Black and white topiary tree

This is a little project I made recently. I had the idea to make a topiary tree to put in my bedroom which is black and white.

First I bought a terracotta flower pot with fake soil and grass from Hobbycrafts

Then I painted it with acrylic paint first then Distress Crackle paint




The paint will crackle as it dries. You can spray clear varnish over it at this point.




I painted a polystyrene ball with Acrylic paint and a bamboo skewer with black Promarker.



I punched out flowers from black and white papers, and black leaves with a MS punch. I attached these to the polystyrene with wires that had pearls on the end (floristry section of Hobbycrafts) . Finally I added twists of fine wire to it.
And there you have it. A very quick and easy table decoration
