Kokedama plant ball - DIY

I recently came across this craft, kokedama at Biome, $25. So I decided to try it as my December DIY project. 

What you'll need: 

Peat moss (available from your local nursery)

String/twine (to tie up your peat moss. Fluro is a fun choice or try something more subtle such as a natural or hessian twine)

A plant (to... plant!) 

What to do:

1. Soak the peat moss in water. Once saturated, wring out the peat moss and shape into a ball.

2. Bury your plant into the centre of the peat moss ball

3. Wrap your peat moss ball with the string

DONE!

Voila!
Mine is a little bit wonky, but definitely passable.

The peat moss will dry out gradually (no need to water the plant for the first few weeks) and stretch into the twine. Spritz the plant as needed and water into the stem of the plant with small amounts of water very occasionally (you don't want to over water and cause the centre of the plant ball to rot) Simple!

So, what do you think? Will you try making one yourself?! (A particularly great idea for #trashfree housewarming and thank you gifts)
