Valentine’s Day Topiary
February 5, 2009
We don’t have much in the way of Valentine’s Day decorations around here. I saw this idea in a magazine I read while I was recovering from surgery. I caught up on many magazines during those two weeks!
During nap time today, I whipped up this faux topiary. I cut hearts out of felt and used pins to attach them to a Styrofoam ball.
Then I stuck the ball on a dowel and into some Styrofoam in the little pail I found. I added a few rocks to the pail for added weight. Then I cut strips of paper and curled them to fill the rest of the pail.
Finally, a few ribbons finished the topiary.

That is absolutely gorgoeous! I wouldn’t even be able to cut out a single felt heart, let alone assemble an entire topiary. Great job!

That’s adorable! There is no way I could manage to just “whip that up” during nap time…I am so craft dumb!
