How To Make an Easy Spring or Easter Centerpiece

March 6, 2021 By Meegan 7 Comments

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.

 

Do you overthink projects like I do? I hope that I have inspired YOU to learn How To Make an Easy Spring or Easter Centerpiece for your home without being complicated.

I would love to hear your ideas.

Make it a wonderful day, my friends.

    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.

    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.
