So my friend and I were happily strolling through a fancy shop in the quaint, historic part of her town and we spied these amazing topiaries. At about $65 retail price, I was shocked. My friend mentioned how easy it would be to make them. And of course, I agreed. *smiles*
I'd been wanting to find something tall and "natural" for the dresser in our master bedroom. The topiaries were the perfect idea! I decided that I didn't like the clay pot look, and used some chalkboard paint I had purchased earlier.
A run to Hobby Lobby, a quick stroll around my backyard and voila!
(If you wait until each item goes on their 50% off sale, you can make these topiaries for about $6.50 each. MUCHO cheaper than $65 per green thing. Yes!)

| One coat, with a foam brush, was all I needed. |
 |
I opted for the pre-made greenery balls.
There really wasn't much of a price difference.
You could make your own for a more custom look. |
 |
| One package of moss covered the tops of all 3 pots. |
 |
Chalk markers, or pens, are simply amazing.
Favorite new find. |
 |
| I can write whatever words I'd like - seasonal, some special note, etc. |
