global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Moss with bunny #1″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Can you really even have Easter and spring d\u00e9cor without bunnies? \u00a0No? \u00a0I didn\u2019t think so either! \u00a0So let\u2019s add some to those antique dough bowls!<\/p>\n This makes a great dining table centerpiece, but is also a perfect table centerpiece for a coffee table or console table too!<\/p>\n Here are a few ways to add bunnies to your dough bowl:<\/p>\n First, line the bottom of the dough bowl with some green moss. \u00a0I used this inexpensive live moss<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0for some natural elements. \u00a0However, you could also use faux moss for the same look. \u00a0Also, Spanish moss is another really pretty option!\u00a0.<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Secondly, add one larger bunny or a grouping of 2 or 3 bunnies to the middle of your bowl.\u00a0 Depending on the size of your bowl, add a couple of baby plants on each side of the bunnies.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_1283_jpg-scaled.jpg” alt=”stone bunnies arranged with greenery as a centerpiece” title_text=”IMG_1283_jpg”

admin_label=”Moss with bunny #2″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n First, add a vase of fresh eucalyptus and\/or flowers to the center of your dough bowl. \u00a0You could use either faux or fresh greenery and flowers.<\/p>\n Next, consider using a pair of matching bunnies and add one to each side of the vase.<\/p>\n How easy is that?!<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_1281-scaled.jpg” alt=”large glass vase holding faux greenery stems in a

asymmetrical look, start by adding a larger plant to your dough bowl, offset to the side.<\/p>\n Next, on the other side of your dough bowl, add either a larger single bunny or a grouping of smaller bunnies.<\/p>\n Pro Tip: If you have a plant that has tendrils, consider working a long tendril around the bunnies to pull it altogether.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a great way to utilize some of those indoor house plants and still add an Easter statement to your dining table centerpiece!<\/p>\n Any of these bunny options could be altered, tweaked, and restyled in so many different ways. \u00a0These are a few of my favorite ways to decorate a dough bowl for spring with bunnies. \u00a0However, I\u2019m always switching it up a little too and mix and matching the different pieces for a fresh look!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_1284-scaled.jpg” alt=”large stone bunny in a wooden dough bowl with plants inside”

global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n One thing I love about these bunny ideas to decorate a dough bowl for spring is that they work great in a long dough bowl. \u00a0Often, the long narrow dough bowls make perfect table centerpieces and can even be used on a mantel.<\/p>\n For a long dough bowl, take the same concepts and stretch them out in a linear style.<\/strong> \u00a0For example, instead of one larger bunny in the middle, line up a few smaller bunnies down the long dough bowl.<\/p>\n You will get the same effect but fill the length of the space. \u00a0At the same time, the depth of the smaller bunnies will fit in the more narrow dough bowl.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”list of bunnies – links” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Consider these great egg fillers to add to decorate a dough bowl for spring:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Spring FLowers #1-What can I put in the dough bowl on my dining room table?” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A large dough bowl is a beautiful way to take your flower arrangement to a whole new level! \u00a0This makes a gorgeous centerpiece for the dining room table or even a coffee table.<\/p>\n Anytime I\u2019m working with flowers and greenery, I always like to think outside the box a little and use unique vessels to hold my arrangement.<\/p>\n Dough bowls may not be your first thought of a flower arrangement vessel, but they can actually work incredibly well and add so much character to your floral arrangement.<\/p>\n (If you are used to working with florals in your d\u00e9cor, you may feel more confident with this idea. \u00a0However, even if you aren’t give it a try anyway!)<\/p>\n First, use shallow, plastic liners for plants in the bottom of the bowl.<\/p>\n Secondly, inside the liner, place a piece of floral foam. \u00a0For fresh flowers, keep this soaked with water. \u00a0If you are doing faux stems, it is obviously a little easier!<\/p>\n Third, using the floral foam to anchor your flowers, build an arrangement. \u00a0There isn\u2019t a \u201cright\u201d way, just keep playing with it until you love it.<\/p>\n Pro Tip: To cover the foam, I like to start with a base of greenery and then insert my flowers.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n For a dough bowl arrangement, this will work best as a low, flat floral arrangement (which is also great for a centerpiece!).<\/p>\n You\u2019ll need to cut the stems as you go, keeping the blooms fairly tight together. \u00a0It\u2019s important to make sure the foam is covered, as seeing that part isn\u2019t quite as pretty.<\/p>\n Lastly, after making your arrangement, take some moss and cover around the plastic liners.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_1286-scaled.jpg” alt=”blue mason jars holding faux tulips in a wooden dough bowl” title_text=”IMG_1286″

