Decorating your home for Easter is a very important and interesting part of the pre-holiday fuss.
Among other things, Easter is a real spring holiday and I really want to decorate my house with warm, joyful and bright themed decor by this day.
The traditions of Easter decorations here and in Europe are almost the same. Perhaps the only differences are the easter bunny in the west, and we have our traditional pysanky.
Easter table decor
Easter trees
So for home decorations for easter the most commonly used decoration is associated with the three Easter symbols. But not only. So, for example, one of the most popular Easter decors is wicker basket .
Why a basket? Because eggs are traditionally laid in it. You can buy a few simple inexpensive baskets, decorate them with colorful ribbons and flowers. Fill with artificial grass and colored eggs. Arrange these baskets around the house and enjoy the comfort and spring mood.
Wreaths, nests, Easter trees. Birds make nests from dry twigs and blades of grass. The same items, as well as flowers, ribbons, artificial multi-colored eggs and some other elements are used to Easter decor , making wreaths on the door, decorative installations and Easter trees .
The Easter tree is one of the most beautiful Easter home decors. Making such a tree is easy: you can take a few branches and insert them into a pot filled with wet sand or small pebbles. To keep the branches firmly, you can lay a layer of plasticine on the bottom of the pot and fix the ends of the branches on it. The branches themselves are decorated with colorful ribbons, plastic eggs, small nests with chicks, etc.
Easter decor bird theme. Since we are talking about nests and trees, it is worth mentioning the birds themselves. It is also one of the most popular Easter decors . figurines of birds decorate the house for Easter . They also decorate the holiday table. For serving, "thematic" dishes are used - in the form of a bird or decorated with images of birds.
Another bird-related Easter decor is the birdhouse. Multi-colored birdhouses made of plywood or cardboard are hung in window openings from inside the dwelling. Birdhouses decorate window sills and chests of drawers. You can also buy a candlestick in the shape of a birdhouse.
Easter Bunny. Even more than birds are popular easter bunnies . A variety of rabbits are taken from the pantries of Western houses and installed throughout the house.
Do-it-yourself "rabbit" decor for Easter - find a stencil or draw a silhouette of a rabbit yourself by making a template. According to the pattern, transfer the silhouette to thick colored paper and cut out as many paper figures as possible, making a garland out of them. Such a garland can decorate windows for Easter or hang it on a chandelier above the festive table.
The festive table itself can be decorated with paper napkins with the image of rabbits and fabric napkins folded in a special way (in the shape of a rabbit).

Rabbits love carrots, so carrots are also used for Easter decoration . Paper, plastic or soft fabric carrots are hung like a garland or decorated with an Easter tree.
Flowers and grass. One of the symbols of Easter is Renewal. In spring, nature is renewed - fresh grass appears, everything blooms. Therefore, not a single Easter decor can do without flowers. The most popular flowers for Easter are tulips. Wildflowers, though not so beautiful, are very touching and tender. In general, any flowers are suitable, the main thing is that they are fresh.
Grass can be both real and artificial. artificial grass for Easter decor you can do it yourself - take green (to simulate fresh grass) or beige (to simulate dried grass) paper and cut it into long strips. Collect the strips in one messy pile and lay it on the bottom of the basket, which will stand in the center of the table, or the box in which the Easter Bunny will sit.
Easter eggs. Easter eggs are good on their own. But for interior decorations for easter use a variety of decorative elements - both from eggs (or rather, eggshells), and in the form of eggs. For example, they sell candles and candlesticks in the shape of eggs, “fried eggs” plates, egg-shaped vases, etc.
Many elements can be made by hand. For example, candles in a shell. To do this, you need to cook whole halves of the shell, wash them. Then you need to crumble the finished candle, melt the wax, prepare the wick and fill the shell with wax.
Eggs for hangings and garlands can be made from plasticine, then wrapped in foil.
To make an Easter decor from threads, you need to inflate a small balloon, coat it with PVA glue, wrap it with colored thread dipped in the same glue, and let it dry. After drying, the ball is pierced and carefully removed, and the thread ball keeps its shape.
Eggs can be felt, knitted, carved from wood. In general, there are many options - as they say, who is into what much.
Eggs can be made Easter crafts - rabbits and birds. Some elements can be cut out of paper and glued to the shell. But you can't do without painting with paint. It is better to make Easter crafts with children, and you can start already 2-3 weeks before Easter.
Easter decor: table setting for Easter
For serving the Easter table, textiles and dishes of spring colors are used - delicate, pastel: mostly pink, green, yellow and blue, as well as white. Rarely preferred blue and lilac.
Be sure to prepare flowers for the decoration of the festive table - preferably fresh.
