Miniature Moss Plate Garden

I’m back! Sorry, I forgot to continue the CHRIST-mas article series, but anyways I am posting some creative ideas today…

I borrowed a book called “366 Things To Do” from my Bestie friend Dani,(Will be posting about my friends moreJ). I did a craft there that I really liked;it was a “Plate Garden”. 

Materials needed:

·       A plate (Of course...)

·       Dried or fresh moss for grass

·       Soil for dirt

·       Gravel and sand for path

·       Some small flowers, leaves, stones and plants

·       Sticks(optional)

I grabbed two younger cousins to do this with me. So we first scrapped some moss with our hands and sticks (Eww…) and placed them in the Bilao to dry them up, (Do this first to give the mosses some time to dry). Then you place the soil/dirt ¾ on the plate and give the ¼ space for the path. We also gathered some small flowers, leaves, and stones and placed them on the dirt side of the plate along with the dried mosses. I also got some sticks, tied them with my yarn, and place a small, creeping weed plant to make it look like a vine that was growing (probably Grapes or Ampalaya). Finally, we dug some gravel and sand for the path. 

As you can see this is the place where we scrapped the moss...Eww!

Then when the moss was already dried, we started making our plate garden along with some gravel and sand first of course...

This is my plate...

This is my girl cousin's plate....(forgot to picture the other plate of my boy cousin...-_- soweee...)

Ta Da! We now have our own miniature garden…in a plate!

Hope you can try them too and have fun! ^_^
