Sweet Apple Topiary

Instructions

1. Select your container, then glue the cube of foam into the container—Bevel the edge of the cube using the serrated knife.
2. Cut dowel to appropriate length and secure it into the cone and base of foam using low temp glue.
3. First, create your base flower arrangement using focal, line, and filler flowers—Reserve several stems of all flower types for inclusion in the spiral cone top.
4. Pin a piece of yarn to the cone top and wind it around the cone to create a spiral pattern. Adjust the spiral to your liking before gluing the first row of flowers, pods, or leaves.
5. Starting with a focal material (like mini-green apples), glue-like materials next to each other from bottom to top, as shown. Create one row at a time, making sure each has a texture distinct from the row on either side.
