Re: Huge thanks to lehcar... baby shower project/gift
Just wanted to add that here's the instructions incase anyone wants to make one!
For the topiary, I used socks, bibs, onesies, burp cloths and mittens. You need the following things to start: a 4 inch styrofoam ball, lollipop sticks, hot glue gun, 1 inch dowel, flower pot and styrofoam block to go in the pot. Oh, and rubber bands.
First, you put some hot glue on the end of a popsicle stick, then stick it in the styrofoam ball. You repeat this until the entire ball is covered in sticks, except for a spot on the "bottom" where you'll stick the dowel in. Hot glue the dowel, then stick in the ball, stick the other end of the ball in the styrofoam that you've put in the flower pot. This will give you the skeleton of the topiary.
If you're using a onesie, you'll unfold it from the package, roll it up from crotch to neck, fold it in half and put a rubber band around it towards the fold end. Then you'll stick it on the topiary and wrap the rubber band around a lollipop stick (so make sure you don't put the sticks too close together). Keep doing that until it's full. Voila!
