DIY Fake Moss

This DIY tutorial can be used to create realistic looking fake moss. To make this tutorial you will need:

• A Pine tree
• A pair of pruning shears or I guess you could try to use scissors
• A blender
• White glue
• A rock or clay pot that you want to put fake moss on
• a paintbrush

Step 1: Using the pruning sheers, snip a branch from a pine tree.

Step 2: Snip off manageable pieces of the branch and stuff them in your blender. Blend on "ice crush mode" until a fine powder is achieved.

Step 3: Using the paintbrush, cover the surface of what you want mossy in white glue.

Step 4: sprinkle or roll on the fake moss

I inadvertently discovered this technique while putting pine trees in my blender for an unrelated project and was excited to put it to use. The total cost of this project was 0$ because I had everything on hand, but you may find that you spend around $10 if you need to get glue, pots or pruning shears. It would look fantastic on stone garden statues if a waterproof glue were used instead of white craft glue. Feel free to share your own uses of this 'moss' in the comments!