In the West, there is a rule: to put on the table objects associated with all three Easter symbols: Renewal, Life and Light. That is, it will be enough to decorate the table with candles, flowers and a rabbit or figures of birds, butterflies.
Flowers are the best decoration for any holiday, but in Easter decor flower arrangements especially relevant. Decor with flowers will create a particularly joyful and spring atmosphere on Bright Sunday.
basket of tulips
A basket of yellow and orange tulips will be a wonderful addition to the Easter table. When the tulips are closed, they resemble Easter eggs in shape. 
Basket with daffodils
A stump basket lined with moss can become a "home" for daffodils and toy chickens. Such a composition will be a breath of fresh spring air for your interior. 
Basket with violets
The combination of a Japanese-style basket with ribbons and pink violets looks very fresh and delicate. 
Bouquet in a paper basket
A bouquet of daffodils in a small paper basket is suitable for table decoration - put this composition in the center of each plate on a yellow napkin - it will turn out very sunny! 
Spring baskets with hyacinths
Welcome spring and invite it inside the house! Turn your living room window sill into a garden with a few wicker baskets filled with hyacinths and primroses. 
Easter composition of hyacinths
Complementing a few hyacinth bushes with moss and Easter eggs tied with ribbons, you will have a very simple and beautiful Easter composition. 
sunny bouquet
Place your yellow flowers—in this case, daffodils—in a clear vase of water. Pour sea buckthorn berries into the water. Such a bouquet will bring spring mood to any corner of your house along with a bouquet. 
Takeaway bouquets
Plastic boxes (which are often used to sell takeout food) can be used as vase decor. Put the spring flowers in a vase, and put the vase in such a box. 
Vase with ribbon
Update a simple clear vase for spring with some ribbon. We added 2 ribbons (green and blue) to this vase and the peony bouquet looks more interesting. 
spring bouquet
A clear bankai and a few colorful eggs to match the bouquet can make for a very interesting kitchen decoration. Take a transparent kitchen jar with a wide neck and put a small glass inside, placing it in the middle of the jar. Put the colored eggs one by one around the glass, and put a bouquet of spring flowers in a glass of water. 
Eggs don't have to be present for your flower arrangement to be dedicated to Easter. It will be even more interesting to use not unambiguous symbols, but hints at them. Here in this example egg stands are used as vases for small field bouquets. 
egg vase
Of course, we are not sure if you will find an ostrich egg for this composition :)) But this idea is very interesting - to make a vase from the shell of a large egg. 
Tulips and daffodils in a nest
This large nest, made from thin flexible sticks, is an amazing addition to a spring flower arrangement. This little masterpiece is like a symbol of the rebirth of nature in spring. Place the bouquet in a wide vase, previously fastened with an elastic band at the base of the bouquet and place the vase in the center of such a nest. 
Vase of eggs on a stand.
If the large ostrich egg from the example " egg vase» you could not find, but the option with stands « Field bouquets in egg cases» you were not impressed, then we offer to combine these two ideas in one! Place small bunches of lilacs, lilies of the valley, and pansies in egg shell bowls. And put the vases themselves on special egg stands. 
Decoration from cats
This, of course, is about cats on a willow :) This delicate composition will be the perfect decoration for Palm Sunday. 
Flowerpot-nest
To make such a composition - you do not need skills in floristry. Just plant muscari (small hyacinths), violets or pansies in flowerpots, and put a chicken egg and a few quail eggs in the center. 
egg hyacinth
In order to make such a composition, a van needs to prick hyacinth flowers on pins and attach them to an egg-shaped sponge soaked in water. You can install this large egg-shaped hyacinth on a flowerpot with moss. 
Basket of cats
Another option for decorating a house for Palm Sunday. Take a small wicker basket and tightly decorate it with willow branches with seals. You can put a container of water in the basket and put a bouquet of tulips in it. 
Spring bouquet in a watering can
This bright bouquet of lilacs and daffodils can be placed in a watering can. 
Lilac bouquet
Subtle differences in the color of different types of lilacs are great for creating such a gradient composition. Gather several branches of each color of lilac and place in a vase with the darkest shade at the bottom and the lightest at the top. 
Tiered bouquets
With such a composition in the center of the Easter table, any housewife can even afford not to cook anything :) Bouquets from different combinations of tulips, lilies of the valley and daffodils should be placed in egg stands. After that, place these cupped bouquets on a multi-level stand (usually such coasters are used for sweets or fruits). Also, several testicles can be placed on each level of the stand. 
If you want your flower arrangement to please the eye for several months, then it is better to opt for artificial flowers. Such a bouquet is not at all whimsical in water and will certainly withstand any experiments. For example, you can put a bouquet in a jar with a wide neck, filling half of the jar with colorful pistachios, and place toy chicks in the upper levels. Add a pink bow and the bright composition is ready!
