Dollar Tree Topiaries...

I finally got around to using some of my Dollar Tree stuff that I bought months ago for a topiary. I had such a good time making this little beauty that I decided I needed to make a couple more, but when I went back my store no longer had the foam balls. If yours does I suggest you run over there and snatch them up because they are a heck of a deal at $1. Even when Hobby Lobby marks them half off they aren't this cheap. ANYWAY, back to the task at hand.

Here are the supplies you will need. All of which I got at the Dollar Tree (except my glue gun).

• 2 Foam balls


• Spanish or Green Moss


• Small Pot


• Floral Foam


• Dowel rod


• Hot glue

Quite simply, line up your balls, slide them on your painted dowel rod, and slowly cover the foam balls with glue and moss a small section at a time. When they are all covered, insert the dowel rod into the foam form and then glue it in place and add moss to the top of the pot. I added some embellishments I had on hand like ribbon and a bird's nest, but this literally cost me $5 and it is so stinkin' cute.

I am gonna try to make some Christmas topiaries this year, but this is all I had on hand. I wanted to give you all the heads up on this deal in case you find them in your stores. Happy bargain hunting!
