The Moss Monster!!
They are the new inhabitants of a spooky Victorian mansion I found at a yard sale this past spring. Here's the mansion:
Spookiness, eh?? I adore it. I think it's meant for little porcelain trinkets, but I am not a little porcelain trinket kind o' woman. I appreciate things a little more wild. A little more funky. And...a little more....
Moss Monstery!!!!
Yaaaaaa!!
Wanna make some of these?? They are super doopery easy.
You need:
wooden bead (with single hole through it)
reindeer moss
hot glue
green floral wire
black eyed peas
~Thread two pieces of wire through the wooden bead, one for the top half of the body (the arms) and one for the bottom half (the legs). I looped them through twice to get them to stay for the moment.
~Hot glue the wires into place by squirting some right into both sides of the hole.
~Hot glue the reindeer moss on.
~Take two black eyed peas for eyes and hot glue them on as well.
Done!!
Told ya. Easy.
I joined these linky parties....check them out and be inspired!!
