Hanging Flower Topiary

By Vixenmade @vixenMade
Now that my daughter is in her room downstairs, we're having fun adding special touches to it.  She especially likes to be included in the colors, finishes and accessories.  So when she insisted she wanted some flowers in her room, we headed to the dollar store to pick up some supplies and created something just for her.  
We had so much fun making her hanging flower topiary together.  Here's how we did it.


Here's what you need to create your own hanging flower topiary:
fake flowers (I used about 6 small bunches)
hot glue gun and glue
foam ball (we used one about 5 inches in size)
ribbon


First off, remove all your flowers from their stems.


Push the flower tips into the styrofoam, like this, arranging them how you like.

Once you've placed one and have made a hole.  

Add some hot glue to it and place the flower back on to adhere it.

Continue to glue and fill in until your ball is covered.


To have your topiary hanging, use a long piece of ribbon and a thumbtack.

Add some hot glue, place the end of the ribbon down and the thumbtack on top.  You may not need the the thumbtack, but I found the tack seemed to adhere the ribbon to the foam ball better.

Now you are finished!

We hung her flower topiary with some hanging butterflies we had leftover from her Pinkalicious party, remember that one?


She loves it and it looks completely sweet and girly in her room, just like her!
