Cute Little Topiaries

I love topiaries and had almost everything on hand to make some. I have seen lots of blog posts on making them, so decided to try them myself. It was a fun project.

I used the following materials:

terracotta pots

2 1/2" styrofoam balls

5/16" dowel

small block of styrofoam

bag of soft moss

bag of green moss

white paint

brown antique paint

glue gun and lots of glue sticks

foam brush

I started by painting the pots lightly with white paint, then wiped some off using a damp paper towel. I then applied some of the brown antique paint on very lightly.

I painted the dowels with the brown antique paint. I cut them to about 7". I stuck the dowel into the center of the foam ball. I added some hot glue in the hole to hold it.

I used the glue gun to apply hot glue in sections over the styrofoam ball. I put the soft moss on it, using my hand to make sure it stuck. (and tried to keep from burning the heck out of my hand) :) Once I got all of the moss on, I trimmed it a bit to make it into a ball shape.

I cut up pieces of the block of styrofoam and stuck it in the pot as tightly as I could. (This picture doesn't show the styrofoam wedged in the bottom of the pot, but it should) I drizzled lots of hot glue in there to hold everything in place. I then stuck the bottom of the dowel into the center.
