Colorful eggs, fresh flowers and, of course, bunnies are a must at Easter

Hardly any other holiday offers so many beautiful opportunities to decorate and adorn your own four walls to your heart's content. Make pretty Easter decorations together with your children. You can find suitable craft ideas here. We'll give you a few inspirations along the way and show you how much fun you can have doing Easter crafts together.

Versatile craft ideas for Easter eggs

No Easter is complete without the symbol of fertility - the egg. Many families develop their own traditions and find their own personal preferences over time. Let's start with the classic Easter craft:

Versatile craft ideas around Easter eggs

1. Coloring and decorating boiled eggs

Colorful eggs are as much a part of Easter as greenery and candles are of Christmas. Boil the desired quantity of eggs and then dye them as you wish. There are countless different colors and methods to choose from. The Easter eggs can then be decorated a little. Small stickers, stamps or special pens are suitable.

2. Or wrap them up nicely

If you don't want to dye the eggs but still want to add a little color in a different way, try this variation: Take a small piece of soft fabric. For example from Nuschelisand cut small squares out of it. Place the egg inside and bring the fabric together at the top. Now tie it with a thin thread and the egg is already sitting in a pretty fabric shell. Always looks good as an egg warmer on the breakfast table!

3. Blow out the raw egg and paint it

A really good Easter decoration traditionally includes eggs that have been blown out, painted and decorated by children. On this day, there are scrambled eggs, fried eggs or an Easter lamb is baked. Carefully place the eggshells on a stick and you're ready to go. Small works of art are created with watercolors. In addition to single-colored eggs, eggs with small dots, circles or lines always look pretty. Children can realize their own ideas here. Alternatively, you can use plastic or polystyrene eggs for the little ones.

Tip: If you later store the artwork in an egg carton, you can reuse these Easter decorations year after year and of course make new Easter decorations next year.

The Easter bouquet - the symbol of the awakening of nature

When it comes to making pretty Easter decorations, the Easter bouquet should not be forgotten. There are many different ways to decorate them. For example, you can hang the painted Easter eggs on thin strings or use these craft ideas to make other Easter decorations, which can then be attached to the Easter bouquet:

Easter decorations made from natural materials

When it comes to crafting materials for Easter decorations, you shouldn't do without natural materials. These lend a pleasant freshness. In addition to the Easter bouquet, mosses, grasses and, of course, daffodils are ideal. Decorate the windowsill, for example, by laying out a little moss. Drape a few thin eggshells on top and decorate them with some hay. Arrange small twigs to form a little nest and place a soft cloth inside. A small decorative chick or bunny can then be placed in this nest.
