Spider Topiary


I wanted to show a close up of my spider topiary.  I love it.  It is spooky and fun all at the same time.  It still kind of gives me the creeps each time I look at it.  A super easy project.  For those that care and didn't read my other post.. here are the details.

I got a 7" inch ball of styrofoam.   That size matched my pot pretty well.  I painted it black and I painted a wooden dowel black too.  When it was all dry, I stuck the dowel into the ball and into styrofoam I placed into the bottom of my pot.  I used about 200 black spider rings.  I cute each on in half at the ring, so I could just stick them into the styrofoam.  I tried to do them as close together as I could.  To finish it off, I tied a ribbon around the bottom of the ball and used webbing to cover the pot.  And I got that big, glittery spider to put on the webbing to finish it off.

Enjoy!
