Real mosses can be dried and preserved to easily mimic a living picture. This moss picture is an easy, DIY low-maintenance decoration to add some green to your space. All you need is a glue gun, moss, plywood, and a frame to pull it all together. Follow this step-by-step guide to make your own living frame.
We chose to use two different kinds of moss for our picture: mood moss and reindeer moss. Mood moss has been dried and preserved. A coloring agent helps the moss color stay vivid. Reindeer moss is lighter-colored than mood moss, ranging in colors like chartreuse, forest, and fawn. We decided to give our moss picture a more natural look, so we used chartreuse and white reindeer moss to contrast green mood moss.
Plant this low-care, living wreath to hang on your doorway, fence, or deck for beauty through the season.
Attach the plywood to the back of the frame to add extra support. Put a little bit of hot glue down on the inside of the frame and arrange your dried moss. Press down firmly on the moss to adhere it to the frame and hold it in place.

Add in some air plants for some extra texture, creating little pockets inside of the frame so they can sit and easily be removed for watering. We even added some sponge mushroom into the mix. Water every 7 to 10 days.
Because air plants are so easy to grow and care for, they are perfect for those with a fear of houseplants.
