For relatives and friends.

First of all, what we pay attention to is the table and its decoration. Therefore, be sure to think about what you will have there as a decoration, and how the dishes are decorated. I know that sometimes fantasy is not enough, so I share my findings.

It seemed interesting to me to break stereotypes and cook an Easter cake in the form of a rabbit, you can decorate it coconut flakes. The ears are made of paper, but you can cast them from white chocolate.

Or bake cookies in the form of symbols of this day: eggs, rabbits, Easter cakes. I love the idea of ​​multi-colored icing.

A holiday will not come without Easter cake, but you can also decorate it beautifully. If there is a ribbon or lace, then just tie it. Yes, you can read more in the article of the same name.

In the form of eggs diversify any table. They look very unusual, so they will raise many questions from guests, and children will have a storm of emotions because of the delicate sweet taste.

Of course, you need a lot, it's quite interesting. Many techniques have already been created for decorating the shell, depending on the pattern, you can make pysanky, specks or use the decoupage technique. It is important to know that when decorating eggs for this holiday, they do not use black, it symbolizes oblivion, which in Holy holiday not needed at all.

More edible decoration maybe in the form of yeast baskets, look how appetizing this decor looks.

Now let's move on to where the main table decoration in the form of eggs and Easter cakes will be placed. For this they make special ones. They can be ready-made, bought in a store, or maybe you will tie it yourself.

Or sew from felt. Cut paper, branches or straw are placed inside.

Fancy napkins will help decorate the table. Skilled craftswomen fold them in the shape of eared ones.

If you liked this idea, then I suggest using this step-by-step scheme.

And here's another funny one. It is done very simply and notice how your mood immediately rises when you start looking at it.

Wooden egg cups in the shape of a rabbit and a chicken look great on the table.

You can make them yourself from plywood using a file. But it is better to order from the masters.

And, if you want to create with your own hands, then create a stand from egg trays. What only of them do not! And baskets and even flowers.

For those who highly appreciate restraint and elegance in the interior, I suggest using glass vases or bowls and filling them with krashenkas. If you get confused, then you can paint the eggs in one tone with its different saturation to get a gradient effect.

A more childish idea with jars for bulk products.

Or such an idea with a bunny silhouette and a cute tail.

For younger guests, a prepared present in the form of rabbits will be interesting. By the way, it is not necessary to put sweets inside, because now many parents do not allow their children to eat them.

And you can, as in the old days, cover the table with a white tablecloth with embroidered symbols and put willows in a vase. And already the soul becomes happier and the onset of the holiday is felt.

Easter is always associated with flowers, warmth and family comfort, so take an hour of your time to beautifully decorate the table, because this is remembered not only for you, but also forms the perception of the holiday in children.

Easter home decor ideas from improvised materials

You can not stop at the design of the table, but go to decorate the whole house. A couple of festive elements will remind you of the upcoming day and fill you with the joy of anticipation. For example, you can hang garlands in the form of felt chickens on the walls.

Christmas wreaths are usually hung on the door, or they can be replaced with Easter wreaths in the form of a circle or a hare.

You can use any fabric, it is better if the material from which the suspensions are made is natural, use plaits, wood, burlap. Or, for example, a linen rabbit.

Or from willows.

You can make a fabric imitation of eggs and use them as design elements.

By April, the branches begin to be covered with the first greenery, but what if you use them for a festive composition.

Of course, not only the branches turn green, but also the flowers bloom with the advent of spring. Therefore, combining Easter symbols with flowers is also very appropriate, and even beautiful.

If you use eggshells as decorations, then you need to pull out the protein and yolk through a small hole. Pour melted paraffin inside and insert a wick, then cute candlesticks made of real eggs will decorate your table or nightstand.

Figures made of natural materials will wonderfully fit into any even complex interior, for example, rabbits made of wood or ceramics will create an additional zest.

What if we decorate the windows? Shell pendants with flowers. The idea is very unusual, but immediately attracts attention.

If you don't want to bother with the shell, then fix the images of chickens, flowers, trees or rabbits on the glass.

If you use paper for these purposes, then fix it on toothpaste, which can be easily washed from glass.

For needlewomen, I suggest embroidering decor. For example, cross stitch on canvas.

Or crochet, especially since there are a lot of patterns now.

For embroidery, I immediately give several thematic schemes so that you can immediately start creating.

Interesting decor idea. This is a fantasy tree that is created from improvised materials. It usually has a thick trunk and a plentiful crown.

Easter trees are very popular in the West, because everyone loves Easter, and celebrate it different nations differently. It is not customary for us to create such trees, because we are used to putting willows. But, why not take a closer look at this element of decor?

Twigs are placed in vases, pots, buckets and even pans. The main thing is to fix them well and pick up a light decor that cannot outweigh the entire composition.

