Would you believe that I’ve wanted to make a Floral Moss Wreath for quite some time. I even bought the supplies awhile back and have had them lying in wait. Why I procrastinated putting this beauty together is beyond me. I think it makes a great door wreath, don’t you?
However, I finally committed to getting this project done and today’s the day I get to share it here, with all of you! Woo-Hoo. Let’s get this party started….
DIY Moss Wreath
Supplies for Floral Moss Wreath:
One 18″ Grapevine Wreath
Three bags of Floral Moss (pictured above is Spanish Moss)
Glue Gun
Spray Adhesive
Cute Frame
Ribbon
Step One:
Start by hot gluing the first layer of floral moss to the grapevine wreath. Every so often be sure to lift the wreath and shake off any access. I’ll admit that I had intended to hot glue the entire wreath, but decided to go a different direction with the second layer (see step two).
Step Two:
Add a second layer of moss with Spray Adhesive. It covered more area and kept some of the smaller (messier) pieces in place much better.
This might be a good time to mention that, as you can see above, this can be a very messy project {smile}.
Be sure to give the wreath a few more shakes (outdoors) and you’re ready to add accessories.
Step Three:
Add a frame, along with a bow using wired ribbon
Guess what? You’re done. A lovely Floral Moss Wreath is ready to be hung. A simple project with a lovely outcome. Below is the ‘pinspiration’ versus my wreath. I must admit that I think it’s all kinds of fabulous.
What do you think? I hope you’ll give it a try. Be sure to tag me on social media if you do! Happy Crafting! xo

I don't know how I missed this earlier (maybe Google Reader is acting funny or maybe I scrolled too quickly). Caught it at TT&J though. This is gorgeous, and I'm so tempted to make one this weekend.

I attempted to make this wreath! I did not use the hot glue but just wanted to say thanks for the tutorial. I am new to the blog world and wanted to say Hi!
Kelly says
Hi Jossie! Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me know you did! How did your wreath turn out? Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. You’ll meet some fabulous people. Have a fabulous end to your week. Hugs.
Tri says
This might seem like a silly question but how did you tie the bow? And how then hang it over the door? Could you give us a little more detail for those of us that are crafting impaired? I made this now I just can’t figure out how to tie and such. Thank you!
Kelly says
Hi Tri! There are two pieces of ribbon, one is looped through the wreath and up. The other is tied around the first piece of ribbon and made into a bow. Does that make sense? I’m so excited to hear you made the wreath!! I hope it helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!
Jessi @ Practically Functional says
Love this wreath! It’s so simple and pretty! Pinning, and thanks for sharing at my link party!
Janelle Rushin says
I love this!!! Thank you for sharing. How did you attach the frame?? I am making my first wreath right now!
Kelly Rowe says
Hi Janelle! Thanks so much for stopping by and finding some inspiration. I attached the frame with some twine, it’s actually attached to the ribbon — I didn’t attache it permanently in case I wanted to change things up a bit. Hope that helps. Happy crafting!
dawn pauls says
This is beautiful! I have a question: how did you get the moss to go on evenly with the glue gun? Because i the glue comes out in thin strands, did it just take a lot of glue? Thanks!
Kelly Rowe says
Hi Dawn! Thanks so much for stopping by! Since I only used the glue gun for the first layer, I wasn’t too particular. Depending on the size of your glue gun, you might have to use quite a bit of glue. However, you could easily use the adhesive spray on the entire wreath too. I think I was going with the trial and error process when making mine, so it’s really up to you. Hope that helps. HUGS!!
Kelly says
Would you be able to tell me the paint color of your front door?
Ashley Manning says
Crazy question…WHAT paint color is that front door?? SO pretty.
Kelly Rowe says
Hi Ashley. That door was was in the photo that inspired my wreath, so unfortunately I have no idea.
