Easter trees: 13 amazing ideas for decorations you can buy or make yourself
Amongst the many Easter decorations there are, one stands out: the decorated Easter tree. And unlike Christmas trees, Easter trees tend to be made from branches (from which the decorations are hung).
Depending on your preferences, you can buy a ready-made Easter tree or chose to make one with your own hands from scratch. Let's check out some examples:

Buying a ready-made Easter tree (or one that just needs to be assembled) can save you a lot of time. They usually also come with artificial flowers and decorated eggs which can be hung up quickly.
These commercial trees come in various sizes, some even small enough to use as table centerpieces. These trees often also have flexible branches, so you can arrange them however you want.
Making a DIY Easter tree
You have several options if you want to make a DIY Easter tree: first, you need some branches (which you can buy or just pick up in a nearby park).
Once you have sourced what you need, you just need to busy yourself with making a base and getting the decorations!
One version of an Easter tree is one made up of a group of thin twigs (but still strong enough to support the light-weight decorations). To stand the twigs upright, you can insert them into a grid (made from tape) you have put over the top of a container. Each twig is then inserted into the holes in the grid to create a harmonious whole.
Easter tree decorations
Moving on to the types of decorations that you can hang on your Easter tree, the options are truly endless. A cute and easy idea to try out is to hand-make some pom-poms using balls of wool. And then you can trim these pom-poms into the shape of eggs!
You can even use crochet to create cute Easter eggs, like the ones shown here.
There are many ready-made decorations you can buy online, and these can also serve as inspiration for a DIY project. The above-pictured commercial decorations are made of ceramics - but it would be easy to replicate these yourself using modelling clay.
