It made the finish a little chunkier and messier, but it’s Halloween, so we’ll just say that now it looks extra spooky.

If you have an old farmhouse in slight disrepair like mine though, they’re free, and sometimes they’re just the right thing!.Do you ever find random weed flowers and use them inside?Today’s idea is a quick and simple one, and I like that, so I thought you might too.. I’ve been meaning to do this for a month or two, ever since I saw some different topiary shapes they were selling in the Pottery Barn catalogue..

I picked myself up a little $1.97 ivy from Walmart and 5.8 seconds later, I had this..I stuck the whole thing right into this basketty plant pot I had.The little circle at the top was made from that 19 gauge wire I found in my cupboard that I used on my.

Hanging Mason Jar Vase.I know I said it was 20 gauge before, but upon further investigation, I discovered that it’s in fact only 19 gauge.

I’m glad we cleared that up..

So you can see why this is a Future Ivy Topiary and not a Right Now Ivy Topiary.The tree’s pre-lit and even those lighting connections went together automatically when the tree was assembled..

Here it is in the middle of the room.. You can see it looked pretty great like that already, but we fluffed the branches up a little first before decorating it.One of my favorite features of the tree was the extra long cord that came with it.

We could set it up in the middle of the room and still not need an extension cord to plug it in!.And here’s the tree all decorated!
