Too Cute Topiary

How cute is this?!? I made this topiary with the girls last weekend. I keep it on my sofa table and love it more every time I look at it. I'm not sure where Sherie got the idea, but I'm glad she shared it with me.

We purchased the premade topiary, flower pot, sequin pins and "retro flower" Whale of a Punch at Joann's. After punching flowers from three coordinating, double-sided papers, I simply folded the petals up and secured them to the styrofoam with the pins in a random pattern. It took more paper and time to make than I thought it would, but it was super simple. I bought supplies yesterday to make Easter eggs using the same technique. I hope they'll be as darling as the topiary, but I'll let you know how they turn out.