admin_label=”Spring FLowers #2 (tulips)” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For a much more simple and budget-friendly way to style my dough bowl with spring flowers, I used these super realistic white<\/a><\/span>, faux tulips<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n These tulips<\/a><\/strong><\/span> are so realistic and I have even used them in the same room as real tulips, with no one ever realizing there was a difference!\u00a0 They are definitely worth investing in, as you can use them all season long and save them for next year!<\/p>\n I have several bunches of realistic faux tulips<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and I use them all throughout our home in the spring.<\/p>\n First, I lined up three vintage French canning jars in my dough bowl and added some water for a realistic touch.\u00a0 Next, I made little arrangements with the faux tulips<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Pro Tip: There is something about a collection that makes a statement and you simply can\u2019t go wrong with a row of matching tulips arrangements in pretty jars!<\/strong><\/p>\n This styling would work perfectly with mason jars<\/strong> too and you can find those at the dollar store.<\/p>\n You could also use vintage soda bottles<\/strong> lined up and a simple tulip stem in each one.<\/p>\n With florals, you can really go as big or as simple as your time and budget allow.\u00a0 As much as I would love to make it to the store each weekend for a fresh bouquet of flowers, that doesn\u2019t always happen.\u00a0 Having some great faux options, like my favorite tulips<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, on hand is always nice. \u00a0My other very favorite faux flowers are THESE hydrangeas. \u00a0They come in a variety of spring colors and look almost unbelievably realistic!<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n I also use whatever is blooming around me.\u00a0 Simple fresh greenery from my yard or branches from our trees is a super budget-friendly (yay for free!) way to make arrangements too!<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

_builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Even though I could have grouped this idea with the spring bunnies, I wanted to go into more detail about using old books in dough bowls.<\/p>\n Actually, it is one of my very favorite ways to style a dough bowl. \u00a0I love the juxtaposition of the hard wood and paper pages. \u00a0At the same time, I also love the layered textures.<\/p>\n Mostly, I just love vintage books and am always looking for fun ways to style them for extra vintage charm. \u00a0Old books make great filler, especially for a really large dough bowl. \u00a0Over on THIS post, you can find over 27 more decorating ideas for old, thrifted books.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n For spring, it can be fun to combine some vintage books with bunnies. \u00a0This is a great one to just play around with. \u00a0Depending on the size and shape of your dough bowl, you can come up with a lot of different ways to style it for spring!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_1288_jpg-scaled.jpg” alt=”stone bunny on top of deconstructed books in a

Books #1″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n First, I stacked vintage books in a random pattern around my dough bowl.<\/p>\n Pro Tip: If you don\u2019t have vintage books, hit up your local thrift store and find some cheap paperback books.<\/strong><\/p>\n I look for ones with the older-looking pages. \u00a0Gently tear the covers off and style away! \u00a0Since these books aren\u2019t going to get read anyway, you\u2019re really repurposing and recycling with a fun purpose!<\/p>\n Next, I placed one larger rabbit on top of my stack of deconstructed books.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I love how this particular bunny is laying down<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and it just seemed to fit nicely with the books.<\/p>\n Lastly, for a little extra touch, I snipped a few branches from my yard. \u00a0However, a few stems of faux eucalyptus <\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0THESE favorite, realistic greenery stems<\/strong><\/a><\/span> would be pretty, too. The greenery helps soften it all up a bit!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_1292-scaled.jpg” alt=”stone bunny on top of deconstructed books in a dough bowl as a centerpiece” title_text=”IMG_1292″ url=”https:\/\/amzlink.to\/az0kwf6ipXXGU” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”Table Image” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Vintage books #2″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A fun twist on this styling would be to use a collection of small bunnies and place on top of the books all around your dough bowl.<\/p>\n This would be a fun way to feature a special collection!<\/strong><\/p>\n Placing them on the books helps to elevate the bunny so it can be seen and helps to visually fill the space.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_1291-scaled.jpg” title_text=”IMG_1291″ url=”https:\/\/amzlink.to\/az0kwf6ipXXGU” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”Table Image” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″ alt=”stone bunny on top of deconstructed books in a dough bowl as a centerpiece”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”list of dough bowls” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have a dough bowl, I highly recommend putting one on your wish list for home d\u00e9cor.\u00a0 There are so many great and affordable options out there.<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s new or old, large or small, oval or round, you can have a lot of fun styling up your dough bowl for the spring season!<\/p>\nHow do you decorate a dough bowl?<\/em><\/h3>\n
