DIY Topiary

This project has been one on my to-do list for a while now after seeing TONS of inspiration all over the place.



I'm not sure why I sat with the supplies for about a month before making it, because it took me about 1/2hr and was soooo easy!!



Best part is...it was done in time for the fall decor to come out of storage.
Since I broke the glass hurricane lamp that was supposed to be the centerpiece on my hallway table, this was a great fill-in!
(I also cut myself, but I'll try and keep the drama to a minimum)



Here's the supplies I used for the topiary:
-Styrofoam ball (Dollar store) $1
-Pot (already had one)
-Moss
-Hot Glue Gun & Glue
-Stick (a straight one) or dowel
-Foam Brick



The process was simple.
Cut a foam brick to fit into your pot.
Cover foam in moss
Glue moss onto your foam ball.
Stick moss ball into stick, and stick into foam in pot.
DONE!



Here's some pics!










and here's a close up of the mini pumpkins I found at the dollar store (a whole bag for $1)






The tablescape:



Also from the dollar store was this mini wreath I put around the glass bowl

And since today is the first day of Autumn, I can officially say...

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!

Gorgeous as ever. I love reading your posts. I'm getting ready to move into my own space and goodness knows I need decorating ideas, and if these aren't the easiest, least expensive ideas I don't know what are.
