Spring Centerpiece with Velvet Easter Eggs
Spring is almost here (officially tomorrow)! And to celebrate, I’m sharing my spring centerpiece with velvet Easter eggs. Yep, I said VELLLLVEEEET! Woot!
SPRING CENTERPIECE with VELVET EASTER EGGS
YES! Spring is in the air… and I’m here today to share my first spring post of the year with you. And what’s more, at the bottom of this post you get to see FIFTEEN spring centerpieces from some of my blogger friends, as well! Because this is…
If you are hopping over (see what I did there?) from LoraBloomquist.com, welcome! What a lovely site she has, right? And her centerpiece is so warm and looks like it was brought in right from the great outdoors!
Our Hostess
Our Pinterest challenge is hosted by Cindy at County Road 407. Thank you, Cindy, for being such a wonderful hostess and putting this together!
Inspiration
With a Pinterest Challenge, we normally are given a “Pin” that inspires us to create something similar, with our own twist. However, this time we were inspired by a photo on Instagram! To be specific, we were inspired by Lisa’s spring centerpiece from @ASimplyStyledNest (be sure to give her a follow). This is the gorgeous centerpiece that inspired us…
Isn’t it amazing? Thanks, Lisa, for the inspiration!

My Inspired Spring Centerpiece with Velvet Easter Eggs
Usually, I wait to share my finished product with you until the end. This time, you get to see the finished product first and then I’ll show you the steps to get the same look!
Ta-da! Let’s look at how to achieve this spring vignette that will add a bit of charm to your house, small home, or apartment.
This post may contain affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.
For more information, see my complete disclosure HERE.
What You Will Need
- Standing Rabbit (or whatever bunny you like… this one is no longer available, but HERE is a cute alternative)
- A round woven tray (I found mine at HomeGoods for $7.99!)
- Raffia filler
- Speckled Easter eggs (you can pick these up at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby)
- Floral stems (your choice, I used two different types, purple and white)
- Lamb’s Ear stems (you can pick these up at Hobby Lobby)
- DIY velvet Easter eggs (Tutorial HERE!)
- “Hello Spring” wooden sign (available in-store only at Michael’s)
What To Do
This is really a super simple vignette to put together. It really only took about 15 minutes.
- Cover the inside of the tray/basket with the raffia. This will allow you to insert the florals easily. A small bowl turned upside-down adds height for the bunny to ‘stand’ above the florals and eggs.
- Position your bunny inside the basket (and on top of the bowl, if needed.)
- Add Lamb’s Ear, covering most of the top of the raffia.
- Insert sprigs of florals.
- Arrange the florals so they stick out of the weave to add a ‘natural’ rustic look.
- Add speckled Easter eggs, velvet Easter eggs and “Hello Spring” mini sign.

Finished Spring Centerpiece with Velvet Easter Eggs
Adding a linen runner with some candlesticks and aqua candles finishes off the look. I couldn’t be happier!
The bunny, florals, and eggs are all inspired by Lisa’s lovely centerpiece!
Would you like to learn how to make the velvet Easter eggs? Well, the tutorial should be coming your way VERY soon!
The sweet little wooden sign adds just the right finishing touch!
And to ‘fill-in’ the centerpiece, you can add a little nest of eggs!
Remember, you want the centerpiece to make a statement, but never make it so large that you can’t see the person on the other side of the table. 😉
Now It’s Time to Do More Hopping!

Sweet arrangement, Julie! I like how you’re bringing back the velvet for spring! Pinning, my friend!
Thank you, Crissy. Yes, I searched for velvet Easter eggs and came up with very little… and no tutorials. So, I think it will be fun to show how to make these, too! 😉 Hugs, sweet friend!
Cute, Julie! I couldn’t help but think of the Velveteen Rabbit with your velvet eggs; they’re so pretty! Fun “hopping” with you, neighbor!
Oh, thank you, Lora. This has been so fun (it’s my very first blog hop)! I didn’t even think of the Velveteen Rabbit! Too cute! 😉
Hi Julie! Love your interpretation of this Pinterest Challenge!!! I do love round baskets as they have sooo many uses and are easy to store when not in use. I would like to learn how to make your velvet Easter eggs!!! My velvet pumpkins turned out really well (thank you for your great tutorial!) and I saved most of my stems for a new crop coming up later this year.
Off and hopping,
Hugs,
Barb 🙂

Your Easter centerpiece is so pretty, Julie! I have all the elements you used to put yours together. After seeing this, I’m plucking all those elements I’ve displayed randomly around the house into something similar this. Thank you for the inspiration! Pinned 🙂
Oh, you made my day, Marie! 😉 You and I both know that inspiring others is a HUGE part of our blogging! Hugs and hearts, sweet friend!
I can’t think of a thing to add to your adorable centerpiece Julie! Well, except a little bowl filled with pastel colored M& M’s 😉 wink wink! It is just adorable!!
Ooooo, yes! That’s EXACTLY what it needs! LOL!
This is such a lovely display for spring and Easter, Julie. Your velvet eggs look gorgeous. Thanks for partying with us at Snickerdoodle. I’ll be featuring this at this week’s party. Hope to see you there!

Julie! This is wonderful!! What a beautiful centerpiece you’ve created, and how lovely are those velvet eggs! Thank you so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week!
Thank you for the feature, Richella! Always nice to be ‘appreciated’! 😉
Julie, love the centerpiece but where did you find the aqua candles? Just what I am looking for! Bonus points if they are unscented! I found you on Grace at Home today.
Thanks for hopping on over here, and for the sweet words. Those candles are from Pier 1… it’s one of there stock candles. No bonus points for me, because they ARE scented, and I LOVE the fragrance! Hope this helps, friend!
Thank you!!
