Supplies
Styrofoam Ball
(size up to you)
Styrofoam
Cube
Spanish Moss
Glue
Gun/Sticks
Newspaper for easy
clean up
Stand for Topiary
(mine is from Ross)
Rope or jute
Round Dowels
Green thread
(optional)
Place the Styrofoam
cube inside of your container. my cube was slightly larger then the container
and I just shoved in inside. Nice firm fit.
Insert dowel inside
sphere and cube (centered) Use hot glue to secured hold.
The rope I had on
hand was larger then I needed. I unraveled the strands to form smaller
stripes.
Jute would also be
a good item to use here.
I wrapped the rope
strand around the dowel for a "wood" effect. Gluing as I
wrapped.
This is a
must...you must watch Duck Dynasty while you craft. Otherwise, your whole
project will be incomplete. (*wink) Add hot glue to any area on your sphere and
attach moss. I started with the top of the sphere on my first topiary, but I
would recommend the bottom by the dowel as the area to start with. I did this
for my second topiary and it was much easier.
This project WILL
be messy! To secure all the loose pieces I used green thread, wrapped it all
over my topiary. You can only see the thread if you look really close.
Consider it a "hair
net" for your topiary.
