COM MONDAY with Totally Tulip-tastic Display Arrangment

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of iBulb for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
This time of the year is the perfect time of year to enjoy some gorgeous tulips. There is such a wide range of tulip colors to choose from too. You can enjoy your tulips for spring time, in a pretty Easter display for the holiday, or to give to your mother for mothers day. I personally am so fond of Tulips. My grandmother loved tulips they were her favorite flower. My grandfather was from Holland and he was her "Boyfriend" as she always referred to him by.  So growing up and visiting my grandparents I always remember seeing tulips in her home, "Tulips and Dutch Clogs." If I had my way I would love to make a pretty Tulip display in a pair of clogs. Tulips are so sweet and pretty and they sure carry a special place in my heart. Having tulips in my home and creating this tulip display makes me feel like I have a piece of my grandparents in my home.  

I have always wanted to create a Easter candy centerpiece using Tulips as my flowers. I have seen this cute Easter candy display  idea for a long time, so I was thrilled to finally be able to make my own.
I used two bags of jellybeans, one good bushel of edible candy grass, and 1 package of yellow peeps. I started with a round glass vase, and then placed a med. sized drinking glass in the center of the vase. I poured my bags of jellybeans down around the glass making it even. I then placed the edible candy grass next, and lastly added my peeps. I then trimmed my Tulips and added them inside the drinking glass. I used some extra leafs as fillers. I love how it turned out and it just screams Easter Spring Happiness.
