Today I am so excited to share with you a tutorial for a very SIMPLE Spring Moss Topiary!
I went into Hobby Lobby the other day for one thing. Just one thing. Honest.
But then I found these birds...
Aren't they so cute! I just had to have them. (They were 50% off too!)
And then I needed someplace to put them. So I started stewing on the perfect spring ensemble for my mantle.
I happened to have a cone topiary form sitting around, so I took some spring-green moss and hot glued it to the cone form.
Then I put it in a terra cotta container that I painted with a coat of ivory craft paint.
Seriously. It's that easy!
I love how simple it was to bring a bit of spring into my home!
This idea was also shared in The Current paper.

Hobby Lobby is like a bag of chips....you can't eat just one....you can't buy just one! LOL<br /><br />I LOVE your topiary! I've had something like this swirling around in my head....but I never dreamed it would be this easy. Thanks for the tutorial. 🙂

Hi Holly! I bought one of these forms at the thrift store for $1! I knew that someday I would have a use for it! Thank you for inspiring me! I have several bags of moss too, so this is a $0 Cash out of pocket craft!<br />Thanks again and have a wonderful week!
