DIY Moss Covered Letters
How did I not know that DIY moss covered letters were so easy to make? I’m a super crafty person, so I should know this. It’s like showing up for late for a party, and realizing I only have mascara on one eye. Now, I want to make moss letters for every season and holiday I can think of. You can make them too, with a few simple steps.
DIY Moss Covered Letters
Right now decorating for spring is on my mind and I love how the pop of green looks on the chalkboard. To me the chalkboard is like a blank canvas and a good spot for adding seasonal decor.
Since March is around the corner I added a festive touch of garlands to go with the spring inspired letter M. The argyle green ribbon reminds me of spring, as well as St. Paddy’s Day. I gotta have my green, after all I am a wee bit Irish.
Supplies
- Wood, MDF or Paper-mache Letter
- Sheet Moss
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun
- Glue Sticks
Sheet moss has a thin web backing that’s easy to cut with scissors. My first step was cutting out a section large enough to cover the letter. Then I trimmed around the letter leaving enough moss to cover the sides.
Next I applied hot glue in sections and pressed the sheet moss into place. With the moss in place on the front flat surface, I started gluing moss around the edge.
The last step was trimming the sheet moss so that only the front and edges were cover.
Note: Both sides can be covered with the moss, however I wanted to hang my letter on my chalkboard and I wanted a smooth flat surface on the back.
My secret to attaching the moss letter to the chalkboard is using Command Picture & Frame Hanging Strips.

Thanks Christene, spring is a fun time for decorating and we’re just getting started.
Love this idea! It’s so easy and fast to make, yet it looks so gorgeous and brings in the spring vibe the best possible way. I’m thinking of making more than just one letter, so I can create fun and interesting words that welcome spring into my home. Thanks for sharing!

Super easy project Barbara. Have fun with it!
The moss looks so good on your “M” initial! I wish it would look as good on an “L.” Pinned!
I know what you mean LOL. Maybe you can find an “L” with pretty loops.
What a clever idea to use sheet moss to make a giant letter! I love how you displayed the letter too – so pretty!
