Original DIY crafts for Easter
On the eve of Easter, many families try to decorate their home with thematic decor, various souvenirs and paraphernalia, which creates a festive atmosphere. Of course, during this period you can find many ready-made decorative objects. But still, we propose to do them yourself. They look no less beautiful, in addition - this is a great opportunity to choose the right shades for your products.
Holiday wreath
Surely many of you know about the tradition of hanging a Christmas wreath on the door or on the windows indoors. In fact, thematic wreaths can be made for any holiday, including Easter. Therefore, we propose to make a very original, but at the same time not too difficult option with your own hands.
We will prepare such materials:
- small balloons;
- PVA glue;
- thread floss in pastel colors;
- glue gun;
- satin ribbon;
- needle;
- small capacity;
- scissors.
Pour PVA glue into a small container and dilute it a little with water at room temperature. Unwind the first skein of thread and lower it into glue. We leave it for just a couple of minutes so that the thread is well fed.
Inflate a small ball and wrap it with prepared thread. You need to do this quickly enough. Repeat the same with the rest of the balls. When everyone is ready, put them on the work area and leave until completely dry.
After all the workpieces have dried, we pierce the balls with a needle and remove them. We lay out all the workpieces in the form of a wreath on the working surface and connect them together with a glue gun.
Only after complete drying we attach a satin ribbon to the wreath and hang it on the door or on the window.
Easter tree
Instead of a wreath for decoration, you can make an unusual Easter tree. There are many different ideas that you can implement yourself.
In this case, for work, we need:
- twine;
- scissors;
- pot;
- flour;
- water;
- salt;
- branches
- felt-tip pens;
- paints;
- the form;
- tubules;
- parchment;
- rolling pin.
We will make the main decor from salt dough. Therefore, to begin with, mix the flour with salt, as well as with water and knead the dough. If necessary, add the ingredients to achieve the desired consistency. We put a piece of parchment on the working surface and roll out the dough on it. Using the mold we make blanks for future decor.
Carefully remove the excess dough, and then pierce the holes with the help of tubes on each workpiece. Leave them for several hours so that they harden.
We paint each blank with paints, and also use the felt-tip pens to make drawings.
We cut off several pieces of twine and tie them to the blanks one at a time.
We install dry branches in a pot of earth and evenly distribute them. Only after that we hang color blanks. Stylish easter composition is ready!
Festive Egg Decor
Of course, on the eve of Easter, many decorate chicken eggs. There are many different ways, so we picked up the most interesting and original of them.
You will need the following:
- eggs
- beads of different colors or decorative powder;
- stand;
- glue;
- brush;
- small capacity.
On natural or artificial eggs we apply glue with a brush. And roll them well in pre-prepared beads or dusting powder.
Leave the eggs on a stand until completely dry.
As a decor for eggs, you can use literally everything. In this case, we offer to decorate them with pasta in an original way.
For work, we will prepare the following materials:
- eggs
- stand;
- small pasta;
- PVA glue;
- paint;
- brushes;
- sparkles.
Apply glue on top of the egg and distribute the pasta at our discretion. Leave them on the stand for several hours to dry the workpiece.
We color the eggs in any shade and leave them to dry. After that, in certain places we apply glue and sprinkle with sparkles. After 15 minutes, leftovers can be shaken off.
The result is a rather interesting and original home decor, which can be folded into a basket.
Eggs decorated with threads look no less attractive. In this case, you just need to apply glue on the foam egg and gradually wrap it with thread.
Gradually, you can change the hue, so that as a result you get a kind of gradient.
As a decor, you can safely use various shades of thread, sparkles, small-sized flowers and much more. Try to show imagination and bring ideas to life.

Vertical stripes are slightly bent and fixed on the opposite side.
We add one more strip in the form of a handle and attach it with a stapler to one of the sides.
