Hey friends!  Thanks for stopping by!  Before we begin, I'd like to remind you to follow along with me on Pinterest, Instagram, TwitterHomeTalk and Facebook, so you don't miss another post!

Okay, let's get started!

What you'll need:

  • spray adhesive

  • moss (I got mine from my local dollar store and LOVE it!)

  • cardboard or poster board

  • optional: latex gloves

Recently, my son did a school project in which he used a tri-fold poster board for his presentation.  Because he only needed half of the board, the rest was discarded, and I knew exactly what to do with that remnant piece!  Alas, the birth of this moss runner idea was born! ;)

First, cut your cardboard to the size you'd like it to be.  Next, because the spray adhesive has some fumes, be sure to do this project outside.  Or if you have a portable, pop-up tent (as seen in this blog post), then turn on some fans and do it inside. ;)

Now, all you have to do is spray your cardboard, small sections at a time.  After each spray, immediately push down your moss, tearing the strands apart as you pull them out of the bag. ;)

Completely cover your board, so that no sides show.

Now you're done!  See?!  That was soooo easy, wasn't it?!  I love projects like this!

If you'd like to see the rest of our tablescape all decked out for Spring, be sure to stop by tomorrow (March 9th).  I'm planning to post TWO posts....one for our Spring tablescape, and one for our Spring mantel!  Woot woot!  And don't forget to set your reminders to watch these exact tutorials tomorrow at 1:00 est on HomeTalk's Facebook page!  Can't wait to say hey to you during the live video!

Also, I hope you were inspired to look for creative ways to decorate your home for Spring!  What are your ideas?  I'd LOVE to hear about them!  Comment below, or stop by and say hey on Pinterest, Instagram, TwitterHomeTalk and Facebook.  It always makes my day to hear from my sweet readers!
