How to Decorate for Easter. Easter is a time of rebirth and awakening. Play up the season's
pastel hues and the natural inspirations of spring with these Easter decorating ideas.
You will need Eggs Straight pin Scissors Wire Silk flowers Crepe paper *** willows Vase
Spring flowers Floral foam Baskets Mini trees Pastel tablecloths or napkins Glasses Egg
cups Ribbon (optional) and skewer (optional). Step 1. Welcome visitors with an eggshell
wreath. Hollow out dyed or natural brown eggs by piercing one end of a raw egg with a straight
pin, then pricking the other end and blowing out the egg yolk. Use scissors to cut the
wire and form a loop. Thread the eggs onto the wire and adorn with silk flowers or crepe
paper as desired. Fasten to the door with a looped piece of wire. Create a simple eggshell
garland by threading hollowed-out eggs onto a ribbon. Tape one end of the ribbon onto
a skewer, then string the eggs, remove the skewer and tie a knot to hold eggs in place.
Step 2. Cut branches of *** willows and arrange the stems in a pastel or Easter-themed
vase. Or cut daffodils, roses, or any spring flower and place them into floral foam in
baskets throughout the house to add bursts of spring color. Step 3. Hang miniature eggs,
which can be found in craft or retail stores, onto miniature trees or along *** willow
branches. Step 4. Create a festive table. Mix and match your fine china or stoneware
and add colorful linens. Add a playful touch by filling martini glasses with miniature
candy eggs and centering on plates. Or, place name cards atop martini glasses or inside
egg cups for instant Easter cheer. Step 5. Place Easter eggs of the same color, but with
varying textures and finishes, into a similarly-colored basket for a traditional centerpiece with
a modern twist. Then add some embellishments with grasses or flowers. Extend the monochromatic
look with linens and dinnerware and add crystal glasses for a shimmery, dreamy tablescape.
Did you know Gold-embellished Faberge eggs were first commissioned by Russian Czar Alexander
III in 1885 as an Easter gift for his wife.
