FAQs

What decorations do you put up after Easter? ›

When Easter is over and it's not time to decorate for summer, think about lightening up your decor and textiles. Take down all overtly Eastery items but keep using flowers such as tulips and blooming branches until you are ready to decorate for summer.

Wood Bead Bunnies

A fluffle of bunny ornaments sports neon-bright felt ears and fabric trim collars. To make them, thread twine through a trio of wood beads, using the smallest one for the bunny tail. Add felt ears and accessories, then hang your creations on a festive Easter tree.

Change greenery from winter greens to lighter greenery and plants. Incorporate a few florals or live plants, whether fresh greenery or fresh flowers. Add a pop of color with thrifted art or home decor accessories. Use lighter fabrics and lighten the textures and layers around your home.

How do you make a simple Easter basket? ›

Start with a chocolate Easter bunny, then add the recipients favorite candy, a few small toys, or even inexpensive jewelry. For older kids we love to fill a few eggs with money (think small bills!), drop in a few $5 gift cards (especially if it's a teenage easter basket), or even some sample-size toiletries.

Arrange a selection of decorations on a table for the perfect Easter display. Add a pop of colour with eggs decorated with acrylic paint, pretty painted flowers and pastel coloured milk bottles... not forgetting the beautiful grass-effect bunny.

Easter Egg Tree

The German tradition of decorating trees for Easter dates back centuries. To make this version, fill a tea tin with floral foam and insert blooming branches (here, dogwood). Hang dyed blown or painted wooden eggs using a length of ribbon looped around the egg and held in place with a wooden craft bead.

The three main Easter colors are purple, white and gold. Purple and violet hues are typically used during the Lenten season in the lead-up to Easter. Easter Sunday's most prominent colors are usually white and gold to represent the holiness and triumph of the resurrection of Jesus.
