Miss Moss

Remember the amazingly beautiful and talented Kat from Lush Cakery? I blogged about her when we went to her gorgeous wedding in November... One night at GNI, she mentioned wanting to get these moss initial letters off Etsy for her wedding... after she told me how much they were I BEGGED her to let me help her so we can tackle the craft together! I had never done it before but I was DETERMINED to help save a bride some cash! (Plus, who doesn't like a good DIY project??!)

Unfortunately, the night we did the letters on my living room floor, we failed to take step by step pictures- and you probably wouldn't have wanted them anyway! We were just guessing and gluing {and making a massive mess along the way!}... I must say... We did a pretty good job... look for yourself in this month's Atlanta Wedding magazine...!

Here are some more pictures...

SO cute and SIMPLE! 

Love it. So cute. 

 The moss letters were on the chapel doors. Simply precious. It was the perfect touch to their wedding! 

This craft is so easy I'm almost embarrassed to type captions. All you need to know is cut moss, glue on letter. Done and done. 

Moss Letters

You will need: 

Cardboard Letter (size is up to you)- found in most craft stores. Ours are from Joann ($3.99 1/2 off coupon so $2)

Glue Gun + Glue Sticks (had at home)

Moss Sheets-also found in most craft stores. Ours are from Joann ($4.99- but I got for 1/2 off with a coupon!) 

Ribbon for the top- your choice of fabric/color/texture (had at home)

"Guesstimate" the size to cut so your letter fits on the moss sheet

Before we go on... I just have to show you where I'm crafting from... HOW awesome is this view... you think I could stay cooped up inside in 74 degrees??? HA! 

Ok, moving on! Cut slits in the curves/nooks of the moss so it'll be easy to bend (an Xacto knife would be great to use!) 

Glue the sheet onto the letter... put pressure on to help it stick

It's starting to take shape and look greeeeat... right? 

DO NOT worry about imperfections or coming short on some corners. The great thing about moss is using scraps to fit and fill in the gaps... Super easy and you can't even tell! 

Seriously, that's that... that is ALL you have to do!! 

I feel like I should be on Sesame Street...brought to you by the letter "A" !

EASY PEASY! Now go customize your front door and welcome Spring with a fresh moss letter!!!
