Adding the foam
Take a round piece of styrofoam and place it inside the pot. Next, cut another piece in half and place a half on top of the first one flat side down. You may or may not need 2 pieces of styrofoam. Cut a floral wire of the same height as your pot, then insert through the center of both styrofoam pieces. If you are using a floral foam, just cut it in the same shape as your pot.
Shaping the wire
Measure the height of your pot. Cut your floral wires in different lengths considering that measurement. Take one floral wire and bend one end into a loop. Repeat with the remaining pieces.
Adding beads
Fill each wire with beads, leaving a few inches of space on top. Customize them however you like.
Locking the beads
This step is optional, but it secures the beads in place. Take a small piece of floral wire and insert it halfway through the last bead. Bend the lower end upward, then twist the wires.
Covering the foam
Take some fake moss and use it to cover the foam.
Attaching the vines
Insert the end of each beaded wire into the foam, then bend the ends so they hang down.
Bending the wires
Slightly bend the wires to mimic real vines.
Hanging your terracotta pot
This step is optional. If you want to hang your beaded plant, you can use a jute rope.
