Topiaries

My friend, Shelley, and I got together last week and made an awesome centerpiece for our tables.

We got the idea here. I altered the look a little to fit my preferences.

We started Thursday and worked for a few hours on it, then I worked all day on Friday finishing up the flowers. Sunday I put the finishing touches on it and here they are!

That is FIFTY fabric flowers. I have never made that many flowers in one sitting before. I think it's safe to say I've got the technique down pro.

Instead of gluing the flowers down to the burlap ball, I just pinned them in with pearl straight pins. Now I will be able to switch out the flowers for different holidays and seasons! (That was Shelley's fabulous idea)
