Without losing sight of the true religious meaning of the holiday, I’ve also found some creative ideas to brighten things up a bit for Easter. I love incorporating the array of pastel colors, lots of flowers, and who could forget the candy?
Candy Easter Basket by the Krazy Coupon Lady
My kids will love this idea. This is an Easter basket made entirely from candy. What an original and fun project! Make one as a centerpiece or for special delivery on Easter morning. Try Five Below for the best selection of candy at a great price.
Salt Dough Egg Ornaments by Design Mom
When I saw these, they reminded me of making salt dough holiday ornaments with my mom as a young girl. This is a crafty and colorful project that even the smallest hands could help with. I really enjoyed reading through Design Mom’s blog. She has a bunch of other cute Easter ideas so be sure to take a look.
Spring Floral Bouquet from Midwest Living
Fresh flowers are the best way to bring spring directly into your home. If you live near a Trader Joe’s, they have the best deals by far on flowers in my opinion. I love the mixture of flowers and eggs here, and you could vary the color scheme as you see fit.
Mason Jar Bunny from Dixie Delights
No Easter is complete without a large chocolate bunny. How about putting one on display, sealed away from little hands?
Easter Egg Cake by Ren Behan
Let them eat cake! Turn a simple frosted cake into this decadent creation in no time flat. I’ll let you read the directions before revealing how many packs of eggs you will need. Can you say sugar high?
Classic Tulip Display
Turn a simple bouquet of tulips into an elegant statement. Find an old bucket to distress, or look for something like this at Michael’s. Fill with two dozen tulips.
Glitter Eggs from Craftaholics Anonymous
Glitter eggs make a vibrant display! Kick your egg decorating up a notch by making some of these beauties.
Ice Cream Easter Favors from My list of lists
.Are you having kids over for Easter? Send them each home with one of these adorable favors. Or, make a centerpiece display with them. They are easy to make and would also make a cute spring birthday favor.
Happy Easter!
