Mossy Cross Topiary

Happy Easter!  Do you recognize this cross from Christmas?  I added a thin coat of chocolate brown paint and hot glued moss to make a mossy cross.

I had a thin strip of lattice leftover from Hannah’s bed (I used it in the canopy)  I primed it and painted it a flat white, then added a little bit of Benjamin Moore raw umber glaze to distress it.

I hot glued the lattice straight to a piece of burlap and hung it on the wall.

I rarely buy anything new, but fell in love with this sweet white terrarium.  (Hobby Lobby still has some in the garden section if you are looking…)

I filled it with fake grass. 

The Angel wings from Christmas.

The garden bird was $1 at Wal Mart (also from Christmas….noticing a trend? :)).

The little nest was a tiny grapevine wreath that I unraveled and stuck some shredded burlap thread in.  I added a few painted eggs and some sticks.

After watching every member of the blog world decorate with the Pier One bunny topiaries last year, I decided to hop on the bandwagon.

I added it to a cute galvanized watering pail found at a thrift store for $1.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
