Easy Easter Décor and Easter Bunny Letters

If you have kids preparing for Easter probably includes Easter Bunny letters and related holiday décor. The good news is all of your Easter decorations can easily be made from the things you typically have in your craft box.

One addition you may want to add is a package or two of the store-bought plastic Easter eggs. These eggs can easily be decorated to create exciting new looks that your kids will love. Not only will they have fun decorating the eggs but they will like displaying them and using them for those infamous Easter Egg Hunts.

The truth is, these eggs can be decorated using many of the same techniques that your kids will be using to decorate their letters to The Easter Bunny. An easy decorating idea is to simply apply stickers to the eggs. You can find stickers that Easter-themed that include bunnies, crosses, jellybeans, and even chicks and carrots. The idea is to be free in your designs.

You can also add glitter and sequins to the eggs. Just glue them on with craft glue. In fact, you could even use the little eyes and create adorable Easter creatures. Use yarn, ribbons and bits of cloth to ‘dress’ the creatures and you have an adorable display.
Feathers can be added to the eggs too. You can completely cover the eggs or just use feathers for a decorative touch. Because the feathers seem to give movement to the eggs most kids love this technique.

You can also paint these plastic eggs. Just use a small paint brush and craft paint. Be creative and make the process fun and imaginative. Or be a little more precise and create specific images related to Easter. You could add little bunnies, chicks, pastel hearts, smiley faces or religious images.

Other elements you may want to add to your eggs include bits of felt, beads, or small charms. You can use the caps from bottled drinks to ‘stand’ your eggs in or you can create a stand out of construction paper. 

Just cut strips of paper and glue together to create the appropriate sized ring to hold your egg upright. The strips of paper can be decorated to look like grass or even with glitter and sequins. The point is to have fun in the creative process.

Besides your displays of eggs you might want to add other decorations that can include letters to The Easter Bunny and mini Easter baskets. You can usually find ‘mini baskets’ at dollar stores. Obviously the baskets are extremely inexpensive. 

You can use some of the items from your craft box to decorate the baskets, including ribbon, lace, glitter and sequins. Then fill the baskets with finely cut ‘Easter grass’ and add tiny Easter decorations and candy. These baskets can be given to older kids and grandkids as an Easter gift. 

Easter symbolizes new beginnings and rebirth. It’s the perfect time to decorate with flowers as flowers also remind us of spring and new beginnings. Whether you prefer live plants or silk flowers you can add an Easter touch with small Easter-themed decorations.
Consider decorating your plants much like you decorate an artificial tree at Christmas time. Just create your Easter ornaments out of construction paper. Add a strand of jelly beans for garland. 

Have fun in your decorating adventures and try new things. The more you do the more fun you and your kids will have!
