Moss Ball/Burlap Tassel

I am still not finished with using moss.  I thought of this the other day.  A moss ball with burlap fringe tassel.

 I used:

•  a small styrofoam ball
•  moss
• burlap cut into strips
• twine
• embellishments or leave plain
• glue gun
• bottle cap

 I like it when something that you think about to craft doesn't turn out to be a "craft fail"....LOL... I am thinking about making these and selling them. What do ya'll think? Please let me know.
 Have a great day.

Bunny Trio and my Sentimental Boxwood/Moss Ball

How's everybody doing today? The weather this weekend was perfect!! Last week was rainy and cold, but today low 70's. Aaahh SPRING at last. Here is another one of my spring vignettes. I've had these bunny picks and if you all can remember I used one of them here. The little pots are from some of those Easter trees that you can buy from Dollar Tree, I took out the tree part and put the bunny pick in it and glued some reindeer moss around it. I then added the raffia bows.

I used up more of my plastic eggs and mod podged dictionary pages to them. I found the rabbit and sheep stamp at Michael's in the dollar section.
 I am really excited about this boxwood ball. When I was growing up my mother had a boxwood wreath, that she hung on the door at Christmas. She ended up taking it apart and using the pieces of boxwood as fillers for bowls and other things. When I got it(she passed away 15 years ago)I used it for the same thing at Christmas. I have a basket that I would put ornaments in with the boxwood pieces. After seeing boxwood wreaths, balls, and topiaries all over blog land I decided to make a boxwood ball and then I could enjoy it all the time, plus remind me of my mother when I see it.
I used a 4 inch styrofoam ball and I had enough boxwood for it to be even all over, except for this section, so I glued moss to it and I thought that was perfect. That part will be on the bottom anyway. I love it and now I can use it all the time. Thanks, mom.

Happy Monday,

Moss Bunny, Moss Egg and Sheet Music Eggs....Oh My!

I have been in a put moss on everything mood lately.LOL.... I found some foam shaped bunnies at Michael's and glued it to the sheet moss and then cut around it. I found this pretty french ribbon at Hobby Lobby and in the dollar section at Michael's I found these crowns.

My inspiration for this egg is from the blog, Room to Inspire and the tutorial on how to make this one is here. She is no longer blogging but I did send her an e-mail and she might come back to  the blogging world.. She has so many great ideas that inspired me(that I had to copy)LOL.. I hope she returns to blogging. The only thing I did different was use the green moss and the french ribbon.

I also used up some of my plastic eggs by decoupaging this sheet music scrapbook paper to them. My bunny is concrete and has been outside and I decided to paint it white and put the felt circles on the bottom and use it inside. This was also an idea from Room to Inspire with her bunny and you can see that here.

Have a great day.
