45 Quick and Easy Easter Decoration Ideas You Can Make Today

Fresh Flower Wreath

A spring floral wreath showcases the beauty of a few bold blooms. This Easter decoration idea is made with fresh greenery and assorted seasonal flowers. Create this piece and display it when you entertain for the holiday.

3-D Paper Easter Eggs

Cut, fold, and glue cardstock in various hues and patterns for this 3-D Easter decoration idea. For each ornament, you’ll need 12 uniform paper easter egg shapes.

To make:

• Fold each egg in half lengthwise. With the folded edges aligned, glue one egg half to another egg half with a glue stick.
• Continue gluing egg halves together until all but the last two halves are connected.
• To create the ornament, cut an 11-inch piece of string and tie the ends to create a loop. Hot glue the knotted end of the loop into the center of the egg shape, then glue the final egg halves together. 

Cracked Easter Eggs

These hanging eggs are the perfect Easter decoration idea for displaying small figurines, trinkets, or candy. We found the cracked papier-mâché eggs at the craft store and covered the exteriors in chalk paint. We chose a different color for the interior of each egg. Once the paint dried, we filled them with gold faux grass and foil-covered chocolate eggs. Display the finished decorations on cut branches.

Easter Butterfly Garland

Use a butterfly template (a cookie cutter works well!) to trace uniform butterflies on marbled paper and cardstock. Cut them out and gently fold each butterfly shape in half lengthwise. Cut a piece of cord or twine to the desired garland shape, then hot glue back-to-back paper butterflies every 3-4 inches. 

Easter Bunny Banner

This pretty Easter decoration idea starts with a plain piece of canvas fabric. Once you've cut your banner shape, just paint on a bunny and add a bright yarn pom-pom tail. Hop to it!

Spring Tulip Wreath

Make a gorgeous spring wreath with bunches of small faux tulips. We made ours on an 18-inch wreath form, but you can use a smaller wreath to cut costs. Faux flowers can be expensive, so watch for sales and stock up throughout the year, and by spring, you'll be ready to create this Easter decoration idea when the holiday is near.

Salt Dough Bunny Ornaments

Use classic salt dough to create a set of colorful bunny napkin rings. A few drops of food coloring give the ornaments bright swirls of color fitting for a springtime brunch. Not only do they add a festive element to your Easter table, but making and decorating Easter ornaments is also a fun family activity. 

Tulip Carrot Wreath

Easter Centerpiece Tray

You'll have this Easter project ready in a snap. Fill a tray with moss and votive candles. Finish the display with a bunny figure (or a chocolate bunny), candies, and decorated eggs. Easter decoration ideas don't get easier than this.

Easter Bunny Dessert Picks

Use a 1-inch circle punch on paper in two tones to make the head for this dapper bunny pick. Freehand two ears and a bow tie, securing all three to the top of a toothpick with glue. When it's time for brunch, add the picks to your favorite Easter cupcakes, breakfast bars, or carrot cake.

We made a rainbow display using a variety of colors and patterns, but you can use monochromatic packs of napkins for a more cohesive look.

Pretty Spring Wreath

• Apply a second coat of decoupage atop the fabric while working your way around the container.

Framed Paper Easter Bunnies

If you're short of Easter decoration ideas, how about these framed bunnies? All you need for this easy craft is 6-inch-square shadow boxes, fabric, scrapbook paper, and a bunny cookie cutter. Trace the cookie cutter onto various paper colors, then cut them out. Use adhesive to secure the cutouts to 6-inch squares of patterned fabric, and insert the fabric squares into each window box.

Simple embroidery patterns make this colorful Easter decoration idea a breeze.

• Print a pattern, then put a 12-inch-square piece of thin white fabric over the pattern and use a pencil to lightly transfer the design.

• Trim the excess fabric with scissors, and hot-glue it into the interior of the inner hoop.
• Now, you're ready to stitch your egg design. Do the border of the egg first, then follow with the details (this is so you can tie each end to the border).
