Colorful homemade Easter eggs may be the only decoration you need to celebrate this spring time holiday in your home. If, however, you want to expand on your egg dyeing handiwork with a few inexpensive Easter decorations, shop the following online stores to set a joyful, bright atmosphere for your family or to host an Easter-egg hunting party.
Easter Egg Tree
Popular in Germany and the Ukraine, displaying decorated blown eggs or wooden eggs on a tree or branches is a beautiful way to show off your artful Easter eggs. Make your own easy, inexpensive Easter egg tree by filling a bucket, pot, or vase with marbles or sand and inserting a handful of fresh-cut tree branches or pussy willow cuttings. From the tree, hang blown eggs with a ribbon attached. Or buy wooden, ceramic, or glass eggs for a tree you can display year after year.
Or buy one of the many egg trees available online, including a nicely priced Easter egg tree at Target. The faux tree sits in a ceramic white pot with two handles with a base of fake moss and Styrofoam. The abundant branches display a wealth of pretty eggs. Price: $19.99, shipping varies.
Handmade Easter Garland Banner
Measuring 12 feet long, this handsewn Easter garland banner from pippastrella’s Etsy store, shows bunnies hopping over a clutch of tulips on each 6-inch flag. The beige, green, and red banner projects a vintage air. Price: $15, shipping is $5.
Glass Easter Egg Ornaments
Delicate glass Easter-egg-shaped ornaments in pastel colors from Lillian Vernon can hang from an Easter egg tree, a light fixture, or a household plant. Price: $5.98. Shipping is $4.99.
Easter Party Supplies
Easter-themed paper plates and tablecloths, plastic eggs to stuff with candy and goodies, bunny-shaped drinking straws, mini Easter bubble bottles, and other Easter toys—all are available at novelty shops such as Oriental Trading and Century Novelty. Make sure you balance the chocolate Easter bunnies and marshmallow peeps with non-edible toys that won’t contribute to a sugar overload. Fun ideas from Oriental Trading: Tiny Easter game books ($4.97 for 6 dozen 24-page books), Easter punch balloons ($5.95 per dozen), and bunny and chick pop-up toys ($4.95 for two dozen).
Cloth Easter Tablecloths and Table Linens
Sophisticated and cheerful, as well as reasonably priced, the Easter Egg embroidered tablecloth from the Shannon store measures 33 inches square. Bright orange and green Easter eggs adorn the polyester tablecloth, which also features a delicate embroidered border. Price: $35. Free shipping.
