I saw these moss trees some time ago and today attempted to mimic them. I mod podged burlap onto a piece of wood and then applied the moss, mini-pinecones, and berries with tacky glue and a glue gun. I drilled two holes and ran plaid berry fabric to make a bow.
I went into Jo-Ann's to buy some of the infamous burlap. I went up to the busy counter and the lady growled.."Not this stuff again...why do you girls keep buying this burlap?" I thought it was funny. There was another girl in line with a cart full of it. "Idaho Potato Sack Burlap!" It is pretty nasty stuff to work with..but can be oh so pretty! :)
Candace... that is so cute! you did a fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteI went to buy burlap last month, but I changed my mind. There wasn't much of a selection where I went.
Does it smell? When I was teaching we would have potato sack races, and the sacks smelled horribly! :)
great job!
