45 Quick and Easy Easter Decorations You Can Make Today

Gorgeous Fresh Flower Wreath

This floral spring wreath showcases the beauty of a few bold blooms. Perfect for an Easter brunch, this wreath is made with fresh greenery and assorted seasonal flowers. Make it and hang it on the day of your meal.

3-D Paper Easter Eggs

Cut, fold, and glue cardstock in pastel hues and patterns to make these 3-D egg ornaments. For each ornament, you’ll need 12 uniform paper easter egg shapes in various colors and patterns. Fold each egg in half lengthwise. With the folded edges aligned, glue one egg half to another egg half with a glue stick. Continue gluing egg halves together until all but the last two halves are connected. To create the ornament, cut an 11-inch piece of string and tie the ends to create a loop. Hot glue the knotted end of the loop into the center of the egg shape, then glue the final egg halves together. 

Cracked Easter Eggs

These hanging Easter eggs are the perfect place to display small figurines, trinkets, or ornaments. We found the cracked papier-mâché eggs at the craft store and covered the exteriors in chalk paint. We chose a different color for the interior of each egg. Once the paint dried, we filled them with gold faux grass and foil-covered chocolate eggs. Display the finished decorations on cut branches.

Easter Butterfly Garland

Use a butterfly template (a cookie cutter works well!) to trace uniform butterflies on marbled paper and cardstock. Cut them out and gently fold each butterfly shape in half lengthwise. Cut a piece of cord or twine to the desired garland shape, then hot glue back-to-back paper butterflies every 3-4 inches. 

Easter Bunny Banner

Make a pretty Easter bunny door decoration from a plain piece of canvas fabric. Once you've cut your banner shape, this is as easy as painting on a bunny and adding a bright yarn pom-pom tail. Hop to it.

Spring Tulip Wreath

Make your own gorgeous spring wreath with bunches of small faux tulips. Wrap a wire wreath form with wide ribbon, then tuck bunches of the 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 the cost.Faux flowers can be expensive, so watch for sales and stock up throughout the year, and by spring, you'll be ready to create.

Salt Dough Bunny Ornaments

Use classic salt dough to create a set of colorful bunny napkin rings. A few drops of food coloring gives the ornaments bright swirls of color fitting for a springtime brunch. Not only do they add a festive element to your Easter table, but making and decorating Easter ornaments is also a fun family activity. 

Tulip Carrot Wreath

This carrot-shaped tulip wreath is so pretty, the Easter bunny might eat it right off your front door. The project may look complicated, but you can have it hanging in under an hour. All you have to do is gather small bundles of faux orange tulips and wire them together. Next, layer the bundles in rows to form an upside-down triangle shape and wire each one into place as you go. When you're done, add a few sprigs of faux greenery and a pretty plaid bow.

Easter Centerpiece Tray

You'll have this Easter project ready in a snap. Fill a tray with moss and votive candles. Finish the display with a bunny figure (or a chocolate bunny), candies, and decorated eggs. Easter table decor doesn't get easier than this.

Easter Bunny Dessert Picks

Use a 1-inch circle punch on paper in two tones to make the head for this dapper bunny pick. Freehand two ears and a bow tie, securing all three to the top of a toothpick with glue. When it's time for brunch, add the picks to your favorite Easter cupcakes, breakfast bars, or carrot cake.

Vintage Easter Decor

These Easter eggs are gorgeous—and you won't believe how easy they are to create. Incorporate this vintage look into your spring decor by applying temporary tattoos to already-dyed eggs, then display them with a variety of other colored and patterned eggs.

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 made a rainbow display using a variety of colors and patterns, but you can use monochromatic packs of napkins for a more cohesive look.

Pretty Spring Wreath

Make this sugared citrus fruit wreath that'll last all season long, or, for a stunning piece of Easter decor, use eggs instead of fruit. To make it, use decoupage to cover the eggs in translucent glitter. When they're dry, attach the eggs and some faux greenery to a plain grapevine wreath.

