  1. Slowly pour the jelly beans into the larger vase. You may want to cover the smaller, water-filled vase with your hand to keep the jelly beans from falling in. Once your jelly beans are evenly distributed, place your marshmallow bunnies on top.

Tips for decorating with daisies

While both beautiful, daisies and Gerbera daisies are vastly different in form. Most common daisies have a regular, wood-like stem, whereas gerbera daisies have a hollow stem. Gerbera stems do not need to be cut often to keep them at their prime, and they do significantly better in water than floral foam, as the foam tends to clog up the stem.

Fun fact: One of the most popular varieties of daisy is the Marguerite daisy. Hence, the Spanish word for “daisy” is “margarita”!
