This is a unique topiary that goes perfectly with any occasion, anything from Thanksgiving to Christmas to Halloween or even Easter. There are a very few things you require for making one, •    A 4” pot preferably hand painted •    Sheet moss •    A block of foam •    Some oak moss •    White statice •    12” cinnamon stick •    Yellow Stock •    Ivy and stemmed strawflowers Now in a very simple procedure Mr. Craftslove will tell you how to make one, First, cut the piece of foam block aptly to fit the pot. Cut a second piece of foam for the head of the topiary as well. Chop the flower stems down to a same length and insert them into the foam intended to be the head. As far as the design is concerned you are the sole boss. Just try anything may be three colours or juts one to compliment the color of the pot. Now use little pieces of oak moss as fillers between the stems. Continue adding flowers until there’s no place left at all and then glue it onto the cinnamon stick. Now carefully place the stick into the base with lot of glue and cover the base with sheet moss leaving no open spaces. Now the last end, wind the ivy vines all around the stick to add that natural charm to the topiary. That’s sit; your dried flower topiary is all ready with its royal aura.
