Avanti from Avanti Morocha made the easiest (and cutest!) DIY moss balls I’ve seen in a while.
She shows how to take ordinary plastic balls and completely transform them using sheet moss and a hot glue gun.
This is one of those projects that looks super expensive when it’s done, but is actually so budget-friendly to make yourself.
I love that she used floral moss sheets — it makes the whole process way less messy than working with loose moss.
And get this — she even shows you how to make a mini moss bowl centerpiece by clustering different-sized balls together.
Such a clever idea for filling in empty spots on a bookshelf, a coffee table tray, or even for spring or Easter decorating.
I love her tip about trimming the moss edges with scissors for a clean look.
Grab some moss sheets and a few glue sticks, and go make this super versatile DIY!
I especially want to feature Avanti’s project because she shows us exactly how to make these moss balls in just a few easy steps.
What DIY’ers Are Saying
Source of the Wooden Box
A lot of people wanted to know where to get a wooden box like the one Avanti used — turns out, Avanti’s husband made it, but you might find something similar at Target or a flea market.
Adhesives for Attaching Moss/Burlap to Foam Balls
When it comes to attaching moss or burlap to foam balls, several people had success using Tacky Glue, while others mentioned that Mod Podge or even Elmer’s glue worked too.
Adhesive for Attaching Materials to Plastic Balls
If you’re using plastic balls instead of Styrofoam, hot glue is a great option to hold everything securely.
