Glue a snippet of moss to a decorative rock with floral glue
Cut the moss with sharp scissors to create a flat surface for the glue
Gently pat the moss down to make sure it adheres without pressing it flat
Stack a few more decorative rocks around the moss
Glue in the succulents. The succulents will root in the moist moss
Glue in a few dried roots for texture
I make tiny test tubes from drinking straws to keep small flowers hydrated. See the Tutorial below for detailed instructions
Cut a drinking straw test tube smaller to nestle in the moss
With a pair of tweezers open a cavity for the drinking straw to nestle in
Glue in the drinking straw.
Fill the drinking straw with water.
See the Tutorial below for detailed instructions on how I make my own syringe with tube to fill the tine tubes with water
Place the flowers in the drinking straw tube to keep it hydrated. Replace the flowers and fill the tube as needed. the rest of the design should last for a long time
