Create an Easy Spring Blooming Centerpiece for Easter
Daffodils are the harbingers of spring and if spring had a "smell" it would be hyacinths! This blooming centerpiece uses both daffodils and hyacinths in a "welcome spring" centerpiece or for your Easter table!
This is a quick & easy method to create a blooming centerpiece anytime of year, using flowers in season from the garden center. It takes about 10 minutes to create this centerpiece once you have your supplies gathered and will last for a couple of weeks.
To create this spring centerpiece I used a rustic wooden box / caddy that I used for a rustic harvest centerpiece for Thanksgiving. You can use any kind of wooden box, crate, basket or tray to build your centerpiece.
I lined the caddy with plastic then added some pots of spring flowering bulbs~ hyacinths and daffodils that I picked up at the garden center at Walmart.
Large pots of fragrant hyacinths and cheery daffodils were $5 and mini pots were $1 at Walmart. The bulbs can be planted in the garden to enjoy next year after the blooms fade.
Water your flowering bulbs so they’re moist and remove them from their plastic pots. Arrange the bulbs in your box or caddy so they appear to be planted and growing together. I added two small pots of variegated ivy on opposites ends, that I also picked up at Walmart.
Next I added a layer of sheet moss to cover the soil. I soaked the sheet moss in water to re-hydrate it, squeezing out the excess water and then piecing the moss together. Soaking the moss makes it look a little more “alive” and makes it easier to piece together. It also provides some moisture for the bulbs or flowers that you’re covering.
Add some dyed or faux Easter eggs for a finishing touch or accent for your centerpiece.
Enjoy this arrangement for spring or Easter! The flowering bulbs will last a couple of weeks, mist with a spray bottle or lightly water to keep the moss and bulbs fresh. When the flowers fade, plant them in the garden to enjoy next spring!

No, just lift the bulb out of the pot, potting soil and all, then top with moss.

Where did you get the lil bunny? It's adorable.
Since the bulbs were removed from the plastic pots, did you add potting soil before topping with moss?
