straight pins
wooden dowel

Spanish moss

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).

Attach Fabric to Sphere

Stick the pin through the bottom point of the fabric petal in each folded fabric square, and pin to sphere. Pin the squares on the sphere, slightly overlapping each piece until the entire sphere is covered (images 1 and 2). Fluff fabric to get your desired look.
