Hello, Friends, and welcome to the Blog today. I’m excited to share with you a Valentine’s craft project with items purchased from the Thrift Store. I’m going to use the finished product as a centerpiece for my Valentine’s table this year. Come with me as I show you exactly how I put this together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this picture you can see the topiary form that I found at the Thrift Store. I’ve already added the ivy vines at the base of the form. I love how the ivy drapes over the edges and softens the rigid outlines. The ivy came from the Thrift Store for very little money and I use it in arrangements all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other things I used are pictured above. I needed some wire cutters for the flowers and hearts and the flowers and hearts, themselves and finally the ivy. The flowers and hearts came from the Thrift Store so I just cut them down and used them for the upper part of the topiary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the ivy in place I cut individual flower stems to about a 1 and 1\/2″ length and then began to place them in the upper part of the topiary. I cut leaves from the original flower stems and inserted them at intervals around the topiary ball. They were quite easy to push in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a variety of pinks to create the flower ball and interspersed the flowers with hearts in red and pink. I continued to add leaves to the arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I kept adding elements until the ball was filled and I ran out of flowers. LOL. I had just enough to finish the arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks so sweet on the little heart table runner that I also found at the Thrift Store. The bottom looked a little bare to me so I added one more element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added a few fabric roses and silver ribbons that I made last year. They filled in the bottom and added another touch of Valentine’s Day to the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was very happy with the finished product. What do you think? Thanks for joining me today as we created a Valentine’s Day topiary from some Thrift Store finds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
