Okay, the story goes like this: I was scrolling through the products section on etsy and I saw these babies!

Materials:
Really easy to get materials: Preserve moss, Ring finding and glue!
Step 1: Shred/Tear the moss into tiny pieces. I used a tweezer to pick them up 'cos it will really get messy when you start to piece them up onto the ring!
Step 2: Coat the ring base with glue.
Step 3: Work fast before the glue dries! Use a tweezer and start arranging the moss onto the ring finding. When the glue dries up, don't worry! Use a cotton bud to apply more glue and use more moss to cover it up.
Step 4: Keep adding more moss until it covers the entire ring base and give it a good shake to make sure everything is glued in place!
I tried to make the moss look more natural and arranged them in all directions, like it is growing on the ring.
I made another one with a miniature clay house to add a little cuteness to it! Of course, there are loads of ideas to make them like pouring resin over the moss ( here is an easy tutorial from Brit+Co to get you started!) , maybe a miniature animal perhaps?
