Spring Arrangement
For an elegant and magical spring centerpiece, use jelly beans or other items to surround your bouquet. The trick to making this clever arrangement is to use a little vase inside a bigger one. Watch the video, below, for some tips on making this clever arrangement. Then download the Project Sheet, above for a hard copy of the instructions.
What you need for the arrangement
Large pitcher or other vase
Smaller container to fit inside pitcher
Floral glue or tacky wax
Fresh cranberries, candy or other items to fit between the containers or vases
Cut stems of fresh flowers
Fresh greenery
How to make the project
1 Place the smaller container inside the pitcher. The smaller container should leave enough room around it for the cranberries or candy. See Illustration A, below. Use some floral tacky glue or wax to secure if necessary.
2 Carefully place the cranberries between the two containers using a funnel if desired. See Illustration B. Use a pick to adjust the cranberries or candy. See Illustration C. Fill the inside container with water. Add the flowers and greenery.
Roses and Lime Slices
I love this simple little centerpiece. I used a low flat dish from my china cupboard and filled with with water, glitter, and small roses.

What you need
Shallow clear glass bowl or dish
Water
Small pink roses
Scissors
Thin slices of small limes such as key limes
Lime green glitter
How to make the project
1 Fill the shallow bowl with water. Cut the heads from the roses and float in the water. Add the slices of lime. Sprinkle the limesland roses with glitter. The arrangement will last for about 3 days.
