  • White paper for letters
  • Paper cutter, die cut machine, or purchase pre-cut letters

How to Make a DIY Rustic Baby Shower Banner with Moss

Before we get started, just a quick warning, this moss can get really messy, and you’ll probably find your hands like this. I’d recommend putting something down to work on so your clean-up is easier!

A picture of a woman's hands with faux crafting moss stuck all over her fingers.

Step 1. Cut out cardboard pendants.

I used old recycled cardboard for the pendants. Using cardboard is great because it is free!

I know you always have a ton of cardboard boxes sitting around, right? Check out these cardboard crafts for adults for more genius ideas.

Start by cutting the cardboard pendants about 6 inches wide at the top and about 8 inches tall. I used a straight edge to trace the pendants.

To get them nice and square, just make sure you’re creating the point in the exact middle of the top line and just connect the dots!

Step 2. Cover the pendants with moss.

A nine image collages shows all the steps involved in covering cardboard triangle flag shapes with crafting moss. The steps include cutting moss sheets, adding craft glue, and attaching the moss to the cardboard.

Cut out the sheet moss so you have a 1/2-inch to 1-inch border to wrap around the back. Peel off the paper backing from the moss. Add lots of glue to your cardboard and press down on the back of the moss. I held it there for about 20 seconds before moving on.

Next, add glue to the border and a thin line on the edge of the cardboard. Then fold the moss over the back edge and hold it in place until the glue adheres (20-30 seconds).

I did each edge separately. Trim off any excess moss on the corners. Repeat the process for all of your pendants.

Step 3. Cut your letters out and attach them with glue.

I don’t have a picture of this because my wonderful mother cut these letters out for me and brought them to the shower for me. I have no idea where my Silhouette Cameo paper cutter is in my garage… oh the joys of renovating and moving!

Step 4. Assemble your moss banner for a rustic woodland baby shower.

A woman works on stringing together all the elements for a rustic woodland animal themed baby shower banner. The moss-covered flags and woodland animal pictures lay on a covered table, while a person uses twine to string the flags together.

We did the assembly of the banner on-site because it was easier to transport it all in separate pieces.

Figure out how long it needs to be for the area where you are hanging the banner, and spread out the pendants and animals (optional) accordingly.

We just used some twine and clothespins to attach. I covered those clothespins with fun wood-looking washi tape I found at Hobby Lobby.

I added some moss-covered hearts at the end. I made them using the same process as the pendants.

Did this DIY baby shower banner turn out so cute? It was so easy to make and really added a lot to our decorations at the rustic woodland baby shower.
