Spruce up your primitive decor with this elegant bowl of decorative moss-covered balls. The bowl looks best with three balls inside, but you could also opt to make two. You can make these in larger sizes for larger containers as well.

Difficulty level: Intermediate
Time required: 45 minutes
Age range: 10+

Things you’ll need:
Rusty tin star bowl
3 – 2″ styrofoam balls
Natural dried sheet moss
Silver sequin pins

Things to do:
1. Open the bag of moss and pull a handful apart to make it easier to apply to the styrofoam ball.

2. Form the moss over the ball and pin in place in various locations with the sequin pins.

3. Continue pulling and shaping the moss and pinning it to the ball.

4. Once the ball is covered, repeat steps 1-3 for the other three balls. Add them to the primitive tin bowl, and you’ve got a great primitive, decorative item for your mantel or bookshelf!
