Easter is the perfect time to bring a touch of festive charm into your home, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend a fortune on decorations. With a little creativity, you can create DIY Easter decor that’s both beautiful and budget-friendly. Whether you’re planning an Easter lunch, hosting an egg hunt, or simply want to embrace the season, these easy and affordable ideas will have your home looking festive in no time.
1. Egg-citing DIY Easter centrepieces.
Nothing says Easter quite like decorated eggs! Instead of buying expensive store-bought decorations, try making your own:
- Painted eggs: Use food colouring, acrylic paint, or even natural dyes (like beetroot juice or turmeric) to colour hard-boiled eggs.
- Glitter eggs: Apply a thin layer of glue and roll eggs in glitter for a dazzling effect.
- Decoupage eggs: Stick pretty napkin cut-outs onto eggs using a mixture of water and glue for a unique, vintage look.
Display your creations in a woven basket with faux grass or on a cake stand for a budget-friendly Easter centrepiece.
2. Festive Easter wreath.
A DIY wreath adds an instant festive touch to your front door or wall. Create one using materials you already have:
- Wrap a wire or cardboard ring with ribbon, twine, or pastel-coloured fabric scraps.
- Attach artificial flowers, small painted eggs, or even cut-out bunny shapes using glue or a hot glue gun.
- Tie a big bow at the bottom for a final decorative touch.
This DIY Easter decor idea is not only affordable but also fully customisable to suit your home’s aesthetic.
3. Bunny garland from scrap paper.
Transform old magazines, wrapping paper, or coloured paper into a cute bunny garland:
- Cut out bunny shapes using a printable template.
- Punch holes at the top of each bunny and string them together with twine.
- Add cotton wool tails for an extra adorable touch.
Hang the garland across your fireplace, staircase, or dining table for an instant Easter vibe.
4. Mason jar bunny lanterns.
If you have old mason jars lying around, turn them into charming Easter lanterns:
- Paint the jars in pastel colours and draw bunny faces with a marker.
- Place battery-operated tea lights inside to create a warm, festive glow.
- Wrap a ribbon or twine around the top for an extra decorative flair.
5. DIY Easter table setting.
For an Easter feast, make your table extra special with these simple tricks:
- Fold napkins into bunny ears and place them on plates.
- Use mini flower pots or egg cartons as holders for small treats.
- Write guests’ names on painted eggs for personalised place settings.
