5-Minute Craft: Desktop Moss Garden


This quick craft is a great way to green up your workspace--and also make use of those extra cardboard boxes you may have left over from the holidays.

You'll need:

  • glue gun
  • preserved mosses (try a mix of lichens, reindeer mosses, and Spanish mosses)
  • a small cardboard box

Make it:

  1. Tear off chucks of moss and press down into box until you find an arrangement you like. 
  2. Add a few drops of hot glue at the corners of each chunk. 
Just perch your creation on your desk for some lush foliage with absolutely zero maintenance.
