Topiary Love: Easy Letter Topiaries
I love a good topiary in pretty much any shape or size. I’ve made all kinds of them & shared them with you since I started this blog, and my latest ones are part of my Valentine decor (coming soon).
These little letter topiaries have endless possibilities & they’re super-easy to make.
I started with these chipboard letters from Hobby Lobby, found near the scrapbook supplies. You could also cut a letter from sturdy cardboard or use a wooden one.
Next, I painted them green with a little craft paint.
Once they were dry, I heated up the glue gun & covered each letter with this dried floral moss…
Next, I used a stick from my yard, cut into equal lengths, to make the little trunks. Another blob on hot glue holds the letter to the top of the stick.
Then, I secured them into my little containers with styrofoam & covered it with a little more moss.
I’m telling you–super easy! Everybody needs a mossy-intial topiary, right? I’m going to get my “R” as soon as I can get back to Hobby Lobby.
Wouldn’t this make a cute housewarming gift? Make one for yourself & a friend, too. I’ll meet you in the moss aisle!

Meanwhile, I’m sharing this little project with a few of these crafty sites! Check them out!
