First, you need to select the proper growing site for your moss. Moss needs a cool, moist, shady area in order to survive.
One way to make a moss garden is to take one cup of plain yogurt and 1 cup of water and a handful of moss and toss it in the blender and make a slurry. Then you can paint the moss slurry on the area where you want to have moss grow. Another mouse making recipe is to mix up 1 quart buttermilk, 1 pint composted manure, and one pint of moss.

In order to get the moss to stick you must first use metal brush lightly scratch the surface of your container is creates small cracks where your moss can stick in grow.
