Paper Flower Topiary

Paper Flower Topiary!Buy Your Candlesticks @ Mindy Mae's Market
By Morena's Corner

First I painted a 3 inch candlestick with crackle paint to give it an aged look.


Then I cut out my flowers using a shape from silhouette.  Making the flowers was the most time consuming part of the process!  You could also use premade flowers to speed things up.


I misted the paper lightly with water so I could use the toothpick to curl the petals.


This was just the beginning!  I made approximately 60 flowers.


When I was done I glued the styrofoam ball onto the candlestick,

then I began to glue the flowers onto the ball.


I think these would make darling centerpieces, too! Or, an everyday shelf item!
