You might recognize this topiary from my friend Katie's baby shower that I posted a few weeks ago. {You can see it HERE.} It goes along with THIS matching wreath. I love how soft and girly it turned out. Here's how I did it!
I made the rosettes using THESE instructions and then tucked a piece of light green tulle behind the rosettes to add just a touch of contrast. {Using pearlized corsage pins adds a fancy touch.}
I made a variety of roses by varying how tight I wrapped the tulle. I like the bigger rosettes for the look of this topiary, plus the bigger the roses, the fewer you have to make.
I used this cute box I got at Tai Pan a few months ago and painted it cream.
Next, I wrapped some tulle around the stem and tied a bow around the top.
Finally, I pinned green tulle at the base to cover the Styrofoam bottom.
Super easy and so beautiful!
Another fun version I can't wait to make is a red one and add some bling for Christmas or Valentine's Day! I'm feeling a Pajama Crafting Day coming on already! :)
Have fun making the world a cuter place!
