Hello dear friends! Despite temperatures dipping into the ’20s here in Texas I just can’t resist adding a few touches of green around Storybook Cottage. Here is a Fast and Frugal Spring Centerpiece.
Fast and Frugal Spring Centerpiece
I’m happy to participate in 10 on the Tenth where a group of bloggers each creates a project under 10 dollars on the tenth of each month. Our theme for March was “Spring”. Thank you to Chasing Quaintness for organizing!
Supply List
- A container. I used one of the wooden caddies Mr. Decor made for me. Old drawers, trays, and boxes also work.
- Some sort of liner. A plastic bag or wrap works well.
- A few plants. These wee bits of greenery were found at my local nursery for $1.50 each. You can use faux too.
- Moss. I often see it at Dollar Tree. It can also be found at most crafting supply stores. Use a coupon!
- Assorted springtime decor such as rabbits, birds, nests, and eggs.
First Step
Line your container to with plastic to protect it if you are using real plants.
Second Step
Position your plants in the container. For added protection, I placed the plants in small glass containers in case I overwater.
Third Step
Add moss to the container to surround the plants. This can be a messy task so I opted to do this outside.
Fourth Step
Nestle in your decorative accents.
I’ve actually had the vintage bunnies, nests, moss, and eggs for many years so the only cost for this vignette was the plants making it well below $10!
A bonus is that, with care, it can last all spring.

This looks lovely, Laura! Those tiny plants are perfect for a spring vignette and I love your bunnies!
Very pretty! I love those vintage bunnies…. I have a wooden box on my mantel that The Hubs made for me and I see a new look for it coming soon. Thanks for the inspo!
Your centerpiece is adorable! I love the wooden crate!
Laura I have a long skinny box on my mantel that The Hubs made for me. After seeing your adorable post I can see that some changes need to be made to mine! I love those vintage bunnies!!!!!! THanks for sharing.
Those bunnies are just darling!!
Laura, this is an adorable centerpiece! I love that it is easy and inexpensive to put together. Also, by removing the bunnies/eggs and adding a some other plants, it really can carry you through spring and into summer! Hugs!
Very cute idea….I need an Easter centerpiece so you have inspired me!
I can’t believe that would be so cheap! Looks fantastic Laura! Hmmm, is that your Pinterest Challenge too? Looks like it. LOL
Very cute!!
Laura, I love the Easter/Spring decor. The speckled eggs are my favorite. I hope warm temps return soon in Texas.
Oh Laura it is just adorable ! I love your real plants!
Super cute idea! I just pinned it. Clever idea with the little plants in dishes. Have a great week, Kippi #kippiathome
That looks so cute I love it! I may have to copy your idea.
Have a good day!
Sweet! Love your creation.
That looks adorable, Laura and gives me some ideas… though I’ll have to alter where the moss and real plants are involved, since we have 4 cats and the 2 young ones have been known to dig all of the dirt out of my largest houseplants (which is why houseplants don’t work in general for our house). But still – I can work with this. I had Jim get all the spring decor out of the garage last weekend – which is a start. It’s the first time I’ve felt like decorating since Mom died.
Love this idea of putting the plants together. I don’t get a lot of light in my home but this box would be perfect in my bay window. and I could have several types of plants contained together. Your bunnies are adorable as well. TFS with #OMHGWW
Your centerpiece looks so adorable, Laura! You always share such pretty things.
This is so cute and amazing you made it under $10! Thanks for linking this post with us at #OMHGWW!
Adorable, Laura! Real plants just make it, don’t they?
This is such a cute idea, love the vintage bunnies #plantlover
Really adorable, Laura. I think I have everything except the plants! I might even have some of those. So cheery — and I am so ready for cheer!
Laura, your bunny centerpiece is really beautiful! I love how each of our centerpieces are similar but very different ~ part of the fun of this spring hop!! I got back from driving to California late last Saturday night and have been working on moving into our house since. Our movers arrived on Thursday and several service providers came and installed utilities, so it has been crazy busy! I apologize for not finishing up and visiting before today; maybe this will bring more traffic, I hope.
Have a great weekend,
Bunny hugs,
Barb 🙂
It’s adorable. I love the live plants. So pretty.
Such a sweet creation, Laura. I love it. Your tiny plants are precious. My oldest daughter is home for spring break and we have already decided to stop at a local greenhouse this week — I can’t wait. And you know me, I’m all about frugal home decor:) Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm. Pinned! xo Kathleen
