Many craftsmen recommend starting to make topiary from its trunk. If you don't want to mess around with a wire barrel, you can purchase a finished barrel. If the barrel is made of wire, it is usually decorated with a satin ribbon. The main thing is to fix it correctly with hot glue.

After preparing the barrel, it must be inserted into a foam blank ball. To prevent the ball from dangling, it should also be fixed with glue.

The next step is to deal with a pot or flowerpot under the topiary. It can be left as it is, painted with paint, or decorated with lace or ribbon. Then the container of the pot should be poured with polyurethane foam and the barrel with the ball should be inserted there. Allow to dry. It usually takes 12 to 24 hours depending on the foam.
