Teacup Floral Topiary

These topiary is so springy and sooooo easy. I've had it in mind to make to my shabby-chic bathroom that I'm re-doing but thought it was worth whippin' up for my spring decor.

Gather your supplies:
Styrofoam ball (1 and a half), little fake flower petals (bought in a bundle and then pulled the petals off), a 12 inch long dowel and a teacup (so easy to find a thrift store)...and hot glue.

 Take your petals and stick them into the Styrofoam ball till you get it all covered and it looks like this:
Stick your dowel into the ball with a little glue on the end to help it stick better.

 Then cut a styrafoam ball in half, glue into your teacup and stick in your dowel and flower ball...again adding some glue to the tip of the stick...see here.

Add a little moss to cover the Styrofoam and BAM! Here's whatcha got. Easy peasy!
And sooo dang cute!
  
Alright ladies! I did it. I decided to finally started adding things to my etsy shop that I opened back in August. I will be selling vintage pieces I find while thrifting and also doing vinyl pieces as well. I might do a few craft things here and there (like those flower headbands I posted once).

So, I'm in the process of adding some things but I could use you support in spreading the word....and I'm keeping things VERY affordable because I hate it when I come across something on etsy I love and NEED and can't afford. 

Speaking of that...see that little easter tin besides the topiary? That's for sale on the shop. They are so cute for Easter and only $3 a piece.

So that's that!

Candy Topiaries...

Laura and I had such a fun time making these super cute candy halloween topiaries....
find the tutorial on how to make these (step by step) HERE
we mixed ours up a little with using gumballs, using tin cans for our base than using scrapbook paper that we had around the house to embelish them.
 my sister also had a really cute idea to glitter the sticks and styrofoam balls

 We got the candy, spiderweb, styrofoam balls and some of the ribbon at the dollar store,
so all in all it was a pretty cheap halloween decoration becasue we had everything else around the house!
HaPPy CrAfTiNG!
