The Easter holidays are an ideal occasion to decorate the house with all the colors of spring, combined with the traditional symbols of the season: this is when we welcome the return of spring with its pastel colours, and, of course with Easter eggs, rabbits, and more.

You too can enjoy this season by using recycled materials to create a festive, Easter atmosphere - perhaps one that is slightly shabby-chic in flavor. Check out the ideas below:

Use your fabric off-cuts: eggs (real or artificial) can be "dressed up" in all sorts of floral patterns, for example.

There is always a way to wrap eggs using burlap or twine, and perhaps also adding other details such as buttons, trimmings or even rhinestones.

Carrots are iconic at Easter - a delicacy loved by bunnies. And you can also create them using DIY projects!

There really are almost infinite ways to decorate eggs for Easter, but where should we put them? In baskets, of course - but even their cartons will do, if they are suitably decorated.

Eggs decorated with decoupage and littlescraps of paper: there's plenty of great ideas!

An old, rusty iron basket (or maybe an old lampshade), will become beautiful when filled with colored eggs. And you can also add flowers to it if you want.

Why not display your decorated eggs under a glass dome or bell jar? You just need to learn how to stack the eggs in an artistic way.

Any bowl will do too - just decorate it with paper shavings, or thin twigs, just like a nest, in which you will place the eggs.

Those who can sew, can create dozens of bunny-shaped decorations.

Even simple shapes, placed inside baskets or bowls filled with twigs will do: rabbits, with a touch of nature, will be stunning.

And there's no shortage of Easter wreath ideas either: moss, plants, eggs and bunnies are a surefire combination. You can even use these to make a table centerpiece!
