Instructions:
DESIGN & COMPOSITION
1. Sufficient preserved mosses are provided within the kit to complete this project
2. To start, lay the hardscape elements which include the cork bark and driftwood on the frame loosely. They need to be glued onto the frame directly, so make sure to consider and ensure they have enough contact points while positioning.
3. Next, lay the preserved bolmosses, preserve reindeer mosses and preserve florals to form an interesting composition.
*Tip: there is no ‘perfect’ composition, let your creativity flows and imagination fly
MOUNTING
4. Once you’re settled on the composition, power up the hot glue gun (not included), insert the hot melt adhesive sticks, and glue the mosses onto the frame.
*Note: Parental guidance is advised, handle the hot glue gun with care
5. Glue the elements one at a time, glue the hardscape element first as they require sufficient contact point to remain fixed on the frame.
6. Next, start working on the softscape elements. Remove the mosses one at a time and glue them from the top down, or bottom up.
7. Insert the preserved florals only at the last stage, they do not require any form of adhesive, simply insert them between or into the mosses.
