Every craft and decoration enthusiast should be aware by now that moss is perfect for crafting. We have also all seen wonderfully beautiful decorations made from natural materials for every season. Since we're all eagerly awaiting spring, it would be nice to get in the right mood with some leisure activities. And what would be better than making something beautiful with moss in spring?
Stop by the decoration shop and/or flower shop today so that you can get started as soon as you have the time and inclination. After all, the weekend isn't far away. Whether you prefer to use real or artificial moss is up to you, but it also depends on the project.
Daffodils or other spring flowers in a glass
You can conjure up a beautiful spring decoration using just 3 materials. You don't even need potting soil, but you should make the whole thing with fresh moss.
- large decorative glass
- Moos
- Group of bulbous flowers in pots (e.g. daffodils, hyacinths, tulips)
Remove the onions from the pot without separating them. Place the whole thing in the glass and fill in the free areas with the moss. Water the arrangement sparingly to avoid waterlogging as there is no drainage. The best way to do this is to simply spray the moss.
Crafting with moss in spring: flowers in the plant bowl
You can also implement this idea in another container. Depending on the size or free space that is created, in some cases it is worthwhile to use potting soil (better still with a drainage layer) and real moss just to cover it, otherwise far too large quantities would be required.
The whole thing would also look very effective on bark. You can do this afterwardson a flat decorative bowldisplay it or just place it on the table.
Simple spring wreath made from natural materials
We go one step further because you only need two materials for this wreath and both are natural:
- Wreath blank made from grape vines
- Moos
Using hot glue, simply glue tufts of moss directly onto the wreath. You decide how much you cover the blank. The spring wreath looks particularly effective if you use the material more sparingly so that the vines remain visible on both sides.

Idea with modern wire basket
There are also great wire baskets with modern shapes that you can use as an alternative to the classic wreath. The principle is the same as with the decoration in the glass: the flowers go into the basket, which is then filled with fresh moss around it. Depending on the volume of the basket, you also choose the flowers. Is it quite small?Snowdrops, for example, are well suited. Tulip, daffodil and hyacinth bulbs may need a little more space.
Make large Easter bunnies out of moss
This giant bunny is guaranteed to attract everyone's attention and is also really easy to make. You should only allow a little more time, at least if you decide on a size like this. You can use real or artificial moss for crafting the bunny.
- artificial or real craft moss (a moss mat was used in the example, but you can also use normal)
- Styrofoam balls in two different sizes
- cardboard
- 4 wooden sticks
- Hot glue and tape
- Scissors (if you choose a mat)
- Decorative ribbon
- Floral foam
- Decorative bowl, pot or other container to display the rabbit
How to make a bunny out of moss for Easter:
- Cover the Styrofoam balls completely with the craft moss. To do this, either cut the mat into larger pieces and place over the surface or tufts if you are using regular moss. Use hot glue to glue.
- Cut out a pair of ears from cardboard.
- Tape two wooden sticks together with tape.
- Cover the ears with moss as well.
- Place floral foam in the selected container.
- Stick the large ball for the body onto the floral foam using a wooden stick.
- Repeat the same thing with the rabbit's head: use a wooden stick to pin it onto the rabbit's body.
- Now add the bunny ears.
- Cut the ribbon to tie a bow around the bunny's neck. Complete!
