If you can't help but smile when you think about Easter, you're in good company. If you're religious, you know that, at its core, the holiday symbolizes hope and new beginnings. But even if you're not, Easter acts as an unofficial kickoff to spring. It's when darker, more muted shades give way to brighter, bolder pastels, the weather finally starts to warm, and the days skew longer. Essentially, Easter is the perfect time to give your space a much-needed refresh—starting with pretty, homemade Easter decorations that you'll still want to enjoy as the weather warms up.
So here's our best advice: Throw open the windows, tackle that spring cleaning to-do list, then get to work planning your Easter party. Pick a brunch menu, turn on your favorite Easter movie, and give these Pinterest-worthy craft projects a try. We're not just talking about painted eggs and Easter baskets, either. From outdoor flair like wreaths and egg hunt signs to indoor embellishments like candles and centerpieces, there are plenty of creative, cheap (think: Dollar Tree), and easy (some take just five minutes!) DIY Easter decorations to experiment with. These ideas, which transcend skill levels, are fun for the whole family—from toddlers to adults. Plus, they help make Easter feel truly special, and may even spark gratitude for your loved ones and encourage the spirit of giving.
