I have 2x topiary balls which the sun bleached the flowers. I've taken off the flowers & carefully removed the lights & ties. I have a beach theme garden & hoping they could tie in with that. what can I make them into. ?

    What is you weave greenery throughout the frames, then glue on shells, starfish, etc to give it a beachy look?

    Yes i did think of gluing the shells on the balls but was thinking because of all the bumps on the outer side where sun bleach the flowers were on , I knew they would probably be uneven, . if I cut them off with a craft knife it probably be ok ,?

    I say to set it on a small planter and train ivy (or succulents) to grow up it. Similar to the photos below.

    Are you up for painting your ball ?- I'm guessing it's metal, but I know it's fabulous! I would either use white or a deep blue.. If you lined it with coco mats or even two basket liners, fill them with dirt, then you could have small beachy, semi tropical plants growing out of them, trailing or not. Do these balls hang or have they a base/pedestal?
