers!) and just stick the moss on there. Seriously. It's that easy.

You'll probably have a few holes – just glue a little moss here and there to cover them up.

And then add flowers.

That's it, folks. Mossively cool, right?

Ha. Ha. Mossively.

Sorry.

(Have fun.)
