DIY Spring Paper Flower Topiary

Floral· Home Decor· Paper Crafts· Spring

I like to add  smaller seasonal items to my home decor. I use these little projects to fill shelf space, and add pops of color to my home. One project that I always turn to is paper crafted topiaries. Today, I will show you how easy it is to create your own spring paper flower topiary. I love the bright yellow of the early spring flowers: crocuses, daffodils and forsythia, and this is a great way to bring that pop of color into your home well before the actual flowers bloom.

Supplies needed to make your own paper flower topiary:

  • 3 inch Foam Ball
  • Tin Candy Favor Bucket Set
  • Corsage Pins
  • Core’dinations Smooth Colored Cardstock (yellow)
  • Striped Paper Straws
  • 10 inch Bamboo Skewer
  • 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon in Fuchsia
  • Lime Green Shred
  • Medium Flower Shaped Craft Punch
  • Scrap of Foam

a1Begin by punching flower shapes from yellow cardstock. You will  need quite a few flowers. You could enlist the help of the kids for this part!

a2Gently bend the petals of the flowers upward. Insert the flower into the Styrofoam ball using a corsage pin.

a3Continue inserting your flowers into the Styrofoam, spacing them close together, but not so tight that you can’t tell they are flowers.

a4When you get to the end, leave a little place for a skewer to go.

a5Insert the skewer into the Styrofoam ball. Decide how tall you would like your topiary to be, and trim your skewer accordingly.

a7Insert the skewer into a decorative paper straw. Trim straw as needed.

a8Place a scrap piece of Styrofoam or floral foam into the small metal bucket. You can secure the foam with hot glue.

a6Insert your topiary into the bucket, and using hot glue, adhere shred to the top of the bucket to cover the foam.

a9Tie a bow from hot pink ribbon, and attach the bow to the paper straw using hot glue.

a10That’s it! Now just find a spot for your new spring paper flower topiary!
