Moss Ball Arrangements

We created these two arrangements to fit on the two columns located at the front of the church, using, in part, this tutorial. The only thing was that it was kind of expensive to buy the foam balls. So I went to the dollar store and got two inflatable balls. One was Winnie the Pooh and the other was Dora the Explorer. I used spray adhesive and rolled them in the moss.
Finally, we put them inside two urns we found at Hobby Lobby, added a faux draping piece of greenery, a fake spider mum from Old Time Pottery, and we had an arrangement that we didn't have to pay a florist to create. Cost of arrangement: $2 for the balls, $20 for the urns (we used our online 40% off coupon) at Hobby Lobby, $4 for the spider mums, $4 for the moss, $8 for the greenery, and $2 for the florist foam at the dollar store. Total cost: $40.
