Fall Wheat Grass Decoration

I have a wonderful friend who loves Wheat Grass Decorations. After having been unexpectedly gone from home for almost two weeks, she picked up a lot of slack for me while I was away.

I wanted to make her a little something for helping me out so I made this Decoration, I loved how it turned out!

First, I went out to a field (not private land) and cut gathered some good looking grasses to work with. 

 I purchased some floral foam from Dollar Tree. Holla! 

 With the grass and the foam on hand, I started taking small bunches of the grass and cutting them so they were all about the same length. 

After getting a bunch of the grass stems cut to length, I started pushing them into the green foam. 

 I kept doing this until the whole top of the foam was filled with the grass! After the top was filled in, I took Jute Cord and tied it at the top and started winding it down the bottom to cover the foam. Once I got to the bottom, I used my glue gun and glued the Jute together. For the base, I glued the Jute with a glue gun in a spiral-- The glue won't stick to the foam very well, so you have to make sure to glue the Jute together. 

This is what the decoration looked like after I wrapped it with Jute Cord once around. I decided to wrap it again to help cover the green foam. 

Here is the final product! I love this for fall!!
