Spring Tulip Wreath

Make your own gorgeous spring wreath with bunches of faux tulips. Wrap a wire wreath form with wide ribbon, then tuck bunches of small faux tulips into the ribbon folds. We made ours on an 18-inch wreath form, but you can use a smaller wreath to cut down on costs. Faux flowers can be expensive, so watch for sales and stock up on tulip bundles throughout the year so you’ll be ready to create this outdoor Easter decoration in the spring.

Cracked Easter Eggs

These hanging Easter eggs are the perfect place to display small figurines, trinkets, or holiday ornaments. We found the cracked paper mache eggs at the craft store and painted them with chalk paint. We chose different colors for the inside and outside of each egg, then filled the eggs with faux gold grass and foil-covered chocolate eggs once the paint dried. Display the finished Easter egg decorations on cut branches.

Plastic Easter Egg Wreath

If you have old plastic eggs bouncing around your holiday decor bins, put them to good use. Use patterned napkins and decoupage to transform ordinary plastic eggs into a colorful Easter door decoration. We used a variety of colors and patterns for a rainbow display, but you can use monochromatic packs of napkins for a more cohesive look.
