Putting Together Spring and Easter Centerpieces

Meet Liyana from Liyana DIY and get a preview of what you will be learning in this class.

Liyana will introduce herself and the class. You will be shown what materials you need and the alternatives that you can use.

You will start forming the basis of the arrangement. You'll see how to stack and arrange your cups, how to fill your cup, and the material needed to do this. You'll also add your rabbit in the teacup.

You can purchase ready-made eggs to use, but in case you cannot find the right colour, Liyana will show you how to paint your egg and decorate it to suit your style more. You'll learn what a dotting tool is and what it does, as well as the difference between a sponge paintbrush and a regular one. You'll see how you can add different textures depending on the way you use your brush.

You'll carry on working inside the teacup, adding eggs and carrots this time. Liyana will explain the process of landscaping and how you should place and arrange your objects so that it is presented beautifully.

Liyana will show you the different types of moss you can use in your project. She will explain how you can get moss for free, where to find it and what it looks like. You'll also see what kind of moss you can purchase off amazon; the texture and colour of it. If you collect your own moss, Liyana will show you how to get rid of the soil beneath it, so that you have the moss alone to work with. You will learn how to take off your moss to keep it alive, and how to arrange it at the base of your cloche.

You'll see what kind of flowers you can use, from real dried flowers to small pastel flower heads. Liyana will talk about what glue to use (if any) and how to arrange your flowers in a natural way.

Now you'll see the final piece and what you could recreate! Liyana encourages you to follow her Creative Fabrica profile, click like, and share your own recreation!
