How to make artificial Topiary trees

I have found that artificial topiary trees can be quite expensive to purchase retail.  I have come up with a frugal way to enjoy these decorative beauty without breaking the bank.

You will need:
-Scissors (Knife)
-Greenery
-Stick
-Foam ball
-Pot
-Hair pins

HERE GOES.....
 A few things you will need (hair pins and scissors excluded)
 Cut the foam in two pieces....you will use the other half later
 We are now going to make this square into a sphere (it might not be perfect but thats ok)
 Cut the end corners
  Cut those end corners again
  Cut all the edges (basically try to shape it as round as possible)
 It should look something like this....
 Use your bobby pins to adhere the greenery to your ball


 Now you have a topiary ball
 Insert your stick into your topiary ball

 Add greenery to conceal the base ...

 Here is the finish product ***wasnt this fun?***

 Here are other Topiaries that i have made. I pop these beauties all over my house to add spunk and class
