Easter Centerpiece Ideas

Tip: Easy Easter/Spring Centerpiece

I wanted to create a nice centerpiece for spring. I stopped in Walmart and found these lovely little pots of tulips, narcissus, and hyacinths for only 98 cents each. I chose one of each, plunked them into a pretty Easter basket I had and voila, a lovely spring centerpiece!

It would make a nice gift when visiting as well and looks much more expensive than about $4, including the basket!

Tip: Coloring Fresh Flowers

At Easter when cutting fresh white flowers from the garden, I put food coloring in the vase of water. I get beautiful pastel flowers. Kids also enjoy doing this.
