Cut out felt for the base and glue them
Make the trunk of the tree. Cut about 1.5-2 cm of wire, slightly bend it
Insert the wire in the cork...
...and paint with acrylic paint
Roll a ball of polymer clay, decorate with beads and bake
After baking, glue to the trunk. Tie a ribbon on the pot
When all decorated, you can glue the topiary to the dome. All is done! Wish you much creativity!
Creating these miniature topiaries is a delightful way to bring a piece of nature into your home. As you explore different crafts, you might be inspired by innovative methods of incorporating natural materials in design.
A similar idea can be seen in the creative use of natural elements in glassmaking, where a tree trunk serves as a mold for shaping glass bottles. This concept marries nature with craftsmanship, creating truly unique pieces.
