Homemade Easter Decor

by Sue Purdy

For my Easter tablescape this year, I added some fun and natural items to my decor. These new elements were super easy to make and didn't cost a penny, since I'm kind of a hoarder of decor and craft items. Lol. In this post, I'll show you the how-to for making your own Easter decor.

The two items I made are the Easter egg tree centrepiece and the moss covered napkin ring holders.

For the napkin ring holders, I started off with two cardboard paper towel holders, a glue stick, some green and brown paint mixed together, and moss ribbon I bought years ago, and didn't know what to do with it until this project. You can buy it at any craft store though.

After the rolls were painted, I cut them the same width as the moss ribbon.

I then used my glue stick liberally on the paper towel rolls, cut the moss ribbon to size, and wrapped it around the rolls. This ended up being pretty messy, so I would recommend taking your project outdoors for this part, since bits of moss flew everywhere while being cut. To hold the moss ribbon in place while the glue dried, I used scotch tape.

Here are the completed napkin rings once the glue had dried. I made eight, since my dining room table doesn't fit any more than eight people.

Moving on to the egg tree, I started with a branch that was cut from a tree that was in my backyard.

I had some foam eggs lying around waiting to be used in a project. To be able to hang them from the branches, I needed something to tie to the branches. So, I took a needle and thread, and poked a hole in the top of the egg, like so.
