    I have that same little urn on your counter, Julie! That's the one I did your instructions and made as a moss ball! Love the spiral one too, and Ballards always makes them look so nice in a grouping, don't they? I think I will leave well enough alone though!

    OOhhh–that is really cool. Styrofoam is so costly, what a good idea to just skip it and use paper instead. SMART!

    Genius to use newspaper, it looks great! I've never been into topiary but I just might have to try one now. They are cute, they remind me of Edward Scissor-hands or Disneyland. Thanks for stopping by peppertowne.com

    lol I'm SO glad I'm not the only one obsessed with topiaries right now. In fact, I just made two the other day, and used the same Ballard photo as my inspiration. 😛 I love this spiral one. I might just have to add…just one more.

    Okay, this is good really good. I was going to make some topiaries last weekend and went to buy styrofoam, really? Why is a cone shaped piece of styrofoam $9? I like your idea and will seriously try this. Good job!

    I.LOVE.IT!! My sister posted about your bunny topiary and I saw it (and copied!) making one for my home! He makes me smile every time I see him…thanks for your creative ideas and sharing it with those of us who don't "see" how to do things, but are very good at "recreating" what we see!! 🙂

    You are my topiary hero! I am addicted to making topiaries. There is something so whimsical about them. I am in awe of your spiral topiary. Wow! I am definitely going to give that a try.

    I have searched for "DIY spiral topiary" but never seemed to find anything. Thank you so much for creating and sharing this great step-by-step project. (My husband actually saw me get up out of my office chair and jump up & down when I discovered this on your blog) I'm a bit obsessed with topiaries as well:)
