How to Use

1. Open the pack and tease the clumps apart by hand into the size you want.
2. Dry fit the pieces on your base before gluing, since moss compresses and looks smaller once fixed.
3. Fix with hot glue for speed, or white glue where you want time to reposition.
4. For resin, seal the moss with a thin coat of glue or resin first so it does not soak up the pour.
5. Keep the finished piece out of direct sun and away from damp, which fade and spoil it.

Before You Buy

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this real moss or artificial?
It is real preserved reindeer lichen, dried and dyed. That is why it feels springy and every clump is a different shape.

Do I need to water it?
No. It is preserved, so it needs no water, no soil and no light. Watering it will make it rot.

How is dark green different from forest green?
Dark green is the darkest in the jar range and reads as deep shade. Forest green sits just above it and suits open woodland.

Can I set it in epoxy resin?
Yes, and it is one of the most popular uses. Seal it with a thin glue or resin coat first so the pour does not soak into the lichen and darken it.
