I’ve finally completed my fall mantel, but before the full reveal I wanted to share my Moss Pumpkin Topiary (a complement to my Simple Fall Moss Wreath).
This topiary, in its previous life, was a felt circle topiary that I made for Valentine’s Day three years ago. I had originally planned to make a felt circle pumpkin like Clean & Scentsible, but changed my mind once I remembered how long it took me the last time! Instead, I decided to use some of the moss left over from my wreath.
Using the same technique as the wreath, I arranged the moss on the foam topiary and secured with florist pins/stakes. Some teal velvet ribbon was pinned in place to mimic pumpkin grooves. The final touch? A cinnamon stick stem, placed on a floral pin.
The bucket was pink and covered with hearts from its formed Valentine décor life, so I covered it with burlap (hotglued into place so I can easily remove it and reuse it later) and added some lace ribbon trim from my stash.
So simple and pretty. I love it.
Full mantel reveal coming soon!

Oh this is so cute and just passed up some clay pots at the store too. I may still have to give it a try, because then I could still use it for Christmas with some add greenery.
