Materials Needed:

1-2 yards HGTV HOME or other desired fabric
medium Styrofoam sphere
straight pins
wooden dowel

Spanish moss
terra cotta pot
floral foam piece

Paint Foam Sphere, Pot and Wooden Dowel

Paint the wooden dowel and terra cotta pot if desired. Paint the Styrofoam sphere a dark color so it better blends with your chosen fabric. Let dry.

Cut and Fold Fabric Squares

Cut fabric into 2-inch square pieces (image 1). Depending on your fabric, you may need to apply no-fray spray before cutting. Fold each square piece in half (image 2), and in half again to create a flower petal effect (image 3).
