[SK] Spring inspiration: 3 creative Easter decoration ideas

Easter is a time of joy, creation and sharing love with family. In this article, we bring you 3 simple and fun tips for Easter decorations that you can easily create with your children as a spring decoration for your house or as a gift for your loved ones.

1. Happy Easter eggs made of crepe

This decoration is perfect for children, but adults will also have a lot of fun with it. You’ll make colourful, vibrant eggs that are great as table decorations or as part of a larger Easter decoration.

What you’ll need:

• A white plastic or wooden egg (or use eggshells)
• Crepe paper in different colours
• Glue (ideally hot melt)
• Scissors

Procedure:

1. Preparing the crepe paper – Cut the crepe paper into small squares or strips.
2. Making eggs – Using hot glue, start gluing small pieces of crepe paper to the egg one at a time. You can create different patterns or simply wrap the entire egg with the colored pieces.
3. Decorate the eggs – If you like, add details like feathers, little bows or gold paint to give the eggs an elegant look.

Tip: You can hang these crepe eggs on a twig in a vase or spread them around the table as part of an Easter arrangement.

2. An Easter wreath for the door made of natural materials

If you like natural decorations, this wreath will be perfect for you. You can create it with natural materials that you can easily find outdoors, and it will make an original and stylish decoration for the Easter holidays.

What you’ll need:

• Wreath base (ring of wool, wicker or cardboard)
• Natural twigs, mosses, flowers, pine cones, dried grasses
• Easter motifs (e.g. mini eggs, small bunny, feathers)
• Glue on natural materials
• Ribbons or raffia

Procedure:

1. Create the base of the wreath – If you have a cardboard base, wrap twigs or raffia around it. You can add flowers or grasses to the natural base to bring a spring feel.
2. Decorating the wreath – Attach small Easter motifs such as mini eggs, dried flowers or bunnies to the wreath. Use colourful ribbons or bows to brighten it up.
3. Hanging the wreath – Hang the wreath on a door or window. If you have windows on your balcony, the wreath will be beautifully visible from the outside as well.

Tip: Use natural colours and materials to make the wreath look as natural as possible, or conversely pastel colours for a soft spring look.

3. Spring flowers in decorative paper pots

This decoration is perfect for those who like to decorate their home with flowers but don’t like the hassle of watering them. Artificial flowers made of decorative paper are permanent and will bring a fresh spring atmosphere to the interior.

What you’ll need:

• Decorative paper (preferably colored or with floral patterns)
• Small flower pots
• Wooden sticks (or wire to make stems)
• Scissors and glue
• Small plastic flowers or seeds to decorate the pots

Procedure:

1. Making the flowers – Trace the flower petals out of the decorative paper. Make different shapes of flowers, for example tulips or daffodils. Then attach them to wooden sticks or wires.
2. Decorate the pots – Wrap the pots with paper and decorate with ribbon or floral designs. Add decorative pebbles or artificial flowers to the pots to hold everything together.
3. Create a spring atmosphere – You can place these flowers on a table or window sill to create a spring mood throughout your interior.

Whether you’re creating decorations for your home or you decide to gift your loved ones, these three ideas will help you bring in the Easter spirit.
