Topiary for Baby to take Home

I m trying to make a Topiary Tree made with babies clothes and toy's for a center piece for a baby shower that’s in a couple of weeks. I saw one at a baby shower I went to a couple of weeks ago and I can't seem to find the person that made to get directions. It was beautiful. I remember it had a good size pot and was about 24" tall from base of pot to the top. Thanks for any help you can give me.


Answer:

I couldn’t find one either but here are my suggestions. Start with any sized pot you desire, you can find one that suits the colors or paint one. Put a Styrofoam ball about the same diameter in the pot. Place a dowel the length necessary for your desired height in the Styrofoam ball. Add additional balls each getting smaller in diameter to the dowel – usually two or three. Then cover the balls with baby items – cover the bottom ball with baby wash rags or a small thin receiving blanket. Then attach with pins baby clothes, pacifiers, rattles and small toys as necessary to cover the balls. You can purchase push pins at a garden or craft store that would be great for this purpose. If you can attach them in such a way that the items are usable by mom-to-be it makes a great gift. This topiary centerpiece is a great idea and should be a lot of fun.
