Step 2: Attach to Styrofoam

Next, attach the flowers to the styrofoam that will act as the top of the topiary＊

◆ If using paper napkin flowers... Use a glue gun to stick each flower one by one.

◆ If using artificial flowers... Insert artificial flowers with branches directly into the styrofoam.

Adjust the spacing between the flowers flexibly, neither too tight nor too loose◎

Step 3: Insert into the Base

Finally, the last step＊ Insert paper straws or sticks into the bottom of the styrofoam to secure it to the base♩

Carving the styrofoam to fit the shape of the flower pot or paper cup and covering the top with moss or similar materials will make it look chic＊

It's Complete♡

Once the topiary is secured to the base, the DIY is finished＊

Decorating with photo prop accessories like glasses, ribbons, and mustache marks will make it even cuter♩
