It Takes Tulip

What’s springier than a tulip? A trunkful of tulips! We’ll show you how to turn these lovely flowers into easy-breezy springtime décor.

Project Instructions

Step 1

Using photo as a guide, trim tulips to two different lengths that will work for your trunk— you’ll need longer stems for back of trunk and shorter ones for front. Tip: Keep leaf portions of stems to use as filler.
Step 2

Glue foam bricks into trunk.
Step 3

Cover foam bricks with moss, using floral pins to secure.
Step 4

Starting with back 1/3 of container, insert longer stems into foam as desired. Tip: To achieve a more natural look, stagger flowers as shown. Avoid evenly spacing.
Step 5

Working toward front of container, insert shorter stems into foam as desired. When all stems have been placed, adjust heights as necessary for desired look.
Step 6

Fill in empty spaces with blossom sprays and reserved leaf portions.
