How to make a Holiday Topiary with beaded fruit ornaments

Make this wonderful holiday display with a topiary form and beaded fruit ornaments.

Materials:

1 single ball topiary form
beaded or foam holiday fruit ornaments ( amount of ornaments needed depends on the size of the ornaments and the topiary form).
moss (for the base)
sheer wire edged ribbon
1 natural vine garland

Additional Supplies:

Instructions
1. Place the topiary form and fit it firmly in an urn. Use the moss to fill in around the edges and to cover the top.
2. Twist the natural vine garland around the topiary stick. Use greening pins to attach to bottom of the ball and at the base of the stick.
3. Hot Glue the beaded fruit ornaments onto the topiary ball. I used sturdy toothpicks stuck into the center of the bottom side of each ornament to help me attach to the floral foam.
4. After totally covering the foam frame, insert “fillers” in the gaps between the ornaments. The best filler I found was little red berries. You could also use silk leaves and moss.
5. Add a sheer wired ribbon bow below the ball of the topiary - attach with floral wire.
Be sure to place your finished topiary in a protected place -if you intend to have it out of doors.
