Moss Mat: Getting Started

My lid measures 18x22 and with a depth of 1/2 inch. You can choose any size.The first step is to attach non-slip shelf liner to the bottom of your lid. I used my lid as a template and cut the shelf material to size. In a well ventilated area, attach the liner to the lid with adhesive. Allow to dry for 30 minutes.

Build Your Mat

When the bottom of your lid is dry, flip it over and begin to build your mat by adding moss. I chose to use preserved moss because of the bold colors that are available. Preserved moss is available in most craft stores. I used 4 bags for this project.To create a patchwork effect choose a variety of mosses. Apply adhesive to your lid and press the moss into place.
