Grow



Never underestimate the power of growth,
Strength comes from the depths.

Easter Centerpiece

Last minute Easter hosted in my humble abode called for a quick and easy centerpiece, with minimal time required!  Picked up some yellow daisy's, one small bunch of baby's breath and 2 chocolate bunnies - Voila!

I used white beans that I happened to have in the cupboard for filler, and a large mason jar (previously pasta sauce jar) as the vase.  Cylinder Vases also look sleek & spring-y!
 
NOTE: Do not make this the night before if you are using beans (as I learned with this centerpiece).  The beans will expand overnight and appear mushy in the morning!

  • 2 Chocolate Bunnies (Wrapped)
  • 1 Vase/Large Mason Jar
  • 1 Bunch of Spring Flowers
  • 1 Bunch of Baby's Breath
  • 1/2 Cups Filler (Beans, Jelly Beans, Rocks, Anything will work!)
Instructions:
Place filler in the bottom of jar.
Follow with water to, about an 2-3 inches from the brim.
Arrange flowers the way you'd like.
Place a Bunny on each side of vase on table
 
Adding tea light or votive candles can add a bit of light if you are having an evening soiree!
