Make Some Moss-Covered Eggs to Show off

We really like this Easter decoration idea. Like everything else on this list, it's really easy and cheap. Start off with some eggs, and prepare them the same way you would if you were about to dye them. Next, simply apply some glue and cover them in moss. You can finish everything off by wrapping a bit of yarn around the egg or just leave them how they are.

The moss looks great with pretty much any type of decor, and it's a nice green reminder of spring. If you have a small basket, you could also just stack them inside and display everything.

Make an Easter-Themed Door Hanger

So, you want something to hang on your door, but you don't want a wreath or a garland? Maybe you can try crafting this Easter-themed door hanger and hang it on your front door. All of the supplies can be bought at the Dollar Tree, and they're not very expensive. Just put everything together using some glue and then hang it with some twine after you finish, and you're done.

If you don't like the way each separate decoration looks right out of the store, paint it or add your own little touches in order to make it more to your tastes.

Use Plastic Foods and Paint Them to Your Liking

Using plastic foods for decoration isn't anything new. However, when it comes to Easter, that plastic fruit bowl your grandmother kept in her house might not cut it here. Instead, lean into the fact that the foods are fake. For example, you can get some plastic carrots and then just paint them white. Throw them in with a basket or some fake moss or other greenery, and you have a good-looking Easter decoration.

You don't even have to paint them white; they'd look nice in pastels, too. You can get a bit creative here since the aim isn't to convince people that plastic food is real.

Take Your Egg Decorating a Step Further With Plastic Eggs and Decoupage Paper

Dyeing Easter eggs is one of the best traditions of Easter. So, why not take your egg dyeing a step further this year by playing around with some plastic eggs? Instead of dying them, you can use decoupage paper to give them a stunning pattern or image. The paper isn't expensive, and there's usually enough to decorate a dozen or more eggs, giving you a unique new decoration for the home.

There are a lot of ways you could take this. It'd also be possible to just use some glue and glitter to add some sparkle to plain, plastic eggs.

Make an Easter Egg Tree

This is a nice idea for a coffee table or a side table. Firstly, you're going to need some cardboard, and you're going to want to shape that cardboard into a tree or a cylinder. Next, start gluing your fake grass or Easter tinsel to the sides. Lastly, start to glue your eggs. Of course, these are just guidelines, and you can decorate your tree with whatever or however you want.

If you do choose to use plastic eggs, then we recommend going with something a bit fancier than plain plastic eggs. The eggs with glitter are nice, or combine this with another plastic egg project on this list.

Make Decorative Easter Coasters Out of Rope

You don't have to actually need any coasters to love the idea of coasters shaped like bunnies. This decoration uses small ropes or twine to fashion simple Easter-themed coasters for anywhere in your home. Just wrap your rope or twine similarly to the ones in this photo, but make sure to cut off some pieces that you can use as the ears. Next, glue everything together to make sure it stays.

Your new coasters are not only going to look great, but they're going to protect your furniture from water marks and rings left by kids during your big Easter dinner.

Make a Clothespin Centerpiece

This is a really cool centerpiece idea. If you want something that looks really great but you don't want to spend a lot of money or time on it, then this might be the answer. Start off with a candle holder, and then glue a ring of clothespins around the top. Inside, you can stuff some grass just to give it a bit more of an Easter vibe. Do the same at the base of the candle holder.

If you want to take it a step further, then you can wrap your clothespin ring in twine or even lightly brush it with white paint or stain to give it a rustic look.
