DIY: Spring Moss Bulletin Board

I was walking through Michael's the other day and saw this sheet of moss in a very inviting shade of green and I wondered what I could make with it.  I bought it, and gave it a think for awhile, and came up with this cute little bulletin board!  You can make one, too - it was a quick little project!


































You will need:

:: a frame (I used an 8.5" x 11" wooden frame)
:: 1/4 - 1/2 inch foam board
:: sheet moss
:: craft nest
:: faux eggs (I made mine from clay, but you can buy them in the floral department at the craft store)
:: hot glue and Elmer's glue

1. Measure the inside of your frame, and cut the foam board and moss to fit.

2. Glue the moss to the foam - I used Elmer's for this.

3. Place inside the frame and glue in if you want, but I just bent the metal tabs to hold it in place.

4. Glue your eggs in the nest, and hot glue the nest to the frame.

You're done!

Doesn't it just say spring?

And look at the eggs - my favorite color - robin's egg blue. :)
