Personalized Topiaries

I L.O.V.E. topiaries.

There is just something so charming about them.

And I think my love of all things personalized, goes without saying. Texans just love to brand things.

This was a very inexpensive project.

The cute little pots came from the Dollar store in a 3 pack, in the wedding favor section. Being for weddings, they were white, so I spray painted them with glossy black paint. To lazy to make a stencil, I free handed the letters with a white paint pen.


My Aunt gave me the styrofoam balls. The moss also came from the dollar store.

I tried several different methods to glue the moss on, including rolling it in modge podge, and then putting the moss on, and spray adhesive. But in the end, the most effective and most painful was to use hot glue.



I cut some sticks from our tree outside, pushed them up into the styrofoam. Glued the other end of the stick to the bottom of the pot, and filled with some pebbles I had.


The tray came from a thrift store and was red before it received a couple coats of a frenchy blue.



Lots of places to party:
