Make
an Easter wreath with colorful eggs in just a few simple steps. First take an
egg (not boiled) and with an awl or bigger needle poke a small hole in both of
the ends of the egg. You can now dye the eggs or decorate them by gluing different colors of patterned
wrapping paper. Then string the eggs onto a thicker thread or some kind of
wire, whatever you find and think will work. Do not forget to make a knit
before stringing the first egg otherwise you will lose it on the ground. Leave
an extra inch on both ends; you will need these two inches of thread in the
end. Make a knit after every egg and when you are done with the eggs, tie the
two ends. Put a ribbon in the middle in order to make it more beautiful.

If you feel
like going rustic this Easter, find an old watering can and fill it with spring
flowers, ribbons, dyed egg shells, greenery etc. Tulips or narcissi are a very
suitable choice for the event.

One of the
easiest ways to make an effective centerpiece is to take a glass vase and fill
it with eggs and flowers and greenery in matching colors. Green, yellow, purple
and pink eggs are very easy to combine with spring blossoms with predominantly
whitish and pinkish colors. Red eggs are best decorated with red tulips (don’t
forget to cut the stems).

The asparagus center piece below is very elegant and sophisticated way of decorating the table. The asparagus is formed as a fence around a bouquet of beautiful spring flowers. Wrap the asparagus with packthread for the finish touch. Tree blossoms, pink roses, peonies, white tulips all are perfect for elegant and excquisite atmosphere.

I love this one.
Remove the top of an eggshell, dye in soft purple, delicate baby blue, or leave
it white. Then use it as a small vase for spring flowers- lilies-of-the-valley,
forget-me-nots, lilac, hyacinths.

If you plan
to spend Easter outside the city this is a very cute way to surprise your
guests. Unconventional and different this decoration is very suitable for a
more rustic environment.
White
carnations and yellow eggs in a porcelain bowl is one very simple, delicate, stylish,
and unpretentious decision for a center piece.

narcissi in a small paper basket. Very creative, simple and will definitely
impress your guests.

This is one
of my favorite - very creative and cheerful this decoration will definitely brighten your
day. Dye several eggs in yellow and then cover the dyed eggs with broken egg
shells; you have to make the yellow eggs seem like they are trying to pop out
of the white egg shells. With black marker make two dots on which egg- they
will be the eyes of the chicken. Then from red or orange paper cut as many
rhombuses as number of eggs you have. Fold the rhombuses into two and here are
the beaks of your chickens.
And here is a
little something from me. I found some delicate pink blossoms in the garden in
front of my house and I put them in a martini glass. Also, I bought some purple
lilac which fills the entire house with indescribable scent. I added one white paper rabbit and there it is- a very simple decoration for my work desk.
This one is very simple, too. The pot is with fake grass- I found it in Ikea. I added cloth daisies and a couple of chickens and ta-da.
