DIY Creepy Topiary

When it come to the holidays whether it be Halloween or Valentine's day I always want to dress up my home decor.  I like crafting so I will usually make something to spice up the decor.  Last Halloween I made a Black Ribbon RIP Topiary that glittered next to the rest of my Halloween decor.  You can find full directions by clicking the above link.

The project took 4 spools or ribbon to complete and I burnt my fingers once or twice on the glue gun.  I glued the ribbon onto the foam ball instead of using pins. I recommend using pins because it is much faster and easier.  I didn't have any on hand at the time and I'm always to excited to start a project and begin before I have all my ducks in a row, so to speak.  

Other items I used to complete this project include: a box, black card stalk, a mini head stone, 2 foam balls, black jewels and sparkly black ribbon.  I added a black raven to the top of the finished topiary but that part is entirely optional.
