Here is a topiary I made out of some "craft scraps"
This little ugly plant thingy was left over from a decoration I bought at a garage sale for $1. As ugly as it was, I just couldn't throw it away, and I finally found a use for it!
First thing I did was pull all those stringy stems out with some pliers. It was really easy - they popped right out! (of course I saved them!)
Second I gave the little pot a coat of OIL RUBBED BRONZE spray paint.
While that was drying I went around the neighborhood in search of a dead branch.
It took a little muscle, but I was able to just shove the branch right in.
The topiary part was about an 8" strand of boxwood garland that was leftover from the wreath I made for my front porch. I just kind of wrapped it into a little ball and stuck it on top of the stick.
Isn't it cute? I LOVE it!
The fact that it was FREE makes me love it even more!
Fits perfect on my mini shelf wedges that I will show more of in my part 2 post.
What treasures do you have hiding in your closets? :)
