No materials to make Easter decorations? Discover what you can creatively recycle
It's nice to have the time and means to make, in advance, all the beautiful decorations to adorn your home for the various holidays of the year, including Easter. But we don't always have the right resources or the time needed to devote to going out to make purchases and undertaking complex projects. However, we must not lose heart and give up decorating the home with some ornaments that would be much appreciated and help us celebrate the festive holiday.
In fact, we could already have many materials around the home or the garden which can be creatively recycled to make unique, attractive decorations. Take a look at the ideas below - they could become the inspiration you need!
If you need to fill a table's centerpiece or some other decoration with fake carrots, you can make them starting from just using some pine cones painted orange, perhaps adding some herbs on top (like parsley) to mimic a real carrot.
For a bunny-shaped decoration that you could place on the ground - perhaps near the fireplace, or in the garden or wherever you want - you can glue various sizes of cut wooden discs together.
Used above shelves, but also hung up as an alternative to wreaths on the door or the windows, old picture frames with some ribbons and themed decorations can be an original creation.
A last minute centerpiece: colored eggs inside inverted wine glasses that become glass domes and candle holders at the same time - just put some tea-light candles on top of the bases of the upturned wine glasses!
A vase with flowers, or even with green, flowering branches from the garden, and supplemented using wooden circles like those for curtains joined together with string to support some eggs (maybe ones you have already decorated): another nice idea to decorate the table, and more.
Do you have any old and rusty metal single-serving trays in the house? With a coat of paint and a few flowers you can make these fantastic candle holders.
The solution that never fails: a centerpiece made up with preserves jars used as vases for flowers.
Let yourself be seduced by a flowering plant - even one you may find in the supermarket: all sorts fine, even simple primroses will do. Then collect sticks of any size and wrap them around the outside of the jar or pot.
If, on the other hand, you want to involve the children in making the decorations, you can make bunnies out of the cardboard tubes from toilet paper rolls.
And you can use toilet roll tubes to create some cute Easter chicks!
Happy Easter!
