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
You are just beaming with talent. Thanks for sharing.

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!
