Supplies

12 ” Wire wreath form – Use at least a double, preferably one with four rings for extra stability
11 baseballs – I think used looks best, but you can use new too. Look at used sporting goods stores
Glue – I used a glue called 9001 and it worked really well. If you can’t find that I would suggest something that says “industrial strength” on the package.
All purpose moss mat
Sharpie
Scissors
Paper Plate
Ribbon
Scrap fabric or burlap
Twine/yarn
Black paint
Small paint brush
Hot glue gun and glue

Directions

Lay out your moss mat face down

Place your wreath form on the mat with a baseball on top

Using your sharpie, trace the inside of the wreath form including the width of the baseball.

Do the same for the outside of the from.

Using your scissors cut out the traced portion of the moss mat, which should be wider than the actual wreath form.

Rough up the edges by snipping little pieces of the moss away and pulling small pieces, to give it a not so uniformed look.

Glue the wire wreath form to the moss mat.

Turn over and set on a paper plate to dry so it won’t stick to your work surface. Place baseballs on top to weight it down to ensure everything sticks and dries evenly.

After the glue dries, glue the baseballs on.

Place some glue on the moss then place a baseball on top then place some glue on the side of the baseball where the next baseball will touch. Repeat until all the baseballs are glued down and glued to one another.

There should be a small gap between two of the baseballs, take your ribbon (I recommend doubling it because of the weight) and make a loop and tie a bow and it will be ready to hang.

Take the leftover moss and cut into small pieces. Using your glue and moss pieces, glue the pieces in between the gaps of the baseballs.
