Material and Colours

Salmon red OR07

Vintage Orange CO02

CORN YELLOW GE06

LIGHT YELLOW OCHER GE12

For the first vase, which we present here in the step-by-step instructions, we have combined the colours salmon red and vintage orange. The salmon red from the Dreamer felt is a vibrant, cheerful shade that makes this Easter decoration pop. The Vintage Orange wool thread is a subtle, warm shade that adds a touch of elegance to the Easter vases. For the second vase, you can combine corn yellow and a light ochre yellow. Corn yellow is a bright, fresh colour. Combined with the delicate ochre yellow, your piece in this combination is a guarantee for good mood.

You are completely flexible in terms of colours and can of course choose what you like best. As you can see, we have also worked with the white Dreamer felt. We offer matching wool cords for all Dreamer felts, so you can let your creativity run wild.

Step by Step

Step 1: Attach the felt sheathing

Take the felt roll and wrap the felt strip once around your vase to quickly and easily determine the right length. Let the two felt ends overlap slightly so that you can be sure that there will be no unsightly gaps. Now attach a piece of double-sided tape vertically to the vase and fix one end of the felt tape with it.

Step 2: Wrap with wool thread

Wrap the felt ribbon around the vase. If you want, you can fix the second end with one or two dots of hot glue. However, tying it with the smart thread is also sufficient to fix it in place. To determine the length of the thread, wrap it around your vase 5 to 6 times and then cut it with the scissors. Now wrap the thread criss-cross around the felt for a loose look.

Step 3: Fill with bulbs

Fill the vase slightly above the lower felt edge with flower bulbs. You can use any material to fill the vase: Pieces of wood, stones, cones, etc. We advise you to choose natural material that harmonises with the other decorative material. To reach the height where we want to place the inlay bowl, we filled the vase with paper. Make sure that the paper does not protrude beyond the felt band and is not visible from the outside.

Step 4: Prepare the inlay bowls

Take a glass inlay bowl of a suitable size. You won't see the bowl from the outside later because of the felt coating. Fill the bowl with the cress or grow the cress in the container. You can also use other green material, such as moss.

Step 5: Decorate and place the eggs

Take the blown-out eggs and decorate them with goose feathers. You can steal a few feathers from the Dreamer felt if you don't have any on hand. Place the feathers loosely on the eggs or fix them with a dot of hot glue. Carefully place the eggs on the cress meadow: The greenery makes your vase look a bit like an Easter nest!

Et voilà!

Your first vase is ready! Your work of art will look better in company: Decorate a few more vases to make your Easter table a real feast for the eyes. For example, place two vases of the same size on top of each other and fix them with tape. This way you can also work with fresh spring flowers such as tulips or snowdrops in the upper vase. The transition between the vases is well hidden under the Dreamer felt cover.
