Topiary and a tutorial

I know,,,, I know ....... there have been so many tutorials on Topiary.
                        But I just wanted to make my own.
I love them all, store bought, fresh. Wuslu had one on their special today. $29.90






Well I just made mine for $3.25.  Sorry Wuslu I try to save whenever I can.

I picked a topiary ball at the dollar store for $2.00

Ivy was $1.25.

A small fallen branch 0.

Black urn (MINE) a clay pot, ceramic dish, what ever works for you.

Moss(ALREADY HAD)

$ STORE CLAY (already had)

 If you have oasis (green floral foam) works well.

Let's now join the pieces.
First put the clay in the urn.

Then comes the branch.

Next I pushed the topiary ball on the branch.( NO GLUE NEEDED)

Then came the moss.

Then I unraveled the ivy and started at the top and wove it around the branch and
then wove it on the moss.  Let a little hang over the edge.

There you have it. An elegant piece to display. On a counter,
an island, a table.,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Now try one for yourself.

                                          H ave a great day!
