Flowers brighten any holiday, and this charming Easter arrangement is no exception. Its unique goose eggshell container adds a touch of whimsy to any tabletop. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial on creating this arrangement, which you can offer ready-made in your shop or teach others how to make at an in-store workshop.
1. Gather the following materials:
• Precut goose eggshell with stand
• Floral foam
• Knife
• Floral shears
• Rio Yellow Pompon Daisies
• Rio Yellow Craspedia
• Filler flowers of your choice
2. If your eggshell isn’t precut, carefully cut off the top, leaving the edges jagged for a natural look. You can also decorate it with a ribbon to make it even more festive. Then, trim your floral foam to fit inside the eggshell and soak it in water.
3. Insert the floral foam into the eggshell, leaving plenty of room at the sides so it’s easy to insert flowers inside the shell. Cut your flower stems so that they will insert into the floral foam and come just outside of the eggshell.
4. Insert the flowers into the foam, starting with the daisies, then adding the craspedia and other filler flowers along the sides and on top of the floral foam. Arrange them at different heights so that you create volume and interest. But don’t overdo it: less is more in this small arrangement.
The completed design is beautiful enough for any Easter table and makes the perfect hostess gift. Your customers will love this whimsical eggshell arrangement, so have plenty on hand in your store this season.
