Supplies: ZAZZ Glitter Glue Set (27420) - Glitter, Polka Dot Party Paper 6x6 (366214) - Paper Pads; Glitter Paper 6x6 (35798) - Paper Pads, Autumn Crisp Wood Buttons (366531) - Elements, Autumn Crisp Resin Buttons (366530) - Elements, Adhesive Layered Resin Flowers (366203) - Polka Dot Party, Epoxy Wood Buttons (78090) - Happy Birthday, Epoxy Wood Buttons (96604) - With Love, Fabric & Epoxy Brads (96532) - Happy Birthday 

To begin, gather your desired papers and supplies. You will need at least two punches for this project as well as papers, stickpins, buttons, a base, and a styrofoam ball.

Step 1: Punch your papers. For best results use a variety of paper patterns and two different size punches. For example I used 1 round punch and 1 flower punch.

Step 2: Crumple up the punched pieces by gently folding and crinkling to distress them.

Step 3: Dress up the punched shapes by adding ZAZZ glitter glue.

Step 4: Start layering your punched pieces together.

Step 5: Begin creating your topiary by attaching your punched pieces to the styrofoam ball with stickpins.

Step 6: Continue this process until the styrofoam ball is filled.

Tip: For a fun look add punched glitter shapes, a variety of buttons, and sequins to a few pieces before pinning them on.

Step 7: When you are finished place the topiary on a base and enjoy!

We hope you love this simple piece of home decor that will liven up any space!
