DIY Easter: Add a personal touch to your celebrations

Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a novice, here are some simple and affordable ideas for making your own Easter décor

Decorative Easter Eggs

Easter eggs are a quintessential symbol of the holiday, and decorating them can be a fun and rewarding activity for the whole family.

Start by blowing out real eggs or purchasing plastic ones from a craft store.

Then, let your imagination run wild as you paint them in vibrant colors, add glitter and sequins, or even decoupage them with pretty paper or fabric. You can also experiment with techniques like marbling or using natural dyes for a unique and stylish look.

Easter Wreaths

Wreaths are a versatile and eye-catching addition to any Easter décor scheme. Create your own by using a grapevine or foam wreath base and adorning it with artificial flowers, greenery, and Easter-themed embellishments such as miniature eggs, bunnies, or chicks.

Alternatively, you can craft a wreath using materials found in nature, such as twigs, branches, and fresh flowers for a rustic and organic feel.

Bunny Banners and Garlands

Add a playful touch to your Easter décor with homemade bunny banners and garlands. Cut out bunny shapes from colored cardstock or felt and string them together to create a whimsical garland that can be hung across mantels, windows, or doorways.

You can also personalise your banner with messages like “Happy Easter” or “Springtime Joy” using stencils or letter stickers.

For added flair, incorporate other Easterthemed shapes like eggs, carrots, or flowers into your design.

Floral Centerpieces

Fresh flowers are a simple yet elegant way to bring the beauty of spring into your home.

Create stunning floral centerpieces for your Easter table by arranging seasonal blooms in decorative vases or containers. Incorporate Easter elements like eggs, nests, or bunny figurines into your arrangement for a festive touch.

Alternatively, you can craft your own floral centerpiece using silk flowers or paper blooms that will last throughout the season.

Eggshell Planters

Give new life to empty eggshells by turning them into adorable planters for tiny succulents or herbs.

Carefully crack open the top of a raw egg, empty out the contents, and rinse the shell thoroughly.

Fill the shell with soil and plant a small seedling or cutting, then place it in an egg carton or on a decorative tray for display.

These charming eggshell planters make delightful Easter decorations and can also double as party favors for guests to take home.
