If you are suddenly tired of the Christmas tree as a traditional New Year's symbol, or you want to decorate your desk in the office, but the cleaning service will not approve of crumbling needles, then take some time to create a topiary. Topiary is a European tree. In summer, it should resemble a green ball, and in winter it can be made from green balls, and even with your own hands. We have prepared several master classes for you. All of them are very simple, so the topiary made of balls will not seem like something impossible to you. Anyone can definitely cope with this New Year's mission.
Let's start a master class
As you understood - Christmas balls are needed for topiary from Christmas balls :) It is desirable that they be combined with each other, the size and diameter may be different.
The basis of the New Year's topiary can be made from a foam ball. You can also take unnecessary waste paper, crush it, and then fill a bag with it. The package must be fixed with a stapler or elastic band. Christmas balls can be glued onto this base. Do not forget to tint the base so that the New Year's topiary turns out to be harmonious.
If you take balls of different sizes and diameters, then they should be aligned in height. To do this, some of them can be cut. Remember to remove the mount. The crown of our topiary will look more proportional.
The base in the pot can be different: gypsum, gypsum with cement, foam (in this case, you need to put something heavy on the bottom of the pot so that there is a counterweight). Then the topiary will not succumb to the force of attraction, and will remain standing in its place.
The soil of the New Year's topiary can and should be decorated. For this, paint, moss, cones, balls, sequins, tinsel, etc. are suitable. It is better to choose acrylic paint. If you are going to glue the moss, then the base for it must also be painted over. Don't forget the topiary trunk. It can be decorated with ribbons and beads.
So we got a wonderful decor. After all the holidays, you can hide it, and get it again the next year. The design is durable if you glue everything on the glue-moment and make a solid base. Next year, you can add artificial snow, cotton wool, new ribbons, sparkles, change some details. A topiary made of Christmas balls will definitely become a part of your holiday.
