Topiary Completed!!

I finished a topiary for the top of our piano!! Here it is in all its glory! :) I still need to find a white urn for it and I think I will shorten the stick on it when I change it into an urn.


Here is what the topiary started out as. . .

It is a topiary that I found at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago for around 5.00. I got the bunches of boxwood greenery from Hobby Lobby. I used a hot glue gun to glue on green moss instead of the spanish moss. Click here to see one of the tutorials that inspired me to make my own topiary.

I have been working on some other things to decorate the top of the piano as well. I used beans and twine to make some decor balls. Here is a picture of a bowl of more decor balls the kids and I made in a bowl I painted white.


I also used twine to wrap around an old glass soda bottle and painted a couple of pitchers that I had around the house white. I found the star on sale recently too! I think I will paint the clock black and distress it a little as I did the end table in this post. It probably needs to be lowered on the wall a little as well. Do you have any suggestions for me? What have you been working on lately?
