DIY Moss Covered Initial

I love initials. I may have upwards of a dozen letter R’s hanging out around my house…but they are all totally different. That’s what I love about it! The one I want to show you today is one that I made for Christmas, but is EASILY changed up for any time of the year.

Right now, I am using it in my kitchen on the door that leads into our laundry room. {That is NOT an area that I have ventured into “fixing up” yet! Maybe one day…} It stays shut a lot so that people can’t see the madness going on, and it seemed so bland. This cute little R did the trick!

Supplies needed:

Large {or any size} letter of your choice~ Mine came from Hobby Lobby and is the larger wooden letters that they have. I got on sale for 50% off.

Bag of Spanish Moss

Tacky glue

Ribbon of your choice

Bow {if desired}

After you section your letter off with glue, start attaching the moss! {You had to have that step written out, right??}

When it is fully covered, you are done!

This is what it looked like before I trimmed up some of the fly-aways.

I just kind of trimmed it up a bit so it wasn’t AS crazy, but I didn’t do too much.

Here is it after I hung the ribbon and my very simple burlap bow. {Disclosure…I am not a fancy bow maker. This is as good as it gets!}

And I debated on showing this picture because of the shape of the refrigerator, but it is real life up in here, and I love to have all of the pictures that my kids make me hanging in all of their glory. So there you go, you get the messy shot.
