star wreath

A couple of summers ago I bought this star wreath 

at a garage sale.

Nice, heavy wire base.

Gross plastic greenery.

(Sorry, I neglected to

snap a picture of the

wreath in all of

its loveliness.)

I figured I would remake it...

someday.

I dug it out this spring.

Decided that simply adding 

some green moss

would give me the

look I wanted.

Simple, quick project. 

Sure.

Just because everyone else 

hot glues moss on things,

doesn't mean that worked

for me.

Just because it was a beautiful day,

doesn't mean I planned to spend

two plus hours outside 

spraying adhesive on moss and trying

to get it to stick on the wire frame.

Just because Steve has the best 

crud remover around,

doesn't mean it took green

moss off my Oscar the Grouch-looking

fingers and hands.  (Luckily it wore

off in a week or so - yaaa...)

Just because the moss stuck

well when sprayed with glue,

doesn't mean the moss stayed glued

after a few days.

Funny thing how frustrations can

turn into something even better.

Needing to somehow restick some 

of the moss,

I grabbed some twine and began

to wrap.

This ended up being the touch that

made this wreath look really great.

Thanks for reading!
