diy flower egg cup

Using egg cups as part of your spring décor is super simple.  Egg cups are very easy to come by this time of year and are very inexpensive.  I think most of mine came from the bargain bin at Target, but I have found vintage ones at thrift stores as well.  Sometimes I add my own embellishments – like the white egg cup in these photos where I added a painted gold metallic rim.

In addition to displaying painted or decorated eggs in egg cups, they also come in handy as vessels for flowers.  Adding fresh flowers to an egg cup is an easy DIY and can serve as a wonderful addition to any Easter table!

To make a floral egg cup; first, cut a piece of floral foam to fit into the chosen egg cup.  (If working with fresh flowers, be sure to use an egg cup that can hold water!)  Decide on the flowers you will be using and bundle them together. Pick a flower with a stiff stem and use a small piece of floral wire to tie the stems together.  The wire will also be helpful when sticking the flowers into the floral foam – making it easier to push the stems into the foam.  Add water if you are using fresh flowers.  Finish your arrangement with some moss to cover the floral foam.
