I Want to Make Alphabet Objects with Green Moss ♡

Alphabet objects, which play a major role in decorating welcome spaces and head tables, are essential items for weddings. In particular, fluffy green alphabet objects are perfect for natural and garden weddings ♡

Store-bought large green moss initial objects typically cost about 2,000 to 3,000 yen each. Many brides may want to try DIYing them to save money but aren't sure how to do it. In this article, we'll introduce a method to create alphabet objects at home using fluffy 'green moss' ♡

What is 'Green Moss'? Where Can I Get It?

'Green moss' refers to artificial moss. It can be easily obtained from flower shops, Daiso, and many online stores. Just applying this will make your initial objects much cuter, as if by magic＊

There are many types of green moss, but the dry type is suitable for making initial objects. The moss sold at Daiso is also of the dry type. Be careful with non-dry moss, as it's difficult to work with when it retains moisture and makes it fluffy＊ Also, there are various shades of green. Since colors can vary slightly from what you see online, brides who are concerned can feel more secure by selecting it in person.

How to Make a Green Moss Initial Object ① Prepare Materials

To create a green moss initial object, you need three materials and three tools, totaling six items＊ You can also find these tools at craft stores, craft shops, or online.

① Green moss

② Base alphabet object (cardboard or wooden ones are easier to apply moss to*)

③ Preferred artificial flowers and greens

④ Scissors

⑤ Wood glue

⑥ Hot glue gun

How to Make a Green Moss Initial Object ② Cut the Green Moss into Small Pieces

To make the green moss stick easily to the alphabet object, chop it with scissors or tear it into smaller pieces by hand. Ensure the pieces are large enough to be manageable, about a handful size＊

How to Make a Green Moss Initial Object ③ Apply Glue to the Surface of the Alphabet Object

Generously apply wood glue all over the base alphabet wood, making sure to cover every corner. In the beginning, it might take time to attach the green moss, so it's recommended to apply glue to a small area and stick it on until you get the hang of it＊

Once the front is done, proceed to attach moss to the back and sides if necessary. Be careful not to glue the bottom surface, as doing so will make it unstable when standing. Don’t worry about any parts sticking out for now because you'll trim them later♡

How to Make a Green Moss Initial Object ④ Cut Off Excess Parts with Scissors

Cut off any green moss that sticks out from the alphabet object using scissors. Be careful not to cut too much, as doing so could expose the base when it peels off.

How to Make a Green Moss Initial Object ⑤ Secure Flower and Moss Edges with Hot Glue

For areas with fewer surfaces like artificial flowers and greens or in areas where the surface changes, securely attach the green moss with a hot glue gun to prevent it from peeling off. It’s reassuring to glue down any edges that might peel off during transportation and sharp points too＊

The Green Moss Initial Object is Complete ♡

And that’s it, you’ve completed the green moss alphabet object! You may find yourself wondering where to put it in the welcome space, photo booth, or head table＊
