Pottery Barn Moss Balls

Tweet

Have you seen these Moss Spheres from Pottery Barn?

I'm in love with them but not their price tag. For the small sphere it was $21 and the large was $24. I knew I could make these cheaper.

So off to Micheal's I went to get my supplies:

1 Bage of Moss ($4.49)

2 Foam Spheres ($9.00)

1 bottle Elmer's Glue (1.27)

1 Green Thread ($0.35)

Total: $15.11 for two

I used two plastic plates. One to put the glue on, the other for the moss. Take the foam ball and roll it in the glue.

Then roll the glue ball in the moss. The foam ball with the moss attached will look kind of messy until the thread is wound around it.

The last step is to wind thread around the ball.

Pottery Barn Sisal Rug

Last week I got my new Pottery Barn catalog and saw that the Sisal rug was finally on sale. I've been eyeing this rug for about 6 months. So, on Friday night, Christopher and I went to our local Pottery Barn and checked out the Sisal Rug. We both loved it and ended up buying the rug in Chino. It was on sale for $159.00 for a 5x8. We still had a gift card for Pottery Barn worth $50, so our total for the rug was $109 plus tax, giving us a grand total of $116.00.

The dining room is my focus for decorating right now and I think the rug is a good start. Here's a picture of the rug in the dining room.

What do you think?
