I love a quick and easy planter that doesn’t take too much time during the hustle and bustle of the holidays. This topiary can be assembled in 5 minutes and adds a festive touch indoors or outdoors. For all the materials for this DIY, click my Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/carmenjohnstongardens?listId=15Z3ZYJ4OXKZB

Materials:

• ivy or cedar topiary
• copper pot or planter
• pinecone wreath, garland, or cuttings for a skirt
• floral wire
• dried orange slices
• cinnamon stick bundles
• *optional: ornaments, sliced and dried apples, or ribbon for cinnamon stick bundles

The first step is height! To anchor this planter, I’m using an ivy topiary but you could use cedar or anything that’s about 3 to 5 feet tall to anchor both sides of a front door.
