Super-Simple Easter Decorations

Form a flowerlike favor by nesting a mini paper baking cup inside a standard-size one. Perch both on an egg cup and fill with an Easter treat. For a place card, prop a tag between the liners.

Pastel colors, artificial grass, and a few pieces of Easter candy give this place setting a fresh spring touch. A cute pink egg serves as an edible place card while a fun napkin tidies up the look.

Decorative take-out boxes (available at craft stores) serve as the bases of these floral decorations. Yellow tulips and simple white flowers come together in the easy-yet-elegant Easter display. Bluebird salt and pepper shakers make this table even more picturesque.

Trim and bundle pink roses to fit inside a tall glass dish. The result? A gorgeous-yet-simple floral centerpiece for Easter. Wrap a purple ribbon around the base of the glass for an elegant final touch.

Editor's Tip: Use double-sided tape to adhere the ribbon.

Welcome spring by bringing nature inside. Gather flowers and place in small raised dishes, then add Easter accents, such as decorated eggs and festive candy. Liven up the scene by hot-gluing delicate butterflies to branches placed around the dishes.

Hot-glue several pink flowers onto branches for a fresh alternative to an Easter bouquet. This is a great, longer-lasting alternative to a floral spring arrangement -- or a complementary piece!

Editor's Tip: To secure the vase -- and to make it more festive -- fill with glass pebbles, decorated eggs, or Easter candy (just don't plan on eating it!).

Red tulips and white roses are awe-inspiring inside a stacked cup and kettle. Using two different colors adds interest, while the matching green dishes keep the display cohesive.

Make your favorite cake the belle of the Easter ball by turning it into the centerpiece of an adorable display. Use your favorite Easter pieces -- like a ceramic rabbit -- to let your guests know that spring has arrived.

Not just for star-spangled holidays, a red-and-blue color combo can herald in spring. A red dyed egg patiently sits in an egg holder, while a simple red tulip relaxes around the coordinated setting.

Editor's Tip: In lieu of a place card, a monogrammed hard-boiled egg serves a dual purpose -- to mark the spot and to eat.

Welcome your nonfeathered friends with a base of branches and speckled fake eggs. Tuck an assortment of realistic looking eggs in a natural bowl, lay on a small twig wreath, and see what hatches.

Carrots and lettuce arranged around the inside of the wide vases create a unique look. Wrap string around the vases for a homespun accent. Place a decorative bird or bunny nearby to give the display an Easter touch.

These planters add a lively Easter touch to any home. The green, yellow, and purple floral accents mimic the colorful pots -- a wonderfully festive touch.

Editor's Tip: Tie a decorative ribbon around the planters or nestle decorated eggs in the plants for added Easter flair.

Paper Easter baskets decorated with ribbon and filled with eggs are a fun craft everyone in the family can enjoy. Fill baskets with Easter grass to cushion the decorated eggs.

Place a rubber band around a votive holder and tuck in a bright marguerite daisy, then place in a small dish with water. March a line of these down the center of a table or place one at each setting for a fresh Easter decoration.

Showcase spring-fresh treasures under glass by using a clear glass cloche elevated on a footed cake plate. Silver-tone accents go with blue-violet blooms, a vintage photo, and paper ducklings. Varying the height and scale of the objects adds interest.

Inexpensive, quick, and with a low profile -- this might just be the perfect decoration. Start with about two dozen hollowed-out, dyed eggs. Tape one end of a narrow ribbon to a wooden skewer; tie a knot in the other end. String the eggs onto the ribbon, untape the skewer, and tie a knot to secure the eggs.

Almost any type of candleholder can be transformed into an Easter tree. Consider setting beautifully colored eggs on a silver candelabrum, brass candlesticks, or even inside little votive cups. Use tacky wax to secure eggs if necessary.

Fold a napkin into quarters and pinch the center to form a point. Insert the pointed end into a glass. Slip a daffodil stem into a florist's tube inside the napkin; pull the corners down to resemble leaves.

A framed mirror crisscrossed with strips of ribbon doubles as a memory board. Use double-stick tape to adhere ribbons to the front of the mirror in a diamond shape, pulling them tight enough to hold Easter cards and greetings securely. Tape contrasting ribbon around the mirror edges.

Velvety leaves of lamb's-ear are hot-glued to a plastic-foam wreath to create this pretty look. Be sure to cover the sides as well as the top to hide the entire foam ring. Hot-glue silk flowers to the leaves for colorful accents. We used fresh leaves, but artificial ones would work, too. Hang the wreath from a ribbon or set flat on a dining table for a centerpiece.

Fill tiny wire baskets with sphagnum moss or Easter grass, then add a handful of wrapped candies. Tie a big bow made from silk wire-edge ribbon around the basket, then attach the basket to a chair back with twine, tying it tight so it doesn't sag.

Grace your Easter table with an incredibly easy table topper: hard-boiled brown and white eggs displayed on a bed of garden lettuce or cabbage leaves nestled in a footed china compote.

Bring spring blooms tableside with a mini bouquet at every place setting. Cut 1/2 inch from the top of a lemon; use a sharp paring knife to cut out the inside flesh. Place a small saltcellar or bottle cap filled with water inside the lemon. Tie stems of hydrangea and delphinium together with twine and place in the water. Perch the arrangement in an egg cup or cordial glass.

Celebrate Easter and spring simultaneously with this pretty table topper. Simply purchase a faux bird's nest online or at a crafts store (or build your own), and fill it with plastic eggs for a quick centerpiece.
