What you need for your spring decoration
• A bowl with an integrated candle holder
(you can find a beautiful option, for example, here: at Nordic Nest). Alternatively, wax adhesive tabs can be used to securely fix the candle.
• A taper candle
• Some soil
• Moss for a soft, natural surface
• Early bloomers like snowdrops, grape hyacinths, scilla, or other small bulb plants
Step-by-step to your spring bowl
1. Prepare the bowl
Place a small amount of soil in the bowl. It serves not only as a base but also keeps the plants stable.
2. Plant early bloomers
Now, place your early-blooming plants in the soil. Whether snowdrops, scilla, or small grape hyacinths – all of them instantly bring color and vibrancy to the arrangement.
3. Cover with moss
Place some natural moss around the plants. This makes the bowl look more harmonious and gives it that typical "forest-spring" charm. It also keeps the soil underneath nice and moist.
4. Place the candle
The taper candle goes in the middle.
If your bowl doesn't have a candle holder, you can simply fix it with a wax adhesive tab. This way, it stands securely and stably.
5. Enjoy
And just like that, your little spring bowl is ready – a natural, warm, small light for the still-cool season.
