A while back, I came up with a different way to design the framed woodlands. A layer of moss is hot glued on and a variety of textures (seedpods, tillandsias, succulents, dehydrated mushrooms,…) create a small landscape. The flowers, maidenhair ferns and other botanicals that require a water source are inserted in small water tubes, which are covered with moss or paper thin bark. It is important to use flowers with thin stems to avoid much water displacement. The flowers can be replaced when needed. I like to design these frames, so that they look great with or without the flowers. Sometimes (in the first and last picture) I incorporate 2″ plants; the plastic pot is covered with moss. These little orchids are a great choice as they will bloom for several weeks.

The frames can be hung outdoors or inside and you will be able to enjoy them for a long time.
