The idea to go for extraordinary design also works well with the bape rug of a bigger size.

Step 1. Pick moss from your garden or backyard. The easiest way is to remove the moss from trees, rocks, or other surfaces. You could use the scraper by placing it under one corner of the moss and slowly lifting it from the surface it's attached to.

Step 2. Spread the collected moss on a dry surface. Clean it from all the possible additions it could have from growing outside. 

Step 3. Remove the moisture from the moss by placing it on a towel or any other surface to absorb it. Press it against the surface gently, so it is absorbed.

Step 4. Place a light net over the moss, which could prevent it from blowing. Fresh moss tends to be folded or twisted while drying. Keep the moss in this stage for several days to dry properly. Use unique preservation products after to make moss not lose its shape.
