6 Ways to Decorate with Eggs

I don’t know about you, but I am starting to think about Easter since it’s only a few weeks away! And for me, that means it’s time to add a few spring-y touches around the house. One of my favorite ways to do that is with eggs…wonderfully small symbols of something so much bigger! So today I am sharing my six favorite ways to decorate with…you guessed it!…eggs!



1. START ON THE PORCH
With all of the wonderful faux eggs that are available now, it’s great fun to use them as a part of your spring porch decorations. Why not place them in a basket for a welcoming FARMHOUSE SPRING PORCH? You will have your guests wondering whether or not they are real!

2. ADD THEM TO A WREATH
Spring just says bird nests to me, so I love adding them wherever I can! My BURLAP AND DOGWOOD SPRING WREATH stars a little nest of sparkly yellow eggs…perfect!

Or for a really egg-cellent (sorry!) spring look, try my POTTER BARN INSPIRED SPRING WREATH, featuring a circle of eggs in pastel tones nestled among pussy willows!

3. LET THEM STAR IN YOUR CENTERPIECE
A centerpiece doesn’t have to be difficult to put together! Just add a few seasonal items to a basket or tray and…voilà! This SIMPLE EASTER CENTERPIECE includes a purchased basket already filled with eggs…easy peasy! And my easy-to-make NO-SEW FELT CARROTS add the perfect finishing touch!

4. ADD THEM TO YOUR TABLESCAPE
More eggs in pretty pastel shades help pull together a tablescape by echoing the colors of your dinnerware or your napkins. In my POTTERY BARN INSPIRED EASTER  TABLESCAPE, I used inexpensive $2.00 ramkins to serve as little nests, compared to the $10.50 Pottery Barn versions…just one of my ideas for GETTING THE POTTERY BARN LOOK FOR LESS…

…including this cute bunny egg cup to add a touch a whimsy to your spring table!

5. CREATE SPRING PLACE CARD HOLDERS / PARTY FAVORS
Let everyone know where they will be sitting at your spring get-together with these fun and super easy POTTERY BARN INPSIRED NEST PLACE CARD HOLDERS. Yes…I freely admit it…I am a big copy-cat and nothing thrills me more than recreating a high-end look at a fraction of the cost! And…your guests can take them home with them when they leave!

6. TUCK THEM UNDER A CUTE EGG COZY
Who doesn’t love hiding Easter eggs? And these eggs are hiding under whimsical NO-SEW BUNNY EGG COZIES…so fun and easy to make! They are guaranteed to make your family and your guests smile!

And finally, here are a few of my favorite ways to decorate eggs, including several ways to découpage along with {silk tie} dyed eggs!
