Check out the instructions below or watch our You Tube tutorial.

Supplies:

• Moss Ball
• Terra Cotta Pot
• Strand of Starry Lights
• Florist Wire & Wire Cutters

Step 1:

Start by opening your lights and unwinding them from the spool. Thread the line of lights through the hole in the center of your terra cotta pot.

Step 2:

Insert the end of your lights into the moss ball and start wrapping them around the ball vertically. Once you have used half of your lights, wrap the remainder of the lights horizonally. If your wire starts to slide on you because of the shape of a ball, cut a couple pieces of floral wire two inches long, fold them in half, and use them as a floral pin to secure the wire to the ball. You can do this as much or as little as you need to.

Step 3:

Once you reach the end of your strand of lights, place the ball on top of the terra cotta pot. Plug the electrical cord into the outlet and enjoy the beautiful glow of your lighted topiary.

Try making this project in multiple and lining them up along a mantle, down the center of a table, or along a windowsill. You can even make this pot your own by decorating the terra cotta pot before adding the lights and moss ball.
