Butterfly Moss Wreath

by Shanna Gilbert

Easy

I love summer. I love hearing the neighborhood kids playing in their yards until dusk, watching lightning bugs light up the sky at night, making homemade ice cream and having my kiddo home from school. When you work from home it can get lonely at times and it's nice having her here with me. So while stores already have their Halloween displays up I am trying to squeeze every last drop of summer I can get.
Here is an end of the summer project for you!

Here is what you will need for my Butterfly Moss Wreath (all of my supplies came from Michaels)

10-12 inch styrofoam wreath form

A package of moss cloth

A roll of wired ribbon

A pipe cleaner the same color as your ribbon

Some butterflies ( I got mine in the dollar bin at Michaels), and

A glue gun

First, you take your long sheet of moss and cut it into three long strips (the strips will be the entire length of your sheet).

Then start wrapping them around your wreath form, gluing it on as you go along. Once the entire wreath is covered, just start gluing on your butterflies wherever you choose.

Next, take some ribbon and tie it in a knot around the top of your wreath.

Then make a bow with your ribbon — I have one of the bow makers that you get at Michael’s. (I use it a ton!) Then, using a pipe cleaner, attach your bow to the ribbon looped around your wreath.

That’s it! Super easy!
