Faux Moss Planter - A Thrift Store Upcycle

I love upcycling items! I found a round planter at Goodwill that was just perfect for a thrift store upcycle project I was participating in!
I wanted to create something different than adding the usual coco liner and plants that you normally see.
So I decided to use leftover dimensional paint from a previous project to cover the frame - and it really gave it a totally unique look!
The paint from FolkArt that I applied adds a kiss of moss to the overall appearance! It's called Painted Finishes in Moss! And it adds lots of texture and dimension!
You know anything moss is very trendy and quite charming in décor these days!
I also found rolls of faux moss ribbon at the craft store and used it to cover the bottom portion of the frame with the help of hot glue.
Since the planter is for decorative purposes only, the moss was glued to the outside of the frame . . .
one area at a time . . .
until the bottom . . .
was completely covered.
Looks real doesn't it?
And then slivers of moss from the ribbon were added to the top, cascading downward. And finally, the center was filled with an ornamental arrangement for a lovely effect.
I'm really loving the overall appearance! From a empty basic hanging planter into a more natural loo, just by adding texture and a touch of nature with faux moss paint and ribbon!
