12 amazing DIY projects for creating Easter decorations using branches

As spring approaches, one may feel the desire to decorate one's home with the colors and the scents of the season; it's a way to recover from a dull winter and celebrate the awakening of nature, with its longer days, a warm sun and a desire to go outside and frolic in the sunshine.

And while waiting for the Easter holidays, it is tradition to decorate the home with the symbols and icons of spring. Without buying expensive ornaments, we can decorate our home with the help and resources that nature gives us: branches, leaves, flowers and even small eggs.

Today, we suggest 12 amazing projects you can do using branches for Easter. 

1. Flowering branches

The easiest idea for home decoration is to simply use a flowering branches: place them in a glass vase together with stones that resemble eggs, perhaps add a small nest made using straw, and add a few green leaves. You will now have a very simple, attractive decoration.

2. Easter table centerpiece

How about a nice Easter table centerpiece? Make it using a simple tray, one or two rabbit figures (perhaps made using origami or paper mache), bulbous flowers and small branches and twigs arranged to form a nest of eggs. 

3. Candle holders

Turning a plain white candle into an attractive decoration is a breeze using a simple glass vase and thin, flexible twigs and small branches.

4. Egg wreath

5. A pom-pom tree

A wonderful alternative to the classic Easter tree is a pom-pom tree. And making this with your kids will be a lot of fun. All you need is a nice branch - perhaps with some buds, flowers or small leaves - some yarn and colored ribbons. Make the pom-poms using wool, cardboard and elastic bands, Then, add some colored ribbons to hang them with and decorate the branch. Beautiful, right?

The symbol par excellence for Easter (after eggs), is carrots. Make your own by wrapping flexible, cone-shaped branches and evergreen branches with twine to create these icons. The result will be spectacular.
