Draw the work-pieces of flowers, the work-pieces can be just formed by circles with different diameter. Use thin felt for flowers, it is usually sold in A4 sheets and can be found in any store with goods for needlework. </p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/yDIdsegxjCnMdybQfJ2RGKJgiDw=/e256d2ba711641ac8f93aa47410df550" rel="nofollow"><img data-image="35061" src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/yDIdsegxjCnMdybQfJ2RGKJgiDw=/e256d2ba711641ac8f93aa47410df550"></a></figure><p>You will need at least 30 work-pieces of flowers. We do not give there the exact number of flowers, as it will depend on your ball size. Cut circles on spiral to transform it in volumetric rose. The more turns will be in spiral, the more fluffy flowers we receive. Cut a small hole in a center of flower so that you can fasten all flowers. </p>
<p>After you cut spirals from flowers, begin to twist the spiral. Fix the spiral with a drop of glue. It is convenient to use a glue gun with silicone adhesive or any other transparent glue. Stick a large beard on top of a flower. </p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/4wNIjvJlh-yY-0osZq6DvobcN3A=/fecf35056f54416cb8715f1e9313aacc" rel="nofollow"><img data-image="35062" src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/4wNIjvJlh-yY-0osZq6DvobcN3A=/fecf35056f54416cb8715f1e9313aacc"></a></figure><p>Glue flowers over the ball: use flowers of different size and color. </p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/YgEs2cH9GPek9Na5uh6xC6w2znE=/652aa43f74a44ffea0db87ddff325930" rel="nofollow"><img data-image="35063" src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/YgEs2cH9GPek9Na5uh6xC6w2znE=/652aa43f74a44ffea0db87ddff325930"></a></figure><p>After you fix flower all over the ball, you will receive a beautiful composition. </p><figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/jm-pNwmRV7davRKFLDDZYGrMVBo=/11c2d11fb286470b826b8f5ab5015ca3" rel="nofollow"><img data-image="35064" src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/jm-pNwmRV7davRKFLDDZYGrMVBo=/11c2d11fb286470b826b8f5ab5015ca3"></a></figure><p>Decoration of topiary is up to your own fantasy: use flowers and leaves of different shapes and colors.
