This year, bring Easter to life with a vivid display of colorful decorations to inspire your friends and family to appreciate the joys of that special Sunday. It’s no secret that Easter commemorates a rebirth of sorts. Whether your observance is spiritual or secular, there are great ways to incorporate some of the most popular symbols of spring—rabbits and eggs—into your celebration.
Embrace the Bunny
Instead of bringing home a fluffy new pet for Easter, try a more budget-friendly, decorative alternative. This time of year, there are tons of ceramic and metal rabbit figures in search of a good home, like these beauties. You may even have a few sitting out on your lawn right now. Spruce them up for a merry touch to your fireplace mantle or buffet table.
Use pastel ribbon to tie a bow around the figurine’s neck or ears for a springtime makeover. This simple addition can transform any household knickknack into a deliberate Easter decoration without compromising its integrity for the rest of the seasons. Switch out the bows or remove them altogether after the festivities to keep your figurines fresh all year.
Jarred Easter Eggs
Give your Easter eggs extra value by placing them on display throughout your home for the holiday. Fill Apothecary jars of varying heights and sizes with eggs decorated to suit your tastes.
For a more muted look, use pastel spackled eggs or even undyed eggs to add rustic charm to your home. If lively spring hues are more your style, show off bright plastic eggs instead. Add other elements, like burlap bunnies or chicks and decorative moss or plastic grass, for a fresh pop.
Carrot-topped Centerpiece
Bring the rabbit theme to the table by displaying carrots instead of flowers. Gather a large bunch of fresh carrots with the greens attached and place them in a vase. Fill the jar with water and arrange the stems so that they sprout from the top of the vase, rivaling any floral bouquet. You can even set aside a couple of carrots for the Big Bunny himself the night before. We’re sure he’ll take a nibble to delight little ones before they discover their Easter baskets.
An Egg-centric Wreath
Welcome friends and family with a wreath that makes it clear that there will be at least one Easter egg hunt happening at your house come Sunday afternoon. Start by hot gluing a host of plastic eggs onto a foam wreath. Finish the look with a vivid bow and matching ribbon from which to hang your creation.
A Frame for All Seasons
Want no-fuss wall art that can change with the seasons? Cut out a piece of craft or scrapbook paper to fit inside a frame that matches your decor. Update the paper to coordinate with the holidays or use a neutral pattern that can transition into any time of the year. For Easter, add a cutout silhouette of a bunny or chick for a festive flare. It’s a great way to easily change up your decorations without buying new wall art every season.
With so many things to celebrate this spring, you’ll be glad you added these creative ideas for Easter decorations into your arsenal of design tools. You can never go wrong with classic rabbits and eggs during the spring, and you may even be able to extend the life of some of your Easter decoration and repurpose them for use all year long! With a bit of creativity and cheer, your Easter decorations will set the stage for a memorable celebration that you will cherish for years to come.
