DIY “Be Mine” Topiary

I’m so excited to share this project with you today! I’ve admired cupcake liner projects all over blog land, so I decided to create my own for Valentine’s Day! You might have seen the “Be Mine” topiary in my Valentine’s Day Vignette that I already posted.

Anyone can make this topiary. It was so fun and quite inexpensive to make!

DIY “Be Mine” Topiary

Supplies Needed:

• Container or pail
• Stick or dowel
• 2 Styrofoam balls
• Batting or newspaper to stuff around the base to secure it
• Cupcake liners
• Glue gun & glue sticks
• Vinyl decal {I made mine with my Silhouette}
• Burlap to finish off the base

Begin by folding and hot gluing individual cupcake liners to one styrofoam ball until the entire ball is covered. I used 75-80 liners.

For the base, I hot glued the other styrofoam ball into my 0.25 thrift store pail. Then I stuffed batting around it to further stabilize the ball.

Being my fancy shamancy self {not!} I used a stick from my yard and pushed and glued it into the base.  You can’t beat free!

Then I attached the cupcake liner covered ball to the other end of the stick and secured it with glue.

I added the “Be Mine” vinyl embellishment that I created using my amazing Silhouette machine!

{a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e!}

Now we’re all ready for a fun, lovin’ Valentine’s Day!

Have you ever made anything {besides cupcakes} with cupcake liners?
