Mother's Day gift ideas

Idea #1: Green Berry Topiary

Idea #2: Pot of Flowers

For the first project I covered a 5" styrofoam ball with Itsy-BEAD-sies, bowl and vase fillers. (I originally planned on using red berries on the stem but saw these at Hobby Lobby and loved the color and they ended up working great-they have a few variety of colors too.)  Then I used Glossy Wood stain in a spray paint can and sprayed a wooden dowel.  I poked the ball in on one end and the other end I put in the pot with desert foam.  Then I covered it with spanish moss and put a bow around it.  It was really easy and fairly cheap, just took a little time to put the foam balls on.

The second project I saw on someones site where they used real flowers.  I just bought fake ones and put 9 flowers together and bound them with a rubber band up close to the flower.  Then I covered them with floral tape.  I then stuck them in a pot with desert foam, covered them with spanish moss, and put a bow around it. 

These aren't completly my own ideas just ideas I've seen and then tweeked them to make them my own, but they were really easy so I wanted to share in case anyone wanted to make some for their mothers this weekend.  Enjoy!
