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.

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. For more chalkboard ideas see the post DIY Advent Calendar.

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 For DIY Moss Covered Letters

• 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.
