The Moss is Always Greener

I’m definitely in that time of my life where I’m surrounded by all things wedding related. Not only am I planning my own wedding (September 23^rd!!!), but I also have friends, family and co-workers planning weddings too! I’m having so much fun being inspired by the plethora of creative ideas out there and already have a hefty to-do list of all the things I want to make.  First stop – moss letters for my bff’s wedding in less than a month (eeekkk!!!).

I’ve seen these in bridal magazines and wedding blogs and think they are adorable. My bff’s colors are green and black so these would fit in perfectly with her décor. The ones pictured above are selling on Etsy.com for $80. Super cute, but I think I can make them cheaper 😉

I found some 12” paper mache letters online at JO-ANN’s for $3.99 each and even found a 50% off one item coupon. SCORE!

I placed an order for these and will be hunting for some dried moss to use with the ol’ glue gun on these bad boys. I’d prefer to find in person so I can see what it looks like up close and personal. I’m going to also search for black satin ribbon to tie in a pretty bow so they will hang nicely on the back of the bride and grooms’ chairs. Because I’ll be using dried moss, these can also be used as home décor after the wedding, which is a double whammy.

I’ll be sure to post some completed pics when I’m done!
