Moss Art- DIY textured wall decor in less than an hour

Want to bring a touch of nature into your home? Today, I am sharing one of my all-time favorite DIYs. In less than an hour, I created this textured piece of Wall Decor with leftover supplies I had on hand. Now, that is my kind of DIY!

I have seen versions of these before on Pinterest, so when I stumbled across a box of preserved moss leftover from my daughterโ€™s wedding DIYs, I knew exactly what to do with it. I love having pieces in my home that are one-of-a-kind and handmade.

How to Make Moss Art-DIY

If youโ€™d like to try this yourself, this is what you would need:

Assorted Moss

Frame

Glue Gun

Choose a Frame

You can use any frame with a bit of depth for the frame. I used a piece of art that I no longer love. If you donโ€™t have a frame at home, you can use a box frame from Amazon or Micheals. If you are purchasing, make sure itโ€™s a frame and doesnโ€™t have a โ€œdoor.โ€ You want to be able to remove the glass, leaving it in an open box. This is the moss I used along with this one. I think three bags would be plenty.

Any frame with depth will work here. My frame choice had words on it, and I painted over it so the black letters wouldnโ€™t show through. I just grabbed the old paint I had on hand.

Moss

I sorted the different colors and textures of moss into piles. I then laid the moss into a pattern that I liked so that I knew where I wanted to glue everything once I began. If I had wanted a more exact pattern, I could have marked lines on the back of the frame to serve as a guide.

I used a glue gun to adhere the moss to the back of the frame.

Mini Glue Gun

I glued the moss into place, filling it in as I went. My moss had a lot of variety which naturally gave it depth. If your moss is thinner, you could glue cardboard to give it some height.

Be careful of the glue gun! You can quickly burn your fingers. Once I was happy with the placement of the glued moss, I took it outside and shook all the loose moss pieces free. If the moss falls off and exposes holes simply glue more pieces on.

Finished Moss Art

It took me less than an hour, and I used the supplies I had on hand. If I had bought everything, I would guess it would be around $50.00, and that is because the frame I used was pretty large.

Here it is, hanging at our Airbnb.

      The moss I used was leftover from my daughters’ wedding in 2018, so I would think it will hold its color pretty well.
