Things You'll Need:
- Easter Basket Grass
- Oasis Floral Foam
- Flowers
- Garden Shears
- Old Kitchen Knife
- Platters
-
Step 1
Select colorful flowers from your garden or the flower shop. Carnations, primroses, pansies, calendulas and similarly flat-faced flowers work well for this project.
-
Step 2
Soak a block of floral foam in a basin of water until it sinks to the bottom.
-
Step 3
Carve the soaked block of foam into an egg shape, leaving the base of the egg flat.
-
Step 4
Place the shaped foam, flat side down, into a shallow, waterproof container such as a platter.
-
Step 5
Insert flower stems into the foam, beginning at one end of the egg shape. The flowers should have short stems so that the blossoms rest directly on the foam.
-
Step 6
Cover the entire block of foam, including the sides, with flowers. Create stripes, dots and patterns with the flowers.
-
Step 7
Place some plastic Easter basket grass around the base of your arrangement to complete the effect of a giant floral egg.
-
Step 8
Use your Easter egg as a centerpiece or to grace your holiday buffet table.
