Paper flower topiary
I decided to get crafty today and created this paper flower topiary. I’ve seen these around and thought that it was simple enough for even me to do it.
I used a large styrofoam ball, about 8” wide. I cut out two sizes of flowers, a larger flower in blue and a smaller flower in white.
To save some time, I placed a stack of 4 or 5 together and then bent the petals up.
I didn’t have just one colour of pins, so I used what I had, multi-coloured. Place the styrofoam in a can or something similar to keep it steady while inserting the pins.
I'm sharing in the fun at the parties found here

ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome! I saw some bunnie rabbits done the same way this weekend at a little shop and I really loved them.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do this one for sure.
Back in the late 80's/early 90's, Wal-Mart used to sell these doll forms and the skirt was made of styrofoam. The kit included sequins and pins to stick the sequins to the skirt. I did dozens of those things. Your topiary is just a really great update to them.
Thanks for sharing!
