Step-by-step master class with a photo - artificial flower topiary
Making flowers
Stage 1. Cutting flowers. We cut out strips from cardboard trays so that whole recesses for eggs remain - it is from them that flowers are formed. We cut the strip into separate cells, cut off everything superfluous from above (do not throw away the waste: we use them to make a ball for the purple topiary).
From cardboard blanks we cut out crosswise symmetrical rounded flowers into 4 petals (in the form of a camomile):
For each button you will need 5 flowers: calculate and prepare immediately required amount taking into account the crown diameter of the flower topiary.
Stage 2. Painting flowers. Having prepared a pre-painting area (taking into account a large number blanks), proceed to painting the inside of the buds white.
Mixing white and purple paint to get 2-3 shades lilac color, paint the rest of the flowers for the topiary.
The bud is formed from 3 white and 2 lilac flowers. Calculate the required number of cardboard blanks of each color before painting.
Stage 3. Formation of finished buds. We glue 3 white flowers together, add 2 lilac flowers inside and a bead in the very heart of the bud.
We make leaves - we cut out the standard shape of a fish of different sizes from felt. For each bud you will need 3 leaves, which we decorate about half of the flowers.
The remaining buds are decorated with organza or tulle.
Bud formation 
Felt leaves 
Organza edging
To make a topiary of flowers with a crown diameter of 12 cm, you will need 32 collected buds. The amount varies according to the size of the ball, we recommend doing it with a margin so as not to return to this step later.
An identical technique for making flowers was also used for. Except for the backing: artificial green leaves were used instead of felt, organza and tulle.
Making a ball and decorating a crown
Stage 4. Ball. Did you save the scraps from the egg trays? Excellent, it is from them that we will compress the ball for the flower topiary, and with adhesive tape we will give it the correct round shape and fasten firmly. The finishing winding of gauze or fabric will provide better adhesion of the surface of the ball with glue.
With scissors, we cut a deep hole in the ball, slightly smaller in diameter than the barrel.
Stage 5. Crown formation. We glue the surface of the ball tightly to each other with buds, we try not to leave gaps. Evenly, especially where there are visible gaps between the buds, we glue pre-prepared felt leaves and satin ribbons bent in half to the ball.
Preparing a pot for topiary
Stage 6. External design of the flowerpot. Approximately in the center of the cache-pot we glue lace and immediately on top - a lilac satin ribbon. In a chaotic manner, we distribute all the glue half-beads over the surface - 20 pcs. On one of the planes of the cache-pot we glue a bow from a satin ribbon and a foamiran rose.
That rare case when, when making a tree of happiness not recommended to use a hot glue gun: silicone dries very quickly and does not smudge. That's why use any polymer adhesive and a disposable cotton swab.
For the lilac topiary of flowers and sisal "Charm" it was not by chance that a white square pot was chosen: it blends perfectly with the crown - both in shape and in color.
When choosing a pot, consider the key rule: the total diameter of the crown should be at least 2 times larger than the diameter of the planter.
Stage 7. Mounting the barrel. We tightly lay crushed stone at the bottom of the flowerpot, coat the lower end of the trunk with glue and fasten it to the stone; continue filling the pots - up to about half. Each layer of crushed stone is abundantly glued so that the flower tree stands motionless.
Stage 8. Making the base of the tree of happiness. We cover the crushed stone or filling with white sisal so as to completely hide the filling. Instead of sisal, you can take a synthetic winterizer, tow or similar material.
Sisal 
Sintepon
At the base of the tree of happiness, we create a composition of various decorative elements. On the proposed topiary of flowers and sisal, 2 foamiran roses, a shell, beads, and pebbles are glued. Use the materials that are available and compatible with each other.
Tree assembly
We generously coat the free end of the trunk with silicone from a thermal gun to the full depth, strengthen the crown, hold the ball in the correct position for 2-3 minutes for secure fixation.
The final touch in making a lilac flower topiary with your own hands: approximately in the middle of the trunk, glue 2 large and 2 small felt leaves, complement the composition with a white bead.

- Sintepon.
- Brown threads.
- Gel pen refill.
- A small pot for the base.
- Orange beads for decoration.
- Corrugated green paper.

- Wooden sticks with pointed tips.
Of the tools you will need a glue gun, scissors, a clerical knife. Manufacturing steps:
Step 1. Trunk. Take one stick, tie two knots of thread to it (on both sides). In the neighborhood we tie another stick. We continue to knit them further to the end, leaving long tails of threads. We will get some semblance of a wooden rug. In the middle, we put a narrow strip of glue on it and wind the sticks into a tube. We wrap the entire structure with thread tails and fasten it with a knot. For reliability, they can be glued.
Step 2 With the sharp edges of the sticks, the resulting trunk is carefully inserted into the hole on the ball, put on glue. You can first pour grits inside the ball to make the tree “talking”.
Step 3 Glue the workpiece to the bottom of the pot.
Step 4 Painting the tree trunk Brown color. It is better to paint the ball itself green in order to create additional volume for the leaves.
Step 5 Leaves. Cut paper into small squares. We take one square and apply it in the center of the rod from the handle. We crumple the paper or roll it with our fingers in a circle. We put a drop of glue on the center of the paper square and glue it to the ball with the help of a pen rod.
From the tools we need a glue gun, scissors and double-sided tape. Stages of work:
Step 1. Pot. We decorate the pot with a red cloth, which we fasten with adhesive tape. Inside we lay a floral oasis or polystyrene.
Step 2 Trunk. In the center of the pot we fix the trunk of the future tree. In the absence of a branch, you can install a cardboard tube pre-wrapped in yellow satin ribbon. We decorate the junction of the trunk with sisal or tinsel.
Step 3 The upper part of the trunk is seated on a foam ball or a floral oasis (we first give it the shape of a circle). We tie the attachment point with a satin ribbon.
Step 4 To Christmas balls glue the toothpicks and install them in the base ball.
Step 5 Decor. In the free places between the balls with the help of toothpicks we insert cones, small Christmas decorations, toys, beads, tinsel. For reliability, we glue them together.

