Buckets of Fun!



Vibrant carnations in charming containers make meaningful springtime gifts that add a touch of fun to Easter, Mother’s Day, showers and more. Decorate any cute container, insert the CFPC carnation of your choice, then add adorable spring accents like speckled eggs, fresh budding branches and ornamental wildlife.


1.
Paint bucket with white spray paint. Dry thoroughly. Remove leaves from ivy and blooms from daisies, then hot-glue to base of bucket as shown. Allow to dry.


2.
Place Yellow Lacy carnation in bucket. Group and add eggs and butterfly to focal area. Topiary loop: Wire both ends of cut fresh branches and insert ends into soil on opposite sides of container.



For this arrangement, simply insert Cupid carnation into a playful pink and green plaid watering can. Tie one yard of #4 pink satin ribbon to can handle. A feathered butterfly and miniature gardening tools complete the design. Very versatile for spring gift giving!
