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.
