A bag of Easter delights
Everyone loves an Easter egg hunt, but for a contemporary decorative twist present individual flowers in a paper filled with eggs. The brown bag compliments the eggshells and lets the intricate leaves of the ranunculus in this display, whilst the batik-inspired cloth takes the simple design to another level.
Urban petit fours

Combine Ranunculus, Lathyrus, Pearblossom, Forget-Me-Nots, Parrot tulips and Bleeding hearts to create a lush bouquet. Once you've placed these in a vase, wrap some coarse material around the edge for a more rustic look.
An upcycled display
If you carefully collect the net bags that oranges and onions come in, then you can reuse them to create something quite spectacular this Easter. Pour some water into a large yoghurt tub, then add flowers - we love these Hyacinths, Narcissus, Grape Hyacinths, Tulips and Carnations - before placing them into the net bags and hanging them from rope. A great way to reuse your old fruit and vegetable bags!
