How Do You Make A Faux Topiary?
A topiary is a floral arrangement that generally uses fresh plants, such as ivy, formed into a shape such as a ball or heart. A basic topiary consists of a pot with a dowel that holds a sphere of flowers or foliage. Use artificial flowers and greenery to create an arrangement that lasts for many years. A faux topiary can be customized to include various colors and types of artificial flowers according to your taste, the season or the occasion. Cut a third off of one Styrofoam ball so that it can easily fit within the pot. Glue the Styrofoam ball to the pot with a glue gun, placing the ball so that the rounded portion is slightly sticking out from the pot. Make a hole in the second Styrofoam ball by placing the stick or dowel approximately an inch into the ball. The dowel should be twice as long as the pot is deep, plus 2 inches. Remove the stick or dowel. Glue artificial flowers onto the second Styrofoam ball using the glue gun. Cover the entire surface of the ball other than the hole
