Instead of placing eggs in traditional baskets or bowls, display them with Easter tree ornaments to create a variety of festive and cute holiday decorations. Easter tree decorations began as traditional outdoor displays in Scandinavia and Germany, but have recently become popular in the United States. There are over 64,000 Instagram posts tagged #eastertree, each more beautiful than the last.
This spring, why not create your own decorative Easter tree or purchase one as a spring centerpiece to turn heads at your Easter brunch? Bring tradition indoors by decorating small artificial trees and clusters of branches with flowers, paper cut shapes, and dyed Easter eggs. Easter tree decorations are a colorful and festive way to welcome spring. These are some of our favorite looks.

Some Easter purchases, some Easter DIY! The papier mache eggs are pre-cracked. All you need is a coat or two of colorful chalk finish paint. To make an Easter twig tree, fill a tall vase with cut pussy willow branches and gently hang painted Easter tree ornaments. Finish your display with metallic Easter glasses and chocolates wrapped in gold leaf.

This gorgeous Easter tree craft proves that simple is best. Start this homemade spring centerpiece with a tall cylindrical vase. Add a few flowering branches to create a base and decorate the branches with dyed eggs suspended with satin ribbon. I chose an ivory ribbon with different shades of eggs to create a rustic yet cohesive look.

Add some cheer to your Easter tree with a kaleidoscope of cheerful butterflies. Use a paper punch to cut cardboard butterflies in seasonal shades of pink, yellow, and orange. I used acrylic paint pens to add details to the butterflies, outlining some butterflies and embellishing others. Insert the cut branches into an outdoor planter filled with flower foam and cover the top with purchased moss.

Decorating an Easter tree doesn't have to be complicated. Cut-out paper birds and simply colored eggs dress up a bucket filled with tall branches for this spring's centerpiece. Using plastic eggs and paper will make the arrangement light enough that it won't fall over.
To make it, fill a colored bucket with sand, insert branches, and hang handmade paper bird decorations and plastic eggs to complete the display.

You don't need blown eggs to make cute Easter tree decorations. These colorful hanging eggs made from paper are the perfect Easter craft for kids. Work with your little one to help cut egg shapes from construction or scrapbooking paper and decorate each egg with colorful stickers and ribbons. The finished paper eggs were hung from pussy willow branches in a rustic metal bucket.
