The Astro-Weenie Topiary
Astro Weenie Christmas Tree Test Kitchen creation, submitted by Amy

“I’m the owner of a group called Southern Tier Mommies of Babies. It’s a group for moms in the Southern Tier of New York who have babies from ages 0-36 months. We have gatherings/playdates/meetings all the time. Yesterday, I hosted a “fancy tea party” where everyone dressed up in their best clothes, drank different teas, and snacked on hors d’oeuvres. I brilliantly thought, “Oh, that astro weenie tree would be perfect for this.” Of course, since it’s nearly June, I didn’t want it to be a Christmas tree. So I improvised and made a topiary using a candle-stick-holder and a styrofoam ball.
All of the toddlers absolutely loved my astro-weenie topiary, and the parents were impressed, too. Everyone kept asking me if I made it. So, I just had to submit it.”







You guys are so creative! You’ve all inspired me to try making my own festive Astro Weenie (except I’m vegan, so it will likely be sans Weenie, or perhaps I can add an appropriate subsitute).
I’m off to the craft store!
