5 Easy Easter Centerpieces You Can Make Yourself

Easter is a great time to get creative and have some fun with centerpieces and other holiday decor. If you have lots of time to prepare, there’s no limit to what you can make. But sometimes you don’t have access to supplies or much time to pull something together.

If you’re in a pinch and need some Easter decor, here are some easy ideas for centerpieces.

But first, let’s talk about getting creative with your supplies and material …

Inexpensive Materials To Use For Easter Centerpieces

Holiday decor can be a great way to add to the Easter festivities. But you shouldn’t have to break the bank to have them.

Instead, start by shopping in your own house!

Look for anything you can use that you already have. This may include stuffed bunnies or figurines from your kids’ toy collection or fresh flowers, branches, rocks, twigs, and moss from your yard.

If you can’t find anything at home, head to thrift shops, discount stores, and dollar stores. Many of these stores carry a wide range of inexpensive craft materials that are great for creating fun DIY Easter centerpieces.

5 Easy DIY Centerpieces For Easter

Once you have your materials, you can start working on your centerpieces. Here are some creative ideas to get you started …

1. Fill A Vase

This is probably the easiest Easter centerpiece you can make for your table! If you don’t have any vases on hand, use mason jars and other cute containers or jars.

While you could simply add water and flowers to your vase, there are a couple of other unique ways to use your vase(s).

LAYERED VASES

Put a smaller vase or container inside a bigger one, then fill the space between the two vases with jellybeans, mini eggs, chocolates, peeps, carrots, or spring-coloured jewels. Add tall branches or flowers from the garden to the center vase, and you’re done!

CANDY-FILLED MASON JARS

Fill mason jars with some Easter treats, and put one on everyone’s plate. (This makes for a cute decoration and a fun gift for your guests to take home!)

SCENE IN A VASE

Create a scene inside of your vase with moss, faux flowers, and figurines.

2. Tiered Easter Stand

Set moss, dyed (or not dyed) eggs, bunny figurines, candles in mason jars, and other spring decor on a tiered serving tray.

3. Easter Egg Tree

I actually made this one a couple of years ago, and now it’s always part of my Easter decor! Hit up the craft store for styrofoam eggs and a cone. (If you can’t find a cone, you can make one out of bristol board.)

Paint and decorate the eggs however you like, then glue them to the cone. Fill in the spaces with shred paper, flowers and leaves, or moss.

4. Flower Science Experiment

This is a great one for getting the kids involved, but you have to start this project at least a few days before you need your centerpiece.

Place white carnations or daisies in jars with food coloring added to the water. The flowers will absorb the water and after a few days, the flowers will start to change colour.

This is such a great way to bring bright beautiful colours into your home and learn a bit more about flowers!

How This Experiment Works: Flowers have xylems inside them that transport water through the stem and up to the leaves and flowers. The upward movement of fluids is known as capillary action. It can also be observed when you dip a paper towel into a glass of water.

When the dyed water gets sucked up the xylems, it’s dispersed through the flower. This causes the flower petals, stem, and leaves to change colour.

5. Wine Glasses

Wine glasses are not JUST for drinking!!

Flip them upside down, put whatever Easter treats or decor you want underneath them, and place a candle on the upturned bases! You could even add ribbon to the stems or a brightly coloured table runner underneath the glasses.

With a little bit of creativity, you can make an Easter centerpiece that your family and guests will love.
