Transform Thrifted Mugs Into The Cheeriest Easter Decor With A Quick & Easy DIY

Why not think outside of the box when decorating the home for Easter this year? If you find that the same old store-bought decor pieces get less and less exciting each time you pull them out, consider making your own instead. You could easily DIY your own Easter decor by placing faux flowers, plastic Easter eggs, and decorative moss inside of a thrifted mug to create a festive flower arrangement that will never die. You don't have to be an expert-level craft enthusiast to pull this off successfully. With a bit of extra free time and a few affordable craft supplies, even a beginner can complete this DIY with ease.

Along with the aforementioned materials, you'll also need a hot glue gun and a foam block for this project. The glue gun will be used to adhere everything, and the foam block will be glued inside of the middle of your mug so that you can slide your flowers and other decor pieces into it. Keep in mind that you can add fun twists to make this DIY Easter decor your own. For example, you could opt for a mug in a festive pastel color or add foam Easter bunny picks to the faux floral arrangement.

As you can see, the content creator uses a tea cup and saucer set to complete this DIY. You can use the same materials, or opt for a mug and a saucer (or even just a mug) if you prefer. Feel free to go with whichever option is easiest to locate at your local thrift store. If you have a saucer, start out by hot gluing your mug or tea cup onto it. You can then glue your foam block inside. This will add structure to your arrangement. Now, you're ready to have some fun building your floral Easter display.

Stick faux flowers inside of the foam by the stems, such as the SITUMEIZI Tulips or the Hananona Artificial Flowers. Pop in a few fake Easter eggs, too. You could also add the TICIAGA Easter Picks, which feature colorful Easter bunnies that would slide right into the foam. To ensure each of these materials remains inside of your mug or tea cup securely, you might want to add a few drops of hot glue onto the spot where you stuck them inside the foam block. When you're all done building this arrangement to suit your personal preferences, feel free to use it as a centerpiece, place it on a countertop, or use it to add holiday cheer to any other part of your home you'd like. Consider creating a festive DIY Easter garland to pair with it as well.
