Outdoor Topiary out of a tomato cage
It's SHOW & TELL FRIDAY!!!
Click on the show and tell button on the bottom of the page to see more great show and tells!
Here is a fall topiary I made. I used a tomato plant cage and turned it upside down. Then I took floral wire and tied the "legs" that were sticking up. These are the legs that normally you push into the ground. I then soaked 3 grapevine wreaths in water to soften them a bit. Once pliable, simple start at the ground and wrap grapevine all the way around the cage securing every once in a while with floral wire. Keep wrapping cage until you get to the top.

I have seen this done with Christmasy garland and lights, but never with grapevines! How welcoming:)
I have heard about these before,but never tried it. Good job!
I think that the topiary is the most beautiful I've ever seen. Your blog is beautiful. You must be very creative. I love anything country.
Thank you for commenting on my pinch bottle. It was used for Haig's Scotch at one time I think. I have been told it was their 50Th anniversary bottle.
I LOVE this idea! How beautiful!!

Hello...
Ohh my...what a GRAND idea!!! I just love your grapewreath topiary! I would have never thought to do this...it's a great idea! I'd love to try one! It's a beautiful way to welcome your guests to your home...it's so pretty sitting in that big urn on your porch!

FAB - U - LOOOOOUUUUUS!!!!!
That is really creative! Love it!
What a great idea! That looks so pretty. You could do it with spring flowers instead of the fall leaves as well.
This is a creative way of making a topiary. I'll put this one in my list of ideas.
You left questions on a couple of my posts. I would email you, but alas no address.
The vessel and faucet are both from Rona, a big home improvement store here in Canada.
The baskets I have in my kitchen are from Canadian tire. I have seen these same baskets at Walmart.
My Kitchen stove hood was one of my inventions, which I was successfully able to relay to the renovator.
thanks for dropping by
Have a great day!
That is awesome and very creative.. do you change it out for the different seasons. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

Don't you just LOVE tomato cages? Cheap structure for all kinds of great display & decorating ideas. I love your topiary!
That is so creative.
Your topiary looks amazing! I love finding new creative ideas like that. I can never come up with them on my own, but I'm good at copying :)
Blessings,

What a fantastic idea - you can dress it up with flowers in spring and summer, and lights for Christmas. Beautiful !
