Let's start with the classic coloring of eggs and the obligatory eggs, but of course we also make the Easter wreath itself, decorate the Easter bouquet or Easter shrub, make Easter basket and put together a creative table decoration. Advanced craft professionals can sew with our ideas but even egg warmer. And of course, the Easter decoration trends are not too short. We looked around Pinterest and wanted to know what's in store for Easter this year. For example, we noticed the trend handlettering for Easter eggs. This is already something for advanced, but can be learned in any case.
Craft ideas for homemade Easter decorations
Schönfärberei: Design Easter Eggs
Easter lets greet! Simply stick adhesive letters (from the paper goods store) on the eggshells, color the eggs in pastel colors and remove the letters again. As a stylish frame is a simple egg board, color matching painted. An Easter egg nest is also very easy. Look here: crafts with egg cartons.
Frühlingsboten: Floral decoration for festive spring decoration
After the long winter, the first flowers are real eye-catchers that adorn every Easter table. Hyacinths, tulips and daffodils collect as self-bound Easter bouquets in various old jugs that you can find at flea markets, for example. Breath them new life and enjoy an Easter decoration that you have made yourself.
Highlights: Easter eggs as an eye-catcher
Colorful shimmering sequins make these eggs (about 7.5 cm long) to a striking jewelry in the self-bound Easter bouquet.
Instead of place cards: Easter decorations made of flowers
Cut out an egg from solid paper, add two slits and put a spring flower through - the Easter table decoration is ready. And who insists on a fixed seating arrangement, can paint the names with gold pin.
Long-eared: Sew Easter bunny
These bunnies made of cotton fabric are sewn in no time.
Manual: On a copier enlarge the drawing to 27 cm height and cut out. Cut this piece of fabric twice from striped or checkered cotton fabric (put right sides together) with 6 mm wide seam allowance, observe the threadline.
Using small stitches, stitch the seam all around, leaving a slit open to turn and stuff the rabbit. Turn over the part, stuff with cotton wool and sew the slit. Embroider a face on the hare with pearl yarn, the eyes in the knot stitch, the beard hair and the small nose in the instep stitch.

Silberblick Mr. and Mrs. Hase have taken a seat here. They are sewn of linen itself. The expressive look is provided by pearl buttons as eyes. Vase: The Warehouse; rectangular pillow: Glockengiesser Collection; Chocolate eggs: Lindt.
manual The drawing on a copier can be increased to the desired size, the straight line for the small pillow to 27 cm, for the large to 34 cm. Cut the rabbit from doubled (right to right) linen fabric in natural or white color, with around 1 cm seam allowance, note the threadline. On both left sides of the fabric reinforce all acute angles of the line to be quilted with iron-on nonwovens (Freudenberg nonwovens).
Quilt the pieces together, leaving a slot open to turn and fill. At the acute angles, cut the seam allowance to the stitching. Turn the part over. Firmly stuff the rabbit with cotton wool (department store) and sew the slit by hand. For the eyes, sew two white mother-of-pearl buttons (Ø approx. 16 mm) on each rabbit's head, piercing through the head and tightening the thread.
Send easter bunny card as invitation
Listen up! A hare made of paper asks for a table. You can also send Easter greetings on it or use it as a place card. Manual: You need thin construction paper in three different colors, for example in white, green and brown, as well as glue. Enlarge the drawing on a copier to 16.5 cm height.
Fold the construction paper in each color halfway into the fracture. Place the drawing on the broken line at the break. Transfer one bunny size with copy paper to one color of construction paper and cut out each bunny size twice with a cutter so that the paws (in the case of the two larger bunnies, also the head) are connected if the cut rabbits are unfolded. Now the three rabbits (each small on large, break on break) stick together. Then the card z. B. label with a brunch invitation.
Make personalized napkins with bunny motifs yourself
Clear line With textile paint the fine rabbit motif on napkins is simply stamped. To order: A 45 x 45 cm white linen napkin costs 9.50 euros, Studio 39 - Butzer. The approximately 10 x 14 cm big hare stamp costs 16,90 Euro, stamp type; Salt and pepper shakers: Villeroy & Boch; Eggcup: Mahafaly; Plate: Wedgwood.
Manual: You need white linen napkins, a stamp with rabbit motif and textile paint (marabou) in green or brown. Spread the paint on plastic foil with a brush, as with the ink pad press the stamp on it and evenly moisten the stamp surface. Print the stamp in a napkin corner and wash the paint according to the instructions.
Sew egg warmer with rabbit ears yourself
So that the eggs do not get cold so quickly, they get hats put on. Egg cup (from left): Rosenthal (2), Fürstenberg, Arzberg; Tray: Villeroy & Boch.
Manual: On a copier enlarge the drawing to 26 cm height. Then all the cut pieces for the three different egg warmer (chicken = green line, with tip = brown line, with ears = orange-red line) are the right size. For the chicken, double the felt in a desired color, record the cut with tailor's copy paper (light for dark felt and vice versa) and stitch together the double felt within the chicken just next to the line.
The straight cutting edge remains open. Cut out the chicken along the line and sew a small bead on both sides of the head as an eye. For the model with lace, cut the cut piece 3 times without seam allowance of felt in a desired color and stitch together the pieces at the curved edges with a short edge. For the Ears Egg Warmer, cut the cut twice with 5 mm seam allowance (observe the threadline) and iron on each side the nonwoven fabric that can be ironed on the left side of the fabric (Freudenberg nonwovens). If necessary, stitch through the individual pieces according to fabric patterns or your own imagination, then place them right side together on the right side and stitch together all around. Leave a slot for turning at the large rounding. Turn over the part, sew the slit by hand and put the wide curve to the dashed line (shown in section) inwards in the egg warmer.
