Creating a jelly bean Easter arrangement is so easy your guests will be amazed at your floral designing ability! With Easter just around the corner we are all looking for fun ideas to create some festive touches around the house. I have been wanting to try this layered jelly bean Easter arrangement for years. I received some amazing florals from my friends at Petal Driven and decided to give it a try!!
Elegant Candy Centerpieces
What you will need for this jelly bean Easter arrangement:
- Square or round glass vase
- A smaller vase that will fit inside the larger vase (I used a small drinking glass). Make sure there is a gap between the two vases for the jelly beans to fit.
- Glad Press’n Seal
- Scissors
- Jelly beans (4 different colors that compliment your flowers)
- Water (in a pitcher easy to pour)
- Flowers (I used Ranunculus, pastel Tulips, Solidago, Lisianthus, Waxflowers and Hypericum )

Next, place the smaller vase into the center of the larger vase.
Jelly Belly Amazon
Add your jelly beans!! I used Jelly Belly Jewel Valentine Mix Jelly Beans (2 LB) and Jelly Belly Sunkist Lemon. I got both on Amazon Prime. They came within 2 days (see the links below). Make sure you get the jeweled Jelly Bellies, they have a sparkly finish that makes them glitter like a jewel! I separated the Valentine mix into separate bowls.
⬇️ Below are some links to an assorted mix of Jelly Belly jellybeans. You can customize your colors to suit the florals you will be using.
Now we are ready to start layering. I tried to contrast the colors of the Jelly Bellies between bold and light. Starting with the bright pink Jelly Bellies (Very Berry)
Make sure to tap down the Jelly Bellies with each layer to get them all nice and in a tidy line in your vase.
Then, I moved onto the white Jelly Bellies (which is yummy Cream Soda 💗)
Pack down the Jelly Bellies again and smooth out into a nice straight line.
Next, is the Sunkist Lemon Jelly Belly… and at this point, if you are needing a pick me up. It’s a good time for a Jelly Belly snack!!😋
Finally, the light pink Jelly Bellies (Bubble Gum).

Flower Arranging Tips for Beginners
You are now ready to start adding your flowers. I started with tulips and ranunculus. I tried to use a mix of bright and pastel colors that compliment the Jelly Bellies.
Remember to cut all your stems at least 1 – 2 inches at a diagonal to give your stems a good way to take in water. Remove all leaves that will be below the water level to protect from bacteria growth in your water.
You may need to cut the stems shorter depending on where they are going in the arrangement. Eyeball the stem against the arrangement to give you an idea of the length you need. Always start longer, it’s easy to cut more… but once too short you cannot go back.
I am including links to all the florals I used from Petal Driven. To help you create this look.
Aren’t these ranunculus ridiculous

At this point, you are turning your vase looking at all sides to see where there are holes and gaps that need to be filled. I try to mound the ranunculus crisscrossing the stems to keep the blooms where I want them.
Next, Solidago is a field flower bursting with yellow!! It’s a great flower to fill in all the gaps and add softness to your arrangement.

This is another favorite of mine is Lisianthus. This bloom makes my heart sing. It is breathtakingly beautiful with gorgeous blooms that almost look like a cup. The new bud that will bloom extend almost like tendrils…

Next, I added a few stems of Waxflower to add some additional color and fullness.
