bottom to other side of globe band to form ball.
6. Prep Pole - Cut dowel to 16.5” for small topiary, or to
19.5” for large topiary. Wrap dowel with ribbon, securing
ribbon at top and bottom with E6000 glue or glue gun.
7. Assemble Topiary - Cut floral foam to fit into flower pot,
with top of foam 1” below rim of flower pot. Insert covered
dowel into hole in paper globe. Poke bottom of dowel into
center of foam. Arrange moss to cover foam. Tie ribbon
