I’m always looking for ways to incorporate more green and nature into my home decor that isn’t messy or takes a lot of maintenance. For a while I was looking into installing my own plant wall, but let’s be real . . . I don’t want dirt and bugs on my white walls. A fun and simpler option was creating artwork with preserved moss.

Here is a list of materials that I used to create this preserved moss wall decor:

Materials

• Various preserved moss
• Preserved moss adhesive
• Wood frame
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors
• Marker

Instructional Video

Written Instructions

1. Draw your ideal pattern (it may not turn out that way and that’s okay)
2. Cut or tear the preserved moss to fit the frame
3. Use a hot glue gun to attach the moss to the frame
4. Arrange the moss in a way that you like
5. Let the glue dry completely
6. Hang your DIY preserved moss wall art and enjoy!

Helpful Tips

• Use a variety of different types of moss to add more texture and depth
• Add some accent pieces, such as rocks or crystals, to your wall art
• Hang your wall art in a place where it will get plenty of indirect sunlight

I love the way it turned out with the varying colors of green to brown and the textures throughout the piece. It was so easy to do and I have a few scraps left over. I may go find a bowl to make a preserved moss centerpiece. But I’ll save that project for another day! (edit on 4/29/24 –> Check out my DIY Moss Bowl Centerpiece post!)
