Today is such a drab wet horrible day so i thought it was an ideal time to make something i thought it over through the night i was having trouble sleeping so my mind went to minis and what i could make with the things i got yesterday i decided to try the topiary trees i know theres tons of tutorials all over the internet and more than just a few for topiary trees but to be honest i couldnt be bothered to sift through this morning so i made them my own way. I didnt have any caps the size i needed for pots so i made my own using my wonderful multi purpose square punch really theres so much i will use this for im glad i bought it i just use some white card punched out 15 pieces for each pot and layered three pieces of card for each side and glued them together then assembled the cubes which im using for pots, i then painted them with some metalic childs paint in copper inside and out filled them with unbaked scraps of fimo and then applied glue to the top of the fimo and poured dried tea leaves on for earth. I then went on to make my trees i used a pick up stick and painted it brown/green trunk colour and glued it into the hole in my polystyrene ball then painted the ball green
when dry i cut the stick the length i needed applied glue to the poly ball and tipped green flowersoft over it when dried i glued the trees in to my pots
Very resouceful! They look so nice at the door.
