I knew I would end up using these vases for multiple things. So I bought 3. Ha!
This new project was an Easter vase using themed candies and flowers.
You will need:
- 2 vases, one being able to fit inside the other
- jelly beans - I got only orange...to match the flowers.
- peeps (the bunnies are better) - I got yellow bunnies.
- flowers - I went with orange tulips.
I found a drinking glass that fit inside of the vase. I would recommend (because mine didn't) a glass that is NOT wider at the top of the glass. When we get to the next step, you'll see why.
I emptied out the popcorn kernels, put the glass inside the vase, and put the jelly beans between the vase and the glass. It was hard because my glass was wider at the top, leaving a small space to pour jelly beans into and not getting any in the glass.
Next, I took my Peeps. This picture is to prove to my mom that yellow bunny Peeps DO exists!
Again, I wish my glass was skinner at the top. It took a lot of maneuvering to get the Peeps to fit between the vase and glass without completely mushing them. I was proud that they almost covered the top of the glass!
I found these gorgeous, blooming, orange tulips at Kroger! For $9.99!!!! Aren't they gorgeous?!
As you can tell, I'm still learning and exploring picture angles and lighting with my new camera. What do you think of the last picture of the tulips?
The last step in making the vase was to put water in the glass ONLY and trimming the tulips to fit!
Am I just bias or is this fun & gorgeous or what?!
Here they are in my Easter display. Go
here to see where to get the details on that display.
