Black Stiffened Felt
Scissors

Sharpie

Things to do:
1. Cut a 2 1/2 x 5-inch piece of stiffened felt. This will serve as the backdrop for your moss.


2. Cut a 5-inch piece of moss ribbon.

3. Use hot glue to attach the ribbon to the felt backdrop. Draw a line of glue around the edges and center of the piece of felt. Hold the felt on the hot glue until it has dried completely.
