More Topiaries

Look at what I made……more topiaries and I used acorns to make these!

They were so easy to make;  candle holders, floral clay, wire garland, acorns, and berries.

I used  floral clay to hold the acorns upright and added the wire garland and berries.

I just love the colors!

I think they look really nice sitting on the top shelf in the kitchen.  The backdrop for this vignette is the old cabinet door that I got at the Luckett’s Antique Fair. The wicker acorn I purchased at The Christmas Shoppe.  I added a burlap bow to it.

I love the old time feel it provides to our home.  I hope you like the topiaries and perhaps it has provided some inspiration for you.

  12. I love these !! Big acorns seem to be a huge hit this year, and you've taken them one step further. What fun! (And, thanks for your note about my Fall tree ... and, just *why* couldn't you get away with doing one, too)?? Thanks again, *Becca*

    Oooh...I love, love, LOVE your acorn topiaries! What a fabulous idea...to take the acorns and add them to the top of those beautiful candleholders! I have similar acorns...about the same size as well! I could make these! Thank you so much for sharing your great idea and all the "how to's"!

    I just love the vignette that you used your acorn topiaries in! Love that old chippy cabinet door! I haven't seen the wicker acorns before...wherever did you find it? The pretty burlap tie just makes it! Gorgeous autumn vignette! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
