I've been meaning to do this for a month or two, ever since I saw some different topiary shapes they were selling in the Pottery Barn catalogue.
I picked myself up a little $1.97 ivy from Walmart and 5.8 seconds later, I had this.

I stuck the whole thing right into this basketty plant pot I had. The little circle at the top was made from that 19 gauge wire I found in my cupboard that I used on my Hanging Mason Jar Vase the other day. I know I said it was 20 gauge before, but upon further investigation, I discovered that it's in fact only 19 gauge. Good. I'm glad we cleared that up.

So you can see why this is a Future Ivy Topiary and not a Right Now Ivy Topiary. It's really more of a plant with a halo. I could have bought a full grown ivy and just wrapped it around, but I think it will be a little more fun to work on it over time.

Plus, these are supposed to be really easy to grow, so there's a pretty good chance I won't kill it! I think I may even try a few more shapes. Give it a try! Pin It

The best things are the ones you wait for! Can't wait to see the finished topiary! xx
What a great idea! I think I'm going to be a copy cat:) Stopped over from WUW
I like your Future Ivy Topiary and think it is a great idea to start one.
Awesome! I pinned it. :)
fabulous idea.. I think we all have some empty baskets we could use and make something pretty. Using your idea, I can make mine pretty too.
This is my first visit but I'll be back. Found you by following the link Brenda posted..
Nice to meet you and see your lovely home.

Cute! I like topiaries and baskets .. so simple and lovely. Go Green! :D :D
I did the same thing. They are easy and fun to make and the ivy fills out in a very short time. There is the added bonus of creating any shape you want. I'm with you, we can do lots of things on our own.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Good idea, I do see the little vine starting.
Such a neat idea. I considered growing some ivy (outside) this year...but, I'm wanting to keep it contained as I know that it can sometimes get out of hand. I do like your idea! Thanks for sharing with us on Toot Your Horn Tuesday! Looking forward to what you have to share with us next!

You'll have to remember to show us another picture of how it looks in a couple of months. It is going to be really cute.
It's fun to watch plants grow! Can't wait to see how it looks later! Thanks so much for sharing at Mom On Timeout!

It'll be fun to see if it grows according to your form! Good luck with it!
