Java Moss - I've Tied Some To A Bit Of Wood

[Curiosity101]

I have attached it to a small piece of wood, but now have loads and loads left over. At the mo it's just stuffed behind my filter pipe until I can work out what to do with it.
It doesn't seem to want to float...yet I thought it was meant to?

Anyways, any ideas as to what else I can do with it would be appreciated. I was debating getting some plastic or metal mesh (aquarium safe of course), and tying it to that to create a small carpet.
Much in the same way I was going to do with some flame moss I thought about ordering, would this work?

This is what ive done with mine jus tied it to some slate in various places round the tank..

either sell it or attatch it thicker

Surely someone has some more ideas on what I can do with it though.

Other ways it can be used as decoration etc.
I certainly don't want to get rid of it. I was trying to think of a way I could create a floating layer of moss...so far I came up with tying some to bits of cork (as it doesn't seem to want to float on it's own)

not sure but could you glue ot to some rock or wood

attach it to plastic mesh and use it as a carpet

have seen it on coconut caves as well

in theory you can do what you want with it

Or this, floating moss balls, tie moss to ping pong ball, tie ping pong ball to string, tie rock or pebble to string to weigh it down

Some great ideas! Thanks
And it made me have one of my own, I'm thinking... very twisty bit of wood that looks like a tree. Attach to top bits, home-made underwater tree.
It'll obviously only work if I can find the right bit of wood, but the top level of my tank does look a bit bare. It'd like to be able to create something that would give my dwarf croaking gouramis somewhere safe to be slightly closer to the surface.

Oh and am I right in thinking that java moss doesn't naturally float?

V v v amazing. Think that picture...but after a 6 month drought(if it was a real tree out of water) and that's more like what my final product will look like if I try to do a tree
