Easter Pails + Window Gels

categories: centerpiece ideas, decorating ideas, easter

easy Easter centerpieces

In my quest to come up with easy & budget-friendly Easter decorations this year, here’s another idea that fit the bill and only took a few minutes to whip together: mini pails +  window gels + flowers = super cute Easter Centerpieces!

Shopping Resources:
Mini pails: $1 bins at Target
Window gels: Target ($1.99/pack of 2 bunnies + 2 carrots)
English Daisies – Home Depot ($3.49/plant)
Gerbera Daisies – grocery store ($5/bunch)

Use your own favorite flowers or bedding plants for these arrangements – tulips or marigolds would be lovely options for Easter too. For the window gels – just shop, peel and stick…can’t get much easier than that!

    Perfect! I was just going to order a center piece from a flower shop but I think I will just go to Target.

    Thank you!

    Adorable! I have the same pails from Target to use for my daughter’s first communion. I’m using the purple and painting her silhouette on them in white. LOVE the dollar spot!

    This would make a simple (and mess free) craft for the kiddos to do! Thanks!!

    The pots are adorable. I’ve looked at target.com and didn’t see the window gels. Did you find them in the Easter seasonal section of the store? What city are you located in/near? I’m in Michigan, hoping to find the gels tomorrow at Target…just curious where you found them in store!

    Hi Haley –
    I’m in San Diego – and these particular window gels were in the seasonal Easter section of the store.

    They were near the greeting cards/stickers that were in that area, which was kind of strange because I saw more Easter window gels (different designs) in a separate area.

    Hope you can find them! :)
