Craft a luscious moss-and-berry suspension ornament for a touch of mother nature at your Christmas décor
In this article, we'll show you how to make a beautiful moss ring wreath adorned with berries and flowers. Here's what you'll need:
- A dry foam ring or a grapevine wreath as the base
- Sheet moss or loose moss
- Floral pins or hot glue
- Greenery (not specified)
- Berries (artificial or real, not specified)
- Medium to small flowers (specific types not provided)
- Four lengths of garden string and ribbon, each 100cm long
- Moss (for twining and tucking into the wire frames)
Follow these steps to create your natural-looking moss wreath with floral and berry accents:
- Prepare the base:
- If using floral foam, soak it in water for about a minute to saturate it.
- Cover with moss:
- Firmly attach moss all around the ring using floral pins or hot glue, covering the foam or base evenly for a full mossy look.
- Add greenery:
- Insert or pin stems of greenery around the moss base to add texture and cover any visible foam.
- Attach berries:
- Secure berries evenly spaced around the ring, tucking stems into the foam or wiring them to the base.
- Incorporate flowers:
- Cut flowers with 2–3 inch stems and insert them into the base, mixing larger flowers first and filling gaps with smaller ones.
- Secure delicate flowers last to avoid damage.
- Fill gaps and adjust:
- Add small filler flowers or additional greenery to cover any empty spaces.
- Make sure the wreath looks balanced and full from all angles.

Please note that the article does not provide specific instructions on how to use the string and ribbon or how to find the suggested flowers. Also, the berries of black bryony are poisonous, so be cautious if using real berries in your arrangement.
This method creates a charming and versatile wreath that can be used for door decor or as a table centerpiece. Enjoy creating your unique moss ring wreath!
