Easter Topiaries

Topiaries seem to be the hot decor item this Easter. I’ve been seeing them everywhere! They are all over blogland and in catalogues. I decided to make them with Little Finch rather than buy already made ones. I’m a sucker for doing crafts with my girlie! All of our items were purchased at the dollar store so this project was really cheap and lots of fun! Hope you enjoy them!

What to see how we made them?

5-inch floral foam balls used as the base for making DIY Easter topiaries | gout — We used 5″ floral foam balls

A floral foam ball being cut in half with a sharp knife, placed in a small bowl to catch foam crumbs. | gtik — Cut foam balls in half using a sharp knife. I placed it in a small bowl so the “crumbs” of the foam wouldnt get everywhere

Half of a floral foam ball hot glued onto the rim of a small flower pot for a topiary base. | Gathered In The Kitchen — Hot glue the foam to the rim of your flower pots

A foam ball with glue spread across the surface to prepare for moss application | Gathered In The Kitchen — Spread regular glue all over the foam ball

Close-up of glue being spread evenly on the foam ball using a finger for full coverage. | Gathered In The Kitchen — Dont be shy – use your finger to really spread it everywhere

Craft moss being added to the glued foam ball to create a textured topiary look | Gathered In The Kitchen — Top with craft moss (I wouldnt really recommend the stuff from the dollar store, it was really stiff and hard to get it to lay the way we wanted)

blue sheer butterflies from Dollar Tree | Gathered In The Kitchen — Top with whatever you want – We found these at the dollar store and thought they looked Spring-y

rolling paper towels on a wooden dowel rod | Gathered In The Kitchen — I had one egg S&P shaker left (*see link below for that craft project) and thought it would look Easter-y on top of the topiary. I took out the bottom plug of the shaker and cut a dowel rod about 5″ long. I wrapped the bottom in a paper towel

A paper towel wrapped around a dowel rod to help secure an ornament as a topiary topper. | Gathered In The Kitchen — Wrap tightly

A dowel rod inserted into the bottom of a shaker to attach it securely to the topiary. | Gathered In The Kitchen — Shove it in the bottom hole. I didnt want to hot glue the stick in there in case I ever decide to use this shaker again
