Flower arrangement tutorial: SIMPLE FLOWER + TEAPOT CENTERPIECE
With only a few simple supplies and some affordable blooms you can create a sweet teapot centerpiece that will look like it took you loads more time and effort that it really did.
You will need:
- A teapot of any variety (lid not needed) | You can often find affordable used pots at thrift stores, if you don't already have one on hand.
- Flowers with full blooms | I used two bunches of daffodils from our local grocery store for this project. These flowers are great because they are in season right now and super affordable (under $3 a bunch)...but you can really use anything from roses and tulips to lilacs or lilies in your centerpiece in their place. You could even make yours with greenery or flowers that you've scavenged from the outdoors. Pick a favorite bloom and run with it.
- Pruning shears or scissors | Shears will obviously work best and may be necessary depending on the type of flower you use, but scissors can be used if you prefer (just be aware that thick stems may damage your scissors).
- Floral frog (optional) | You can find cheap floral frogs at your local craft store (mine was only about $2). For this project they are very helpful but not entirely necessary. In place of a floral frog you could also use marbles, pebbles, etc.
How to:
- Carefully set your floral frog inside your teapot and fill pot 1/2 way with cold water.
- Snip the ends of your flowers one at a time and insert them inside teapot, securing with floral frog. I'm sure there is a correct way to do this, but I'm not a floral designer so I just started by adding my tallest blooms to the center and then began to fill around and under those with shorter blooms. I think the beauty of a bouquet like this is that it the fullness of the flowers really helps you out and hides any patches that you might have missed.
- Place your handmade centerpiece on your table or tie a tag on the handle and give as a gift to an unsuspecting friend (don't forget to include the lid)! Enjoy! xo Ez

In Easter song chosen flowers bright, but preference is given to the classic varieties, without being too bright colors and original forms. In color composition should be designed in the tradition of Easter, taking into account the symbolism of color: white, yellow, gold - the colors of spirituality, light, clean, green - the color of hope, light blue and dark blue - the colors of the sky, faith, red - the color of life and rebirth.
Gift for Easter: Easter flowers
The most popular Easter flowers are hyacinths, tulips and daffodils, symbolizing the resurrection of nature after the winter cold, as well as roses and carnations, which are traditionally considered "colors of Christ." They adorn the tables, cakes, Easter wreaths, icons. Exotic flowers are rarely used on Passover, because for all its beauty, they do not comply with the spirit of this holiday.
Easter bouquet often going round, with feathers, shells, palm had the figures of birds, chickens, and various birds. Very popular bouquet that is going on a frame of branches, resembling a bird's nest.Willow twigs gathered into a bundle, adding parallel, take both ends and twist in opposite directions along a spiral, then record just above the middle. Top in the middle put a small vase of spring flowers.
Recently accepted to do flowers on cake. It is usually small in size with a single flower and greenery.These flowers are collected on a hairpin, usually wooden, on which he was then fastened to the cake.
Unusual Easter table decoration can be in the form of compositions and eggs. Egg-shaped form can be cut from a piece of oasis, and decorate with flowers or make a frame made of papier-mache, and then glue flower petals, leaves and other decorative materials.
The most common colored eggs can also become part of the Easter decorations, if they just put a song of spring flowers. At Easter bouquet is typically used only a hollow shell (raw egg doing a two small holes at opposite ends and blow the contents), which provides ease and convenience of their fixation.
Wonderful, besides the traditional complement to spring flowers will be green carpet of grass young.Can be used for this purpose wheat or other cereal, but it is old, oats symbolizes eternal cycle of life and springtime renewal of nature. The week before Easter Sunday put a handful of oats in the damp low pot or bowl, cover with a wet rag and put in a warm place. Make sure that the tank contents do not dry out. Appears also not forget the grass watered, preferably - to spray from the sprinkler.
There is another, more "solid" way. 7-10 days prior to Easter at the bottom of the dish sprinkle 1-2 cm in the land, which is slightly wet, sprinkle on top and grains. Over - even 1 cm of the earth. Planting pour, but gently, and put in a warm place, such as a battery. Make sure the ground was always damp.
