How to Make a Flower Topiary Decoration

Cut the wooden dowel into three pieces. Two pieces should be 15 inches long and the other piece should be 6 inches if you want to make a three-tiered topiary. Spray paint the Styrofoam balls, the planter and the wooden dowels to complement the colors of the flowers you have chosen. You may also want the color of the planter to coordinate with your table setting or the color of the room's walls. Allow to dry completely.

Position a floral block of foam firmly into the planter. Push the 6-inch dowel about halfway down in the center of a foam ball. Push the dowel's other end into the center of the floral foam block. Add green moss on top of the floral block in the planter.

Push a 15-inch wooden dowel into the middle of the Styrofoam ball already on the planter. Press another Styrofoam ball on top of that wooden dowel about 4 inches into the ball. Push the other 15-inch wooden dowel into the middle of the second Styrofoam ball and then press the third ball on the top of the dowel. You should now have three balls attached to your dowel stand.

Cut the stems of whatever flowers you are using about 2 inches below the blossoms. For fresh or dried flowers, attach a 5-inch piece of floral wire to the stem with floral tape as they are not as firm as silk flower stems. Afix dried flowers to the Styrofoam ball with a glue gun using low heat.

Push the stems of your flowers into the Styrofoam balls. Continue adding flowers until the Styrofoam balls are as full as you desire. The bottom flowers on the lowest Styrofoam ball may rest on the floral foam block in the planter. Decorate the planter further by gluing a ribbon of a complementary color all around it with your glue gun and then make a bow at the front of the planter.
