Hydrangea and Moss Cubes

Lovely, lush hydrangeas, or any floral combination of your choice, compliment these beautiful moss-covered cubes and bring a natural element to your home decor. Start with a foam base and create a conversation starter.

Materials:

• STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam:
  • Cubes, 5", two
• Six multi-color silk hydrangea stems
• Green sheet moss, two bags
• Optional: green flower-safe spray paint
• Ruler
• Wire cutters or floral shears
• Spray adhesive (be sure it's safe for foam)
• Low temperature glue gun and glue sticks
• White, thick craft glue
   

Steps:

1. Spray one side of first foam cube with adhesive; cover with moss. Repeat to cover three remaining sides and top of cube. Cover second cube with moss in same way. Let dry completely.
    
2. For a brighter color, spray paint moss-covered cubes with two to three coats of paint (optional); let dry.
    
3. Trim flower stems to 4" long. Apply glue to stem ends and insert three into top of each cube.
