DIY Reindeer Moss Balls
Moss Accessories are everywhere….why not make your own?
Today I am sharing with you these easy handmade DIY Reindeer Moss balls.
I bought this most amazing shade of chartreuse green Reindeer Moss.
So, what’s reindeer moss??? Reindeer mosses were originally named for their value as a food source for reindeer and caribou in the plant’s northern range. Reindeer moss is really a lichen, not a moss.
I love its texture and the beautiful yellow-green color is perfect for spring!
Easy, fast and fabulous!
This is how they turned out!
Don’t you just love this stunning green color?
See my ‘Celebrate Spring’ fireplace mantle, where my chartreuse moss spheres now have a home!
and here are my Moss Balls with this year’s How to decorate a Mantle for Spring:
I also use these pretty moss balls as spring decor with my candles and DIY Pottery Barn Inspired Page Scrolls:

March 13, 2012 at 3:51 amI thought these were large balls like putting out in the garden. they are more than wonderful, though. I “pinned” it so I can make some — someday. I have a lot of things to make in my Pinterest. 🙂 Best wishes, Linda
