Lovely Valentine Topiaries DIY

This is a fun DIY project.  Valentine topiaries are gorgeous and unexpected.  Scrapbook paper is the main item in this project so there is a wide range of ideas.  Use hearts but in unusual colors or patterns to make the topiaries even more unique.  Thanks to House by Hoff for the great idea.

I’m back today with some Valentine eye candy for you!

I’m so in love with these pretty topiaries!

Making them was easy, but, I will admit, more time consuming than I expected. My supplies included:  straight pins, a gold paint marker, gold glitter, hydrangea punch, scrapbook paper, two Styrofoam balls, and two gold candlesticks (from Goodwill).

1.  I started by painting the ball end of the straight pins gold with my paint marker. I sprinkled gold glitter on them before they dried.  The glitter is optional, but gives the completed project a bit more *bling*.  (This is the most time consuming step.)