And the most famous example topiary garden are the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in Babylon - one of the seven wonders of the world.

What is topiary made of?
So, if you decide to make a topiary with your own hands, then you should know that the tree consists of several elements:
- the foundation
- trunk
- crown
- pot or stand
Moreover, for each of these elements there are different forms and materials.
Topiary base
The base can be different shapes. Most often, a ball is used in the manufacture of topiary.
Topiary in the form of a ball
But there are topiaries in the form of a heart, as well as in the form of various figures. Experienced needlewomen create blanks in the form of numbers (if the tree is intended as a gift for a birthday or memorable date), as well as in the form of letters.
Topiary - heart
As a basis for a ball or heart, you can use a foam blank, polyurethane foam or a papier-mâché ball. Curly bases are thick wire, foam or cardboard.
Topiary base - foam ball
Topiary trunk
The barrel can be a thick wire wrapped in twine, floral tape or plastered with plastic.
You can also use an ordinary wooden branch (for reliability, it is better to clean it from the bark and cover it with stain and varnish).
A short, straight trunk is obtained from several sushi sticks or wooden skewers connected together.
Topiary crown
Topiary crown is a huge scope for imagination. You can use absolutely everything: paper ( paper napkins, cut flowers, corrugated paper, quilling paper or folded origami - kusudama), cold porcelain or polymer clay flowers, satin and nylon ribbons, felt or cotton, buttons and beads, coffee, shells, dried leaves and other natural materials, and also much, much more.

Preparation of the necessary materials
Before you start working on a topiary, carefully consider the idea and all the materials used. The idea will depend on the purpose of the tree and the hobbies of its future owner. Gather materials. Attach the elements of the crown to the workpiece. Determine which decorative elements you will take.
Beads of different sizes and decorative dragonflies were used as decor for the topiary.
Beads, braid, sisal and a decorative watering can were used as decor for the topiary.
Making a trunk
The next step is to prepare the trunk. As already mentioned, depending on the material, it must be wrapped with twine or varnished.
We attach the base of the tree to one end of the trunk. The ball can be simply inserted, and it is better to fix some curly base with glue.
The other end of the barrel is inserted into the prepared vessel. Usually it is attached with foam, which is then poured with alabaster or cement.
The trunk of the topiary is glued to the foam
At first, it will be difficult to guess the consistency: if the solution is too liquid, then it will dry for a very long time. And if you make it thick, then it will not fill all the empty space between the pot and the foam.
Experienced needlewomen are advised to achieve the consistency of store-bought sour cream: not very liquid, but slipping off a spoon and easily changing shape.
Pour the solution into the prepared form, smooth the top and leave to dry completely.
We decorate the crown
While the base dries, you can make crown elements: leaves, flowers.
Let me remind you once again that they must be fixed after the base has completely dried.
Depending on the base material, the flowers can be attached with hot glue or stuck in with small skewers or wire.
Topiary is especially popular today. fashion trend decorate festive halls or home interiors is gaining momentum. An actual element of inspiration for such modern art is floristry. Yes, yes, you heard right. Moreover, it is possible to create a unique composition with your own hands and according to your individual taste. Topiary means "tree of happiness". And the happiness made by one's own hands, doubly brings home comfort and pleases others.
The process means:
- To begin with, you should cut the prepared flowers from the stem so that the tails are no more than one cm long.
- In the ball, make a shallow recess up to 2 cm.
- Start decorating the ball. With an awl, you should carefully pierce the holes and quickly coat the tails of the flowers with glue to insert them into the finished holes. In your head, you need to imagine the finished composition and, accordingly, distribute the flowers according to the color scheme. It is not necessary to have flowers very close to each other. It will be enough to completely cover the sphere without translucent base.
- The stem should be glued to the decorated ball and left to dry.
- Prepare gypsum, mix it with water to a dense density. Pour into a pot. Wait a bit and insert the barrel into the middle.
- Hold the tree until the plaster hardens well.

But what is a topiary for the New Year? You guessed it - on New Year's Eve it is customary to make wishes. And if you decide to make a New Year's tree of happiness with your own hands, then you will have every opportunity to securely fix your desire with resistant glue.
Before you start manufacturing, you need to decide on its shape. New Year's topiary can have a traditionally round shape, but you can also give it a curly shape, such as a Christmas tree shape.
We will consider the option of a topiary made of Christmas balls. You will need to prepare:
- Christmas balls in silver or gold (you can combine the colors of the balls)

- Styrofoam for ball
- New Year's design elements - cones, decorative berries and fruits

- At this stage, fix the foam plastic to the top of the trunk of the tree of happiness, having previously made it the shape of a ball. So the moment has come when we will form the crown of the tree with our own hands. In our case, this is Christmas toys-balls. Place each individual ball on toothpicks and glue them at the base. Now firmly insert the toothpicks with balls into the crown ball.
- If you use large balls, then the gaps between them can be filled with small balls and decorated with beads and tinsel.
- In order for your design to hold well, we recommend that you glue the balls together at the end of the work.
Feel free to turn on your imagination, add or change elements at your discretion. The main rule is that they are combined with each other in color!
