Fill a flat-backed hanging basket with faux stems for the front door: filler, tall stems at the back, trailing greenery in front, a few eggs on picks, a bow and a hanging loop that holds.
Sew small stuffed felt eggs with simple bands and dots, a stitched edge and a ribbon loop, or make a glued no-sew version. Plus five ways to use them on trees, gifts, baskets and wreaths.
Build a tabletop Easter tree from cut or faux branches: pick twiggy stems, weight the vase with pebbles, add hanging loops to blown, paper and felt eggs, and space them by weight.
A light, modern wreath built on a wooden embroidery hoop: wire a small bundle of greenery and blossoms to the lower third, add one accent and long ribbon tails, then group several hoops on a wall.
Simple ways to present small spring gifts: plain paper with one accent color, paper bands and sprigs, cardstock tags in egg and bunny shapes, knotted fabric wraps and ribbon alternatives.
Make a no-sew runner two ways: a frayed-edge linen or cotton strip sized to your table, and a kraft paper runner stamped with sponge-cut egg shapes. Includes a simple measuring formula.
Paint unfinished wooden eggs with acrylic craft paint: light sanding, a base coat on a skewer, a taped half-dipped line, dots, stripes and leaf sprigs, then a matte sealing coat. Decorative only.
Arrange faux tulips, daffodils, ranunculus and branches so they look natural: pick the vessel, tape a grid, add greenery first, place focal flowers in odd numbers, then bend and trim the stems.
A no-sew fabric pennant banner: cut triangles or swallowtail flags from a template, add egg, bunny and tulip shapes in felt or stenciled paint, then fold and glue the tops over twine.
Style a mantel or shelf with handmade Easter pieces: an off-center anchor, three heights, a garland swag, groups of three and one repeated color, plus three complete example arrangements.
Make a light wreath of layered cardstock blossoms on a flat ring: three sizes of five-petal flowers, curled petals, paper centers and creased leaves, with advice on where paper can hang.
Build one Easter place setting in layers, then repeat it: a bunny-ear napkin fold tied around a craft egg, a flat pocket fold, egg-shaped name cards and one small finishing detail per guest.
