1. Crabapple delight
Take a few cuttings from a crabapple tree and place the twigs in a milk bottle or vase. Search for varying colors of blooms, or add a few flowers fresh from the garden.
2. Spring greeting
A clear cookie jar shows off a mix of dyed eggs and a medley of flowers united by their color.
Start with a large-mouth cookie jar or canister, a clear drinking glass that fits inside the jar, dyed hard-cooked eggs and flowers. Center the drinking glass inside the jar and carefully stack the eggs between the glass and jar, alternating egg colors. Fill the glass with water.
Cut the stems of your favorite flowers (we used roses, gerbera daisies, tulips, hyacinths and bells of Ireland) to the desired length and arrange them in the glass.
3. Bulb planter centerpiece
Bulb planters are handy for getting daffodils into the ground in fall, and they double as quaint containers in spring. Set a single planter in the center of a small table, put one at each place setting or stagger several in a line down the center of a long table. Drop a small jar in the center of each planter, fill the jar with water and add a half-dozen or so of your favorite daffodil blooms.
4. Petite pretties
Sedums and violets planted in soil-filled, dyed Easter eggs say spring in a simple way. Moss fills empty spots in the carboard egg carton.
5. Casual display
Cuttings from the garden bring the outdoors to your table. Display in beaker vases; elevate one or two on wood slices to add another woodsy touch.
