Sometimes I over complicate things. Whether it is in home decor, holiday crafts or even deciding on a paint color for a room. Most times it’s better to go simple. It saves time and mental energy. That is the reason I came up with a tutorial on How To Make an Easy Spring or Easter Centerpiece.
After looking through my Easter decorations, I decided to make something simple for my cottage apartment back porch.
This is what I used:
*Vintage Wire Egg Basket
*Faux Grass Mats
*Vintage Easter Egg Ornaments
*Real Wax Flower Stems
*Shredded Paper Filler
*Store Bought Nest
I was lucky enough to win a egg basket in an Instagram giveaway. It is ideal for any holiday decorating like I have done here and here.
I lined the bottom of the wire basket with faux grass mats from the 99 cent store. I cut them to fit the bottom of the basket for a base of the centerpiece.
To add a vintage look, I wanted to use the glittery Easter egg ornaments that my grandma made at least 40-45 years ago.
They are really cute decorated with tiny birds, butterflies, beads and ribbon. I have kept these in my Easter stash for years. Not really using them because I didn’t like the ribbon or the birds. There isn’t anything wrong or bad about them. Just not my taste.
After a quick deliberation, I removed the ribbon, birds and butterflies from most of the ornaments. For my eye, they look much better.
Leaving a butterfly on one of the eggs is a nice vintage Spring touch.
Tucking in a bunch of fresh wax flowers (from Trader Joes) added a nice touch without being complicated.
The shredded paper filler around the bottom highlights the Spring basket.
Finishing with a tiny faux nest from Big Lots, I love this Spring/Easter basket for a fresh look.
It’s fun as a Spring decorating piece or as an Easter centerpiece.
Like I said in the beginning, sometimes I over complicate things. I am glad I took a little time to be simple and not overthink this project.

So lovely, Meegan! I may fancy up those plastic eggs sitting in my attic and try this one. Thanks for the idea and detailed tut.
This is so sweet, Meegan. I love it. I have this basket and wonderful colored eggs the grandchildren have made me, I am going to make this for Easter. Thank you
Your centrepiece is really pretty, I love the vintage feel it gives off and so unique.
Oh my goodness, your Grandma’s glittery eggs are gorgeous. Did you add the pretty beads on top of the eggs, Meegan? It takes them to a whole new level, they look like jewels now. So lovely. I would love to know how she made them.
What a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration! Those eggs are so pretty!
Happy day!

My grandmother made many eggs like this and so did my mom. Seeing yours brought back so many great memories for me. I love how you displayed yours in the wire basket with the florals.
