DIY Boxwood Topiary with Faux Concrete Pots

Home Decor· Mantle & Tabletop

Need a little something to add to your decor this spring?  A boxwood topiary is just the thing!  You can even create a faux concrete DIY pot with just a few simple steps.  I absolutely love this project and how they turned out.  I know you will love them as well!

Supplies needed to make your own DIY pot boxwood topiary:

  • Paper mache pots
  • Boxwood balls (I used some about the same diameter as the pots)
  • Moss sheet
  • Faux concrete paint
  • Faux moss paint
  • Birch logs
  • Styrofoam disc or sheet
  • Styrofoam cutter
  • Sponge brush
  • Hot glue and glue gun

Make this DIY boxwood topiary! Includes instructions for making a faux concrete planter!Start by giving your paper mache pots a faux concrete finish with the two part system.  Add the lighter color all over the pot with the sponge brush and allow to dry.  Come back with a second coat of the lighter color along with a few accents of the darker color while the paint is still wet.  Full instructions are on the package so be sure to follow them exactly.  I love this product!  I really does look like concrete!

    Thanks to your wonderful posts are getting me to try projects might not have otherwise. Have never made a topiary so this will be new for me. You made it look doable, very pretty. Maybe this is case for me to buy supplies online instead of having to look everywhere for all the parts. Will have to wait til Wed. next week, our payday. Love look of those birch branches. Don’t remember ever seeing moss or concrete paint, didn’t know there was such things.
    You have several other topiary projects would like to make for gifts.
    Enjoy your weekend

    This is my kind of gardening, I can’t kill the plant, I do not have a green thumb. Thanks for sharing with our Pretty Pintastic Party.

    The faux concrete makes a nice-looking flower pot. I love the topiaries. These are so useful for indoor decorating or for a porch during the summer. They look great!
