Easter Basket Door Decoration
This bright Easter basket full of blooms is ready to welcome spring. Choose a basket with a flat side that complements your door, and wire faux twigs and vines to it to form the handle. Stick lightweight glasses on both sides of the basket to hold tulips, and tuck in wheatgrass to secure the glasses. Hot-glue painted eggshells and feathers to the grass. Apply letter stickers to plastic eggs, spray with pearlescent paint, and let dry. Remove the stickers. Hot-glue the eggs to a wide ribbon, and hot-glue the ribbon to the basket.
Editor's Tip: To care for your door decoration, keep the tulip water fresh and periodically mist the grass.
Yarn-Wrapped Spring Color Wreath
Accent a spring door with this easy-to-make wreath made from various colors of yarn. Take a foam wreath form and mark on the front where you want to change up colors. Then take multiple colors of worsted-weight yarn and start wrapping -- that's all there is to it! Hot-glue the yarn end to the wreath, and wrap the yarn tightly so the wreath form doesn't show through. When you finish a color, hot-glue the yarn end to the wreath and repeat the last steps with a different color.
When you're finished wrapping, hot-glue spring elements such as faux flowers to your wreath for accents. Add a ribbon and hang.
Paper Butterfly Wreath
Pretty paper butterflies accent a standard twig wreath for springtime appeal. To make the butterflies, fold various patterns of scrapbook paper (or other sturdy-weight paper) in half lengthwise. With the fold facing you, draw the top half of a heart shape (let the point of the heart fall off the fold). Cut out the shape, leaving the fold intact, and unfold. To make the antennae, tie a piece of twine or a neutral-color chenille stem around the fold in the paper. Experiment with different colors and sizes of paper, adding as many butterflies to the wreath as you'd like. Secure the butterflies to the wreath with hot glue.
Spring Flower Basket Decoration
A bright blue wicker basket filled with white tulips is a welcome sign of spring that will complement any door. Choose a basket with a flat side so it will lay flat against your door, then fill with white tulips (in lightweight cups of water), grass, and a tiny birds nest filled with cracked eggshells. For a final touch, add a band of ribbon around the bottom of the basket. Tie a pretty bow in front and on top of the handle (crafted from faux pussy willows wired to the basket) to hang.
Jelly Bean Front Door Monogram
Instead of a wreath, hang a fun monogram on your front door for spring. Paint a papier-mache letter (available at crafts stores) using acrylic paint in a pretty spring color , such as the soft purple shown here. For a single-color decoration, match the paint color to the jelly beans; if you want a multicolor decoration, mix pastel jelly beans and a single color of paint for the letter. Once the paint is dry, hot-glue the jelly beans to the front of the letter and let dry. Hot-glue a ribbon to the back to create a hanging loop, and attach it to your front door.
Editor's Tip: To protect the candy and make the decoration last year after year, spray it with a clear-coat finish and let dry before hanging.
Colored Easter Egg Wreath
This easy-to-make Easter wreath adds a pop of pretty pastel color to your front door. Using an awl, poke a small hole in each end of 12 plastic eggs. Cut 1/2x3-inch strips of patterned paper, cutting small slits along the edges to reduce wrinkling.
Brush decoupage medium onto the back of one paper strip and apply to an egg, pressing out the excess glue and air bubbles; repeat until egg is covered. After all of the eggs are covered, brush two thin coats of decoupage medium over the eggs, letting them dry in between coats; let dry. String the eggs onto a 16-gauge wire, allowing an extra inch at each end. Wrap one end around the other to form a wreath shape; cover wire ends with a pretty pastel ribbon and hang.
Flowery Spring Wreath
A simple moss-covered wreath form is dressed up for spring with a few redtwig dogwood stems, green ornament balls, and pink flowers.
Editor's Tip: If you're using fresh flowers, tuck them into floral vials so they'll last longer, and hide the vials in the moss.
Spring Watering Can with Flowers
Filling a rustic watering can with pink tulips, greenery, and pastel blue eggshells is the perfect decoration for spring. Stuff the watering can with floral foam to secure the stems. Add picks to blown-out eggshells to secure them as well. When you're finished creating the arrangement, wire it to your front door and cover the wire with ribbon.
Editor's Tip: To keep flowers fresh, put the stems in water vials or heavy plastic bags filled with floral foam powder, available at floral supply stores.
Easter Door Umbrella Decoration
A bouquet of pink tulips, along with greenery and dyed eggshells filled with daffodils, tuck neatly into an umbrella for a unique Easter door decoration. To make, tie a pretty pink ribbon halfway up a closed umbrella to create a makeshift vase for your arrangement. Create pockets between front ribs and tuck in tissue paper to support a crafts-store bird's nest, blown-out dyed Easter eggs, fresh flowers, and greenery such as ferns and moss. When you're finished, wire the arrangement to a hook to hang on your front door.
Editor's Tip: To keep flowers fresh, put the stems in water vials or heavy plastic bags filled with floral foam powder, available at floral supply stores.

Add yellow ribbon, secured with small straight pins, and leave a long end for tying. Gather the eggs at various lengths and tie the ribbons together. Finish it off with a pretty bow, and hang the decoration from a removable adhesive hook or wreath hanger.
Easy Flower Bouquets in Glass Bottles
Perfect for a garden trellis or front door, small bouquets of spring flowers tucked into clear glass bottles make a natural statement. Fill recycled glass bottles with your favorite flowers, mixing up the colors for a pretty spring decoration.

Attach a strip of removable interlocking adhesive to the door and the bottle so the glass won't knock against the door every time it's opened.
