-
styrofoam spheres, one small and one medium
-
straight branch
-
sheet moss
-
oasis floral foam
-
small pot
-
hot glue gun and glue
STEP ONE: Push the branch all the way through the larger styrofoam sphere, and push the tip of the branch halfway through the smaller sphere. Sort of like a shish kabob 😀 Once the spheres are placed to your liking, use your hot glue gun to run a bead of hot glue around where the sphere and branch meet to keep them from sliding.
STEP TWO: Attach moss to spheres with hot glue.
STEP THREE: Place oasis foam in the bottom of the pot and stick in your topiary.
STEP FOUR: Hot glue moss to the top of the oasis.

I’ve not posted much on the progress of our new house because up until now there hasn’t been much progress. We were originally suppose to close Nov. 15th. Didn’t happen. December 12th. Ha!

glitter reindeer art
Thanks to my husband, I had a couple of free minutes to myself the other day and decided to tackle a Pinterest project I was wanting to try for Christmas. Best part – it didn’t cost me a thing! I also drew up another quick piece of art (based off stationary I saw here) to…
Gallery Wall Refresh
Our living room gallery wall around the tv has been bugging me lately. I have been moving away from the bright white look in our home to one that feels warmer. This doesn’t involve big drastic changes, but small ones that can make a difference in how the entire room feels. With the help of…
Well just pull my heart out and stomp on it
What should Izzy be for Halloween this year? I’ve been asking myself this question pretty much since Halloween ended last year. I know, I’m ridiculous. I’ve searched the internet non-stop trying to find an idea for the perfect costume. Finally found the cutest little owl costume at Pottery Barn Kids’ website. I’m in love! Being…
Teen’s Closet Makeover Plans
There are some projects that have been on the to-do list for several years. Giving our oldest a more functional closet is one of those projects.

This looks so simple!!! I want to make bigger topes for inside my double front doors. Do you think this could be done with the same instructions?? What size balls though??? Thanks.
I made larger ones for outside the front door using the same technique but using large grapevine spheres. It's MUCH more cost effective than buying huge styrofoam balls! Hope this helps!
