I went into Hobby Lobby the other day for one thing. Just one thing. Honest.
But then I found these birds...
And then I needed someplace to put them. So I started stewing on the perfect spring ensemble for my mantle.
I happened to have a cone topiary form sitting around, so I took some spring-green moss and hot glued it to the cone form.
Then I put it in a terra cotta container that I painted with a coat of ivory craft paint.
Seriously. It's that easy!
I love how simple it was to bring a bit of spring into my home!
This idea was also shared in The Current paper.

Awwww I love your new birdies. Your topiary looks amazing! It is really hard to go in Hobby Lobby and just get one thing. lol
Very pretty! I love the cone shape. And the blue birds are a lovely spring touch. Visiting from CRAFT.

I love the topiary. So simple to do but looks so refined and so fresh, just in time for Spring!
Hobby Lobby is like a bag of chips....you can't eat just one....you can't buy just one! LOL
I LOVE your topiary! I've had something like this swirling around in my head....but I never dreamed it would be this easy. Thanks for the tutorial. :)
I love this! I am going to run out to the craft store in the morning!! {{smiles}}
Hi Holly! I bought one of these forms at the thrift store for $1! I knew that someday I would have a use for it! Thank you for inspiring me! I have several bags of moss too, so this is a $0 Cash out of pocket craft!
Thanks again and have a wonderful week!
