I had some leftover ribbon from the last ribbon project (see post below) so I decided to make some matching topiaries for my Mom's Christmas decorations! I wanted to use little terracotta pots but the pots at Walmart were outside in the pouring rain! So, the containers are little glass candle holders that were only 97 cents; I covered some floral foam in moss and shoved it in the holder. The topiary consists of the cone shaped florist foam and loops of ribbon and fabric attached with straight pins. I used, yet again, Heidi's wonderful ideas!









Oh, I love this! Your mom is just going to be tickled to receive these and the garlands, I'm sure. I like the glass containers you used for the bases. SO cute!!

Those are great. The glass candle holders are perfect.

Love this!!! (btw - saw the first fully decorated christmas tree in someone's window while out last night walking the dog...I still think it is a wee bit early for the whole shubang...)
