This Daffodil Centerpiece is the perfect addition to any colorful table. Plus, you can give one to each of your guests. And they can literally be planted pot and all – I mean, does it get any better than that?
These beauties look stunning in an Easter tablescape. And they are such a cinch to make, too!
I found Daffodils at Walmart for $1/pot <—- what a steal! You will also need:
- Peat Pots
- Paper Doilies – 6 inch
- Mod Podge
I watered down my Mod Podge just a bit to make it easier to apply. I thought dipping the paper doilies seemed a bit simpler than using a foam brush. Taking each doily and working individually, you will want to dip it into your mod podge solution quickly, making sure it doesn’t fold in on itself too much. Quickly is key. You don’t want it too saturated as the paper will tear easily when applied to the pot.
Place all of your peat pots upside down on a covered surface. Gently wrap your soaked doily around the pot. You don’t want to pull and adjust too much as this will also cause tearing. The goal is to set it down in place the first time and push in/gather the sides a bit.
This was my solution for drying (which takes approx. 24 hours). I needed the pots to remain upside down, but for the doily to not touch anything. My extra spray paint cans were the perfect solution!
Once the doilies are fully dry, transfer the plants over from their plastic store pots. These peat pots are just a smidge smaller than the original daffodil pots, but I wasn’t too concerned as I knew the daffodil babies would only be “living” in these pots a short time before they were buried in the garden, pretty doily and all.
I just adore these gorgeous yellow flowers. They are perfect on the table and bring so much brightness to the setting.
