Terrific
    Topiary

Simple ivy takes on an air of refinement when shaped into a topiary and planted in an inexpensive distressed urn. To make, place a small potted trailing ivy in an urn (or use faux ivy for low maintenance decor). Hot glue dried Spanish moss over a twig topiary form from the craft store and insert it into the center of the urn. Twirl the ivy around the topiary base and weave it between the twigs of the ball top. As the ivy grows, continue weaving it around the topiary, until the moss is completely covered. One large or medium-size topiary makes an elegant centerpiece for a buffet table or mantel, or line several smaller urns down the center of the dining table to make a low, conversation-friendly centerscape.
