March I decorated my fireplace with plants for spring. Well... two of the plants didn't make it, so I needed to come up with something to fill the void. I shopped the house and found some unused candle sticks for the one side and decided a moss ball for the other side would look good.
Here is the before (when the plants were still alive):
The after, with the candle sticks and moss ball:
Now if I can't keep the remaining two plants alive, I don't know what I will replace them with. :-) I made the moss ball with items from the dollar store... a total of $2, can't beat that. I purchased a rubber ball from the toy section and two bags of moss (I only used one bag of the moss) and the glue I already had.
I just spread the glue onto the ball and smashed the moss into the glue. Very quick. Very easy. Very messy (the reason for the plastic under my project, I just carried the plastic outside when I finished and shook it off in the grass).

ust for fun... Sophia and Priscilla found a snail in the back yard and were quite enamored with it. They are so adorable! The girls, not the snail. :-)
Yes, that is pink stain on the patio (what was previous owner thinking), staining the patio is on the (very long) list of things to do. :-)
Thanks for stopping by.
