It was one of those moments where I had an idea and it seemed too good to be true!
This little topiary always makes the cut though.And, actually, it often stays out all year long because it’s just so cute and natural-looking..
If you’d like to make your own, all you need is a cheap bag of plastic eggs and a bag of craft moss.You can usually find each of these at the dollar store and you’ll probably be able to make several topiaries with these supplies..So, you start out with some basic plastic eggs.
Grab your hot glue gun and start gluing them together.You’ll want to make a ring of about 4 eggs on the bottom and then start building up from there.
I like to make sure they look a little random.
It’s really quick and easy to get a nice shape and you really don’t need to shell out the $10-$15 that those foam forms can sometimes cost.. Next, you’ll need to paint it!Begin with the creativity as together you brainstorm ideas and feasibility.
Once a design is decided upon, move along with the planning process, do the math, build a materials list and go shopping.Finally, lay out your supplies from the hardware store and line up the tools required.
Explain what each tool and component will do..Most of all, make sure that everyone has fun!.A deciduous tree planted on the West, South, or East side of your home can save Summer home cooling energy costs up to 30%!
