How to Make Easter Flower Arrangements

When looking for a beautiful way to display those bright spring flowers, consider making this stunning Easter arrangement. Begin with colorful tulips and/or daffodils, arrange in an Easter basket and you will have a gorgeous Easter arrangement to grace your dinner table.

Things You'll Need

• Easter basket
• Floral foam
• Plastic container to hold foam
• 1 to 2 dozen flowers (tulips, daffodils, hyacinths or lilies)
• Colored Easter eggs
• Easter basket grass

Instructions

1. 

   Select a basket to use for your flower arrangement. One without handles works especially well, and any Easter basket will work.

2. 

   Soak the floral foam in water for about 20 minutes. Set aside to let the excess water drip out; once it is not dripping excessively, place inside the plastic container and put inside the basket.

3. 

   Cut your flowers to the right size for your basket. Flowers should be short enough to cover the foam. Cut flowers to varying heights for variation.

4. Place pieces of crumpled newspaper in the basket around the foam. Arrange the Easter grass over the paper. Use enough grass to cover the foam and paper; let some fluff over the sides of the basket.

5. 

   Put colored Easter eggs on top of the grass in the basket. Arrange in groups. If the eggs sink too low into the basket, use more newspaper under the grass; an alternative is to put foam to cover the whole inside of the basket. Lay the grass on top of the foam. This will give the eggs something to sit on.

Tips & Warnings

• You can use plastic eggs.

• Use chocolate Easter bunnies in place of the eggs.
