Ingredients
- Felt sheets in various colors (red, pink, white, or preferred shades)
- Foam craft ball (about 4-6 inches in diameter)
- Wooden dowel or stick (approximately 12 inches long)
- Small flower pot or decorative container
- Craft glue or hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
- Styrofoam or floral foam (optional)
- Decorative ribbon (optional)
- Grass or moss for embellishment (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by cutting out heart shapes from the felt. Vary the sizes for visual interest; smaller hearts can be layered over larger ones.
- Take your foam ball and gently insert one end of the wooden dowel into the bottom, making sure it’s stable.
- Starting with the largest felt hearts, affix them to the foam ball using craft glue.
- Layer smaller hearts over the larger ones, creating depth and interest.
- If you’re using a flower pot, fill the bottom with Styrofoam or floral foam for support.
- Once your topiary is balanced, apply glue to the pot and add decorative grass or moss, if desired.
- For a finishing touch, tie a ribbon around the dowel, allowing it to drape gracefully.
- Allow everything to dry completely, then find the perfect spot to display your topiary.
Notes
Feel free to mix in different materials or styles to personalize your topiary.
