DIY Easter Egg Tree | Younger Home Love

Easter isn’t sometimes a type of decorate-every-surface-of-the-house holidays for me. I personal precisely one white ceramic bunny who stays outdoors year-round for “whimsy-factor” (learn: I’m too lazy to maneuver him). However final 12 months I made my first Easter tree and I’ve been inordinately enthusiastic about breaking it out once more ever since.

I do know what you’re considering. However Easter is this weekend!!! I don’t have time. It’s too late. I’d as properly go eat 1,000 Peeps to drown my sorrows. Effectively, it’s not too late. You’ll be able to whip this up in a couple of minutes, and it really appears to be like its greatest when it’s simply loved for per week or so anyway.

So let’s get right down to enterprise. Right here comes the fabric listing. It’s sophisticated so that you would possibly need to write it down:

Yup, that’s it. My eggs are from World Market final 12 months, however those they promote now are fairly related. They’re on sale in the intervening time, so that you’re getting 36 eggs for $9 (I’m no math whiz, however I’m fairly certain that breaks down to love 1 / 4 per egg). There are additionally these related variations and these sequined ones in the event you’re feeling fancy. Or you would use actual blown out and dyed eggs in the event you make these with the youngsters.

The 1st step is to go outdoors and clip some branches. Final 12 months I reduce a number of branches from a flowering forsythia bush, however this 12 months I went dogwood. I do know, I’m a wild girl. Two issues to notice: this additionally appears to be like cute in the event you simply have a leafy department or perhaps a naked one (so it nonetheless works in colder or hotter locations – don’t fear). John’s mother instructed me she reused some naked branches that she had spray painted white for years when John was rising up. The ethical of the story? Colourful eggs hanging off of any lengthy stick-like factor = common cuteness.

Second factor: When reducing your branches, when you have a deep vase with a slender neck like mine, attempt to reduce them so the bottom of the stem (earlier than the department splits) is lengthy sufficient to succeed in the water with out having to fill the vase loopy excessive.

Now right here’s the place it will get sophisticated. You must grasp your eggs on the branches. Is that this joke getting previous? I simply love how simple that is. Significantly takes 5 minutes.

The flowers don’t final perpetually however they undoubtedly look superior for 7-10 days, so I normally make my little tree round per week earlier than Easter and we’re golden.

That concludes the complete and complete tour of our Easter-ified home. I do know it was a whirlwind. You actually are a trooper for making it this far.

Comfortable Easter everybody! Right here’s hopping yours is eggcellent. (You didn’t assume I might get by this with out a few corny mother jokes, did you?)

Oh and since I do know somebunny’s questioning (HA!), right here’s our console desk, our inlay mirror is bought out however I *love* this one, the hampers are from right here, the workplace chair is this one, the rug within the workplace is from right here, the workplace shelving programs are these, the spherical gold mirror is from right here on clearance, so it’s CHEEP!
