Baby Shower Topiary by Jess

Hi friends!

It's Jess here today with a new creation to share!  I was thinking "Baby Shower" decorations this month...but I wanted to tie in Easter too! SOOO...behold...the Baby Shower/Easter Topiary!!!  I made two versions - you will see the second one at the end of the post!

 

This Topiary starts with a styrofoam easter egg shape. I used a flower punch to cut the shapes from Silver/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper  and Lavender/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper.  I totally forgot to count how many flowers I used - but it would depend on the size of the flower you are cutting and your styrofoam base.

 

Once I had all my pretty flowers cut out, I started pinning them into the egg. I fluffed each petal out as I went.  Once it was completely covered, I inserted a paper straw into the bottom of the egg to hold it up.  I took a small terra cotta pot and added a strip of the Lavender Glossy Paper around the top to decorate. Inside the pot in added a few river stones for weight and topped with some faux moss, then inserted my egg.  Finally, one more flower was added to the front of the pot and a pretty cabochon was added to the center.

 

 

You could totally change the colors to blues for a boy shower or neutrals for a surprise shower! They would make adorable centerpieces. I used the new Florals Pack to make this one:

For this pot, instead of the moss, I used shreds of Rinea Foiled Paper! :) 

Thanks for stopping by!  See you again soon!
