    I believe u can either get a round shaped object like a sphere like stone or a bio ball n then use those fine netting to tie down a thin layer of moss (in other words, wrap it) all round the object...try not to overlap each individual moss for a better effect. In a week or two, under the right conditions....u shld b able to see new leaves of the moss growing through the netting

    Hope i'm rite...veterans pls feel free to correct me

    I doubt the effect with be nice. As the Moss with overgrown the bio ball and the shape of the ball is gone. I do suggest you try other plants like riccia to be a riccia ball. It looks nicer.

    Yeah, I'd go with a moss ball that's already in the market.

    Riccia is also messy leh

    Those moss balls that you see, they are called marimo balls, made of a type of algae/moss/whatever. I don't think they can be replicated using moss, for one, you'll need a moss that looks matted and very fine in order to get the original look.
