Easter Topiarys

With February half over and Easter right around the corner, we can bring out the Easter decor and look ahead to Spring <3 .  The next few weeks, I am going to share some very simple, yet charming diy crafts.  When I say simple, I mean simple.  I even went as far as shopping my own home for everything but the styrofoam in this project.

I love topiarys, don’t you?  They come in so many different sizes and varieties, so using them for indoor and/or outside decor provides instant gratification.  This diy craft utilizes marbles and faux flowers.  If you are into crafts, most likely you have  plenty of each.

I tried growing herbs one year, didn’t do so hot, but I enjoyed the left over pots 😉 – I love the color pink, so naturally I chose that for the color of spray paint to use.  I had a bundle of bamboo BBQ skewers that I used for the stem.  You can use a dowel rod, or perhaps even straws.


I cut a piece of styrofoam to fit the pot tightly around the inside.  Ignore the center, I added some hot glue and sand, and then realized I hadn’t taken a picture to show the inside.  So, anyway, poke your stick in the center of the foam inside the pot and the other end into the styrofoam ball.   Fill the pot with either sand or dirt.  Whatever you fill the pot with should be somewhat dense to keep it weighted; otherwise it will be top heavy.

I should note, that I decided to add 2 more sticks for sturdiness, once I started adding the marbles to the top, it seemed to heavy for just 1.

I’ve had these Easter marbles for years.  I decided to re-purpose them instead of using them for vase fillers.  Hot glue the marbles in a random order to the ball.


I simply wrapped the 3 center rods with pink ribbon and tied another piece around the center, and add Easter grass.  I am still finding Easter grass in the kitchen, and I constructed this craft a week ago. Such is life 😉 .  Cute isn’t it?

IMG_3943 I also made a smaller topiary and used faux flowers and beads.  Just simply take apart the inside of the flower and you are left with several layers to use in decorating your topiary.  Sequins is fun to use anytime.  I wrapped a strand around the pot for added decoration and used a few single sequin on the topiary tops.  My years and years of scrap-booking sure has allowed for a variety of embellishments 🙂 .

These turned out so cute, and I had so much fun making them.  I decided to put together a simple table setting in order to highlight how festive they are.

I hope you enjoy this fun and easy project.  I look forward to showing you my Easter tablescape in a few weeks.  Come back next week for another easy craft.

    I believe what you typed was very logical. However, think about this, what if you were to write a awesome post title?
    I ain’t saying your information isn’t good., however what if you
    added something to possibly get a person’s attention? I mean Easter Topiarys is a little boring.
    You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how
    they write news headlines to get viewers interested. You might add a related
    video or a pic or two to grab people excited about what
    you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your posts a little bit more interesting.

    This is the right website for everyone who wishes to understand this topic.
    You realize a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa).

    Good day! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d
    ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest
    writing a blog post or vice-versa? My site discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and
    I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you might be interested feel free to send me an email. I
    look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you
    wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that,
    this is wonderful blog. A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.

    You actually make it seem so easy along with your presentation but I
    find this matter to be really one thing which I
    think I might never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely
    wide for me. I’m looking forward to your next publish, I’ll attempt

My bookcases have been styled the same for a few m My bookcases have been styled the same for a few months now 😯 and I still don’t want to change them.  I told myself to make more intentional purchases and it has been nice to not feel the urge for constant change. We are still talking bookcase styling.. don’t get ahead of yourself 😅 I still have lots of room for growth in other areas.
I’m sharing tons of textured vases/vessels/pots.. whatever you want to call them in stories!!

Question I receive often: What do you do with your cushions when it rains? 
* nothing! I stand them up to dry and they are good to go! Mother Nature is way to unpredictable in the Midwest, I wouldn’t be able to time it and I don’t have room for large cushion storage that is easy access.
