20+ DIY Moss Decor Ideas For Spring

From early blooming flowers to Easter and Saint Patrick’s Day, there’s tons of inspiration for decorating in the spring. And I love the fresh look of moss decor for adding color and life to a room.

Moss is easy to use for crafting and these DIY projects are so simple you can even get the kids involved.

Live or preserved moss?

When crafting with moss, you can choose to purchase preserved moss or live moss. Preserved moss is treated and dyed. It is not alive, but it’s a great option for home decor because it gives the look of living plants without having to worry about keeping it alive.

But live moss is one of the easiest houseplants you can grow. It just needs a couple of hours of sunlight and light misting of water about twice a week. That’s it!

When crafting with live moss, you just need to make sure it has a medium that will retain moisture to grow on, so switch out styrofoam for floral foam if you want your moss project to live.

There’s nothing like adding a bit of greenery in your home to celebrate the arrival of spring and, live or preserved, moss decor is perfect in the modern farmhouse.

20+ DIY Moss Decor Ideas

Moss is easy to find, both online and in brick and mortar stores, and affordable as well! The best part is you can create beautiful decorations with it and the variety is practically endless ranging from wreaths and monograms to wall art and mossy Easter eggs.

So today I’m sharing some interesting DIY moss decor projects for spring that look absolutely amazing and are a cinch to make.

Moss Ball Tutorials

Let’s start with a super simple moss ball project. Jessica at Fantabulosity makes this moss ball arrangement with a styrofoam ball and preserved moss. It’s super simple and makes a cute rustic farmhouse decoration.

Did you know you can make a living moss ball if you switch out the styrofoam for floral foam? Get instructions for that project here.

Moss Numbers

If monograms aren’t your thing, maybe you have a number that is special to you and your family. Maria at Pastel and Macaroons chose the number 1 to celebrate her son’s birthday with a woodsy theme.
