This modern, minimal, and chic fresh flower wreath is the perfect way to display some of your favorite springtime blooms. Because this wreath is made using florists wire, you can decide the size of your wreath form; it can be big enough to wow on a front door, or small enough to make multiple matching Easter window decorations. Bold blooms we love for this wreath: peonies, hydrangeas, and roses.

Colorful Egg Easter Wreath

Colored Easter Egg wreath

Outdoor Easter decorations can be super easy to DIY! Using an awl, poke a small hole at each end of 12 plastic eggs. Cut ½ x 3-inch strips of patterned paper. Brush decoupage medium onto the back of a paper strip and apply to an egg, smoothing 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. String the eggs onto a 16-gauge wire, allowing an extra inch of wire at each end. Wrap one end around the other to form a wreath shape; cover wire ends with a pretty pastel ribbon and hang.

Jelly Bean Monogram

Easter Decoration

Add a touch of sweetness to your outdoor Easter decor! Instead of a wreath, hang a fun jelly bean monogram on your front door for spring. Paint a papier-mache letter (available at crafts stores) using acrylic paint. 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 of the letter to create a hanging loop, and hang on your front door. Try hanging in a large window for a cute Easter window decoration.

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.

Hanging Easter Egg Decorations

Easter-egg decoration

A cluster of pastel Easter eggs works as a festive decoration for your front door. Wrap plastic foam egg shapes ($5, Joann) with crepe paper, and secure the ends with glue or a small straight pin. Add 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 with a pretty bow, then hang the decoration from a removable adhesive hook or wreath hanger.

Springtime Door Decoration

Springtime Door Decoration

Here's a fresh take on your classic Easter wreath. Gather a bouquet of flowers—real or silk—into an umbrella for a door display full of country charm. Tie a ribbon around the umbrella to hold the bouquet in place, and add a few dyed eggshells for extra Easter fun.

Editor's Tip: If using real flowers, create a simple vase with water in a resealable plastic bag. Secure at the base of the flower stems using a rubber band.

Easter Egg Window Decorations

Easter DIY

Transform your mundane coffee filters into colorful Easter window decorations. Start by ironing the coffee filters flat and laying them on a covered surface (plastic, dollar store tablecloths will do the trick). Prepare a few bowls of watercolor paints by diluting different colors until the paint is a thin liquid. Have the kids fold the coffee filters and dip the corners into the paint bowls to get a kaleidoscope effect that can be enjoyed from inside or outside of your home.
