Make Your Own Wreath Using a Pool Noodle

This seems obvious looking at it now, but we've never thought about making a wreath using a pool noodle. After you have your noodle, cut it down and use a glue gun to glue the two ends together. Next, just use that same glue gun to start adding some decorations. You can cover the entire wreath with different colored Easter eggs, or you can add some flowers, or maybe a bit of both.

And don't be shy with the glue because you don't want the noodle separating after you've already covered it in whatever decorations you choose to put on your wreath.

Craft Some Twine or Burlap Eggs

If you're looking for an idea for fancier or more grown-up Easter eggs, then this might be it. Grab some twine or burlap from a dollar store, along with some glue and plastic eggs. Next, just wrap the eggs with the twine. You can add glue beforehand to make sure everything stays in place after you're done. Finish it all off with ribbons, but make sure they're in neutral colors.

After you're done with all of them, you can place them in some white stoneware or in another project from this list. They'd also look really good paired with straw or moss.

Create a Display Using an Aluminum Foil Tray

The tray in this photo is actually made out of aluminum foil, but it's done so well that you don't even notice. Start off by painting your tray. You can paint it similarly to the one in this photo, or you could go with your own design. Next, cut out your bunny using some cardboard, and give it some color or leave it brown, depending on what colors you're going with.

You can also take some fake flowers and carrots and run them along the bottom of the pan or along the top. Use Scrabble pieces to finish everything off by spelling a festive word.

Make a Paper Bunny Garland

Need something to hang on the wall or across a shelf? This might be your answer. These paper bunny pom poms are super simple to make and they're also really inexpensive. You can find detailed instructions on the internet, but everything is pretty straightforward. You just need some yarn or string, paper, and pom poms. The hardest part is just getting the string through each pom pom, but once you've done that, you're set.

Like a lot of other ideas on this list, feel free to make this one you're own and mix things up with different colors if you want, or you could just go with all white.

Craft Some Yarn Easter Bunnies

Yarn and twine are both really versatile, but they also look great when paired with Easter decorations. There are more in-depth guides explaining how to craft easter bunnies out of yarn online, but it's really easy, and it doesn't cost very much. If you go the yarn route, then feel free to mix things up with different colors or match them to the decor you already have around your home.

Twine tends to be one color, but it still looks really good, and it's more of a neutral color so it pairs well with most other decorations regardless.

Craft This Adorable Centerpiece

If you're looking for a really unique centerpiece or maybe even just something to display on the shelf, then look no further. This centerpiece looks sort of like a tree made out of Easter-colored candies, and we think it's great. All you need is a candleholder, some cardboard, and plenty of tiny Easter eggs. Use the cardboard to create a cylindrical shape on the candleholder. You can hold everything together using glue.

Lastly, start gluing all of the tiny easter eggs onto the cardboard one by one, and remember that you can make patterns using different colors if you want to.

Use Buffalo Check Fabric to Brighten up a Frame

This one requires just a tiny bit of luck, but odds are it won't be hard to find a bunny-shaped frame at a dollar store. Once you've found your frame, you just need a bit of glue, and some buffalo check fabric, which works really well with springtime and Easter decor. Glue the fabric onto the frame and cut around the sides to make a cute little display piece for your home.

If you want to go a step further, you can even add a little burlap ribbon across the rabbit's neck so that it looks like it's wearing a bowtie.
