A Simple Easter DIY That Will Elevate Your Decor In Any Room
By the time Easter comes around, winter has worn out its welcome. Even if flurries still swirl in the sky or your yard contains more mud than green grass, decorating your home for Easter reminds you that the growing season is close at hand. So gather a few items and put together this springtime decor piece to hang on a wall or set on a tabletop. Pick up the highly versatile SANNAHED frame from IKEA that combines a traditional picture frame with a deep shelf border to create a shadow box. Line the frame with burlap, assemble a row of eggs-turned-vases brimming with flowers, cap it off with a wooden bunny figurine, and you have a cute but not cloying piece of seasonal joy.
To make this precious pastel decor, you'll need a SANNAHED frame, four Fruasio Easter Speckled Eggs, a wooden rabbit silhouette like one of these AWIZOM Easter Wooden Bunny Cutouts, a piece of burlap about 6 inches by 8 inches, floral foam, and some dried or faux flowers in colors that tie everything together. Raid the craft room for a pair of scissors and a glue gun. While you're rummaging in your crafting stash, if you find a fabric scrap, some decorative paper, or a piece of repurposed old clothing you'd prefer over a burlap background, grab it to use instead.
Make your egg-cellent Easter piece
First, situate the burlap or your choice of material inside the frame where the photo would typically go and secure the backing on the frame. Set aside four plastic eggs – each one in a different color, all the same color, or even two colors that will alternate in the final product. Poke the tip of your scissors into the top of each egg and cut away the top. Leave an uneven edge to mimic the look of a hatched egg. Then, turn the frame so that the longest sides are horizontal, and glue the four eggs and the rabbit silhouette on the bottom edge of the frame in any arrangement you like.
Next, break off small chunks of floral foam, and glue them inside each eggshell. Finally, fit the stems of the dried or faux flowers into the foam. However, nothing's stopping you from using fresh spring flowers instead. As long as there aren't holes in your plastic eggs (or you've patched them with glue), they can serve as individual bud vases. Pick a few single blossoms of stunning spring flowers, like tulips, daffodils, snowdrops, and hyacinths. Further, if the bunny element is too cutesy for your taste, swap it out for a fifth egg in a different color that can hold yet another spring bloom.
