Moss letters--help! I suck at DIY

I saw this on Weddingbee:

Moss Covered Letters

And I decided I wanted to try it myself. Since I'm too lazy to cut out the letters myself, I got someone to do it for me on eBay. I got moss, I bought some small silk flowers to decorate it further. I couldn't find greening pins, but I thought I could just glue it like the Bee says. Well, the bag has hardly any moss in it, it made my hands itch terribly, it did NOT stick to the letter at all, and it basically looked like crap.

So, I'm left with two 20' tall pink foam letters, a bag of moss, and some silk flowers. I could buy more moss, and I see that Save-On-Crafts has greening pins for $6, just way more than I'd ever need. What should I do? Try again? Cover the letters with fabric? I thought about covering them entirely with silk flowers, but they're big, it would take a LOT of flowers.

I wish I knew someone I could pay to finish this project.

those letters look awsome, I'm sorry your having such trouble, did you try spray adhesive? it holds much heavier stuff and shuold hold the moss.
