Welcome Easter with these 3 egg-cellent DIYs to decorate your table! These spring-themed ideas will help you get set for the big celebration. Even better, they’re a lot of fun and easy to do!
1. Carrot Bouquet & Bunny-Eared Napkins
Need an Easter centerpiece that really pops? Your guests will adore this bright orange accent (and are sure to ask you all about it) this Easter season. First step, pick a vessel that’s clear and not easily tipped over (remember, it has to hold weight). We recommend the Tuscany Classics carafe for its versatility; use it to pour drinks or in this case, serve as Spring table decor. Next, introduce whole carrots inside the vessel. Make sure they’re free of any bumps or blemishes, but with their leafy stems still attached. Finally, add a bouquet of bold orange flowers, we used ranunculus. It’s a genius way to give your table a unique element that goes with any Easter tradition.
Plus, make the whole scene say Easter just a little bit louder with easy-to-fold bunny-eared napkins. All you need are pretty linens and a bit of twine to create this DIY Easter decoration. It works well with hollowed-out or hard-boiled eggs. (Or, wrapped chocolate eggs if you find the right size.) Simply wrap your napkin around the egg, ensuring it ends in two ear-like tips, then secure with twine tied into a bow.
How to Hollow Out Eggs for Easter Decoration
Hollowing out eggs is a simple yet effective technique that opens up endless possibilities for creating beautiful DIY Easter decorations. Whether you’re making delicate egg vases or creating unique Easter ornaments, hollowed-out eggs add a charming touch to your Easter table decor and make your Easter celebration even more special.
-
Gather Your Supplies: You’ll need fresh eggs, a small needle or pin, a bowl, and a straw or small skewer. These simple tools make it easy to transform plain eggs into stunning Easter decorations.
-
Create Small Holes: Gently poke a small hole in both the top and bottom of the egg using a needle or pin. Make the bottom hole slightly larger to allow the contents to flow out—perfect for crafting Easter egg ornaments or lightweight decor.
-
Break Up the Yolk: Insert a skewer or the needle into the egg to break up the yolk, which will make the egg easier to empty. This step is essential for creating a smooth, clean egg shell for your Easter craft.
-
Blow Out the Egg: Hold the egg over a bowl and blow through the smaller top hole, forcing the contents out of the bottom hole. You can use a straw for more control, making this an easy Easter craft for all ages.
-
Rinse and Dry: Once the egg is empty, rinse it thoroughly with water and let it dry completely before decorating.
These hollowed-out Easter eggs can be used in a variety of DIY Easter crafts—from adorning a carrot bouquet centerpiece to adding a whimsical touch to your Easter bunny-themed decor.
2. "Nested" Place Settings
Easter is a wonderful occasion to invite the great outdoors to your table decor. So, whether its faux or freshly foraged, gather everything mossy and green to brighten up a table runner. For added Easter flair, dot the display with quail eggs and bouquets of bright yellow daffodils, white hyacinths, or a combination of both as we’ve used. As a finishing touch and to tie the rustic vibe of the table together, we added nests to each French Perle Scallop place setting. It’s springtime perfection!
How to Make DIY Nests for Your Easter Table
Creating your own DIY nests is a simple and charming way to elevate your Easter table decor. To craft these rustic nests, gather natural materials like twigs, moss, burlap ribbon, and a bit of craft wire. Start by forming a small ring with the twigs, securing the shape with wire. Then, weave in moss and greenery to create a soft, natural bed. You can also add a touch of whimsy by incorporating Easter decor elements like faux flowers.. These homemade nests are perfect for adding a woodland-inspired touch to your “Nested” Place Settings this Easter season.
3. Pressed Nature Easter Eggs
Elevate the Easter egg with this ingenious idea that’s the prettiest tribute to spring. All you need are boiled eggs, pressed flowers, and a little glue (we used a glue stick). Collect your materials from the craft store or your personal crafting cabinet, arrange the petals and foliage how you would like them on each egg, and adhere them with a light swipe of glue. It’s surprisingly easy to do, and each egg looks like a little work of art. We love how these look with Federal Gold dinnerware and Imperial Caviar flatware. It’s a beautiful way to refresh the Easter table!
Create Beautiful Decorative Easter Eggs with Real Flowers and Mod Podge
Transform ordinary Easter eggs into beautiful works of art with this easy and fun Easter craft. These DIY Easter decorations are perfect for adding a natural and elegant touch to your Easter table or even as decorative pieces for an Easter egg tree. All you need are hard-boiled or plastic eggs, real flowers and leaves, and trusty Mod Podge to bring this project to life.
To start, select small, delicate flowers—like baby's breath, tiny daisies, or pressed petals—and fresh green leaves. You can either forage them yourself or find pre-pressed flowers at your local craft store. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the surface of the egg and gently press the flowers and leaves onto it. Seal your design with another light coat of Mod Podge to create a glossy, durable finish. These painted eggs add a soft, vintage vibe to your Easter decor and work beautifully as part of your Easter centerpiece or even as Spring home decor.