This pretty spring decorating idea is seriously easy—and inexpensive.

Fabric-Wrapped Spring Containers

Welcome spring with pretty pails dressed up to fit spring plants or to serve as your Easter baskets. To determine how much fabric you'll need, wrap it around the container, allowing a bit extra on all the edges, and trim. Cut openings for the handle. For a smooth look, fold all the edges under. Spread decoupage across the pail and attach the trimmed, smoothing as you go. Apply a second coat of decoupage atop the fabric while working your way around the container.

Easter-Inspired Fabric Garland

Carrots with their frilly greens still attached add a dose of spring sunshine to your Easter centerpiece. Pair them with yellow and orange ranunculus and tulips, or other spring flowers. To keep the water clean, wash the carrots thoroughly (but don't peel) before arranging them.

Hanging Easter Egg Decoration

A bundle of pastel Easter eggs works as a festive decoration for your front door. Wrap plastic foam egg shapes with crepe paper, and attach the ends with glue or a small straight pin.

Easter Chick Display

Follow our creative egg and chick idea for a fun Easter decoration. Start by gluing together two yellow pom-poms for the chick. Add a face and feet using felt and fabric paint. Insert the chick into a pre-stretched balloon and blow it up to your desired size. Knot the balloon and spray it with cooking spray. Dip colorful string in white glue, then wrap the coated string around balloon, adding crisscrossing strands as you go (the gaps should be no larger than the chick). Let everything dry, then pop the balloon and remove it.

Yellow Daisy Candleholders

Easter decorations aren't just eggs and bunnies. For this pretty table display, wrap a rubber band around a votive holder and tuck in a bright marguerite bloom, then place it in a small dish with water. March a line of these down the center of a table or place one at each setting.

Framed Paper Easter Bunnies

If you're short of Easter decorating ideas, how about these easy framed bunnies? All you need is 6-inch-square window boxes, fabric, scrapbook paper, and a bunny cookie cutter. Trace the cookie cutter onto various colors of paper, then cut them out. Use adhesive to secure the cutouts to 6-inch squares of patterned fabric, and insert the fabric squares into each window box.

Easter Egg Embroidery Art

Simple embroidery patterns make this colorful Easter egg decoration a breeze. Print a pattern, then put a 12-inch-square piece of thin white fabric over the pattern, and use a pencil to lightly transfer the design. Center the fabric on the inner embroidery hoop, and secure the outer hoop over it. Trim the excess fabric with scissors, and hot-glue it into the interior of the inner hoop. Now you're ready to stitch your egg design. Do the border of the egg first, then follow with the details (this is so you can tie each end to the border). When you've finished stitching, tie a bow to the top of the hoop to conceal the screw and hang.

Easter Branch Bouquet

For a fresh look, hot-glue several pink flowers onto branches. This is a great, long-lasting alternative to a floral spring arrangement.

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

Potted Plant Display

If nothing is blooming outdoors, create a garden view with this improvised window box. On a sill, line up small potted plants or flowering bulbs, then fence them in with wire garden-bed edging, either propped on the sill or stapled to its underside.

Framed Easter Postcard

Turn a simple postcard into seasonally sweet artwork. Look for vintage Easter postcards at flea markets or find reproductions at bookstores. Adhere them to decorative paper, then frame. Attach a ribbon or a string of beads to hang the frames with style.

Tea Time Flower Display

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.

Simple Easter Mantel Display

Cut plant sprigs and place them in vases and bottles for a simple mantel display that you can keep going throughout spring.

Editor's Tip: To create an interesting arrangement, choose vases of various sizes and colors.

Flower Easter Cups

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

Flowers and Vegetables Display

For a textured and festive look, arrange carrots and lettuce leaves around the inside of wide glass vases. Keep the vegetables propped up by placing a smaller vase inside the larger one, and laying the vegetables between them. For a homespun accent, wrap string around the vases.