Easter bunnies came to us from Germany, and despite the fact that this symbol is not in our Easter, children really liked it. You can make it from any fabric, and fill it with cotton wool, synthetic winterizer or rag scraps.

And I couldn't get past pasta! This decor will definitely decorate the red corner with icons, and indeed any house in general. This idea is also interesting because pasta is sold in different shapes, so you can come up with very openwork compositions.

It won’t work for paint either, there are a lot of silver and gold paint on sale, which is in the form of aerosols or gels.

Basically, walls and windows are decorated throughout the house. After all, it is possible even from Christmas garland lay an egg on the wall and turn it on in the evenings, it will immediately become clear that Easter can be expected and celebrated no worse than the New Year itself.

Master class on how to braid an egg with beads

Beaded eggs became very popular. This work is very painstaking, but it turns out a real treasure. After all, you can use not only the beads themselves, but also beads or long glass beads.

How to make such an egg, see the video, where the needlewoman describes in great detail each step of the work, and even shares the diagrams.

This work is very painstaking, not everyone can create from beads, so I know that such testicles are even put up for sale. There are a lot of people who want to buy them as decoration or a present.

Craft floating bowl for the interior

Another unusual version of Easter decor is a floating bowl. To make the composition look light, use mugs made of porcelain or good ceramics with white enamel.

We will need:

• tea pair,
• thick wire,
• Hot glue,
• Decor.

The first step is to connect the bowl and saucer. To do this, use a thick wire. Whether she will be in isolation or not is up to you. But under the weight of the bowl, it definitely should not bend.

The edges are best fixed with liquid nails or hot glue.

If you can't find the wire, use a thick aluminum fork or spoon so you can bend it the way you want.

And start putting decor on the glue. These can be artificial flowers, fabric or foam eggs. You can even add figurines of animals here, it will also turn out interesting.

For example, in this bowl, a bunny wonderfully fits under a waterfall of flowers and foam eggs.

Grass, moss or branches are also laid on the bottom of the bowl, the main thing is that the saucer does not look out much.

Ideas for decorating a room with children

It is necessary to form an attitude towards the holiday from childhood, so spend the evening and decorate his room with your child. Your desire and good-natured mood are important here, and I will help you with ideas.

For the little ones, I suggest making cute themed applications and decorating the walls with them.

Chickens and eggs are easiest to make, and you can use paper, cotton pads, or baking napkins.

Also, to create a bright garland, you only need paper and thread. From paper we cut out wings and a head, and from threads we make the simplest pompoms. To create them, use a regular fork.

For older children, I propose to make a composition of threads and PVA glue.

To do this, the balloon is inflated. And a thread is tightly wound around it, richly moistened with glue.

After the thread has completely dried, the ball bursts, and we get a thread circle. We cut holes on its side and begin to decorate. Easter symbols in the form of eggs or rabbits are placed inside.

Create a basket of foamiran.

You will need a circle for the bottom, and a long strip equal to the circumference of the bottom. This strip will be the sides of the basket.

It is better to glue all the details for good fixation with hot glue.

I also propose to create wall decor in the nursery from paper or felt. If you choose felt, then give preference to thicker cuts. At least 2mm thick.

You can print the above diagram to make it faster.

I will also give a few more ideas from felt. After all, this is a very simple material for any kind of creativity.

Soft spring birds on barbecue skewers can be put in a bowl of semolina. The groats will not let the decor fall, and the birds themselves will decorate the cabinet, chest of drawers or table of the child.

Another similar idea, only an element of eggs is introduced.

Not felt? Take any bright fabric and sew voluminous Easter eggs out of it.

I know that the children in the rooms are full of elements from Kinders, let's put them into action and create cute chickens.

For an Easter tree from willows and branches, you can make light suspensions of their salt dough or gypsum.

In general, as you can see, you can create very cute decorations with children. And for this now a lot various materials: they sculpt from clay, fill the molds with plaster, do decoupage and quilling. You can create decor on any theme and in any color scheme.

Decor in five minutes: paper coasters

The fastest design option is created from paper. This option is always relevant and suitable for both adults and children. And it consists in creating stands.

You can use the most common paper egg trays. Cut the cells, paint them in the desired color and fill them with straw or branches. They are laid out inside the eggs, this basket symbolizes the nest. Yes, and in general it turns out a beautiful and convenient thing.

Another paper coaster idea. For example, with images of domestic animals: a sheep, a chicken and a rabbit. Very simple, but immediately eye-catching. Of course, each stand can be signed to make personalized gifts. After all, it is customary for us to give gifts to relatives and friends.

You can use these templates.

Or maybe these are the names of the animals themselves? How do you think?

Regardless of which decor option you choose, the main thing is to tune in to the festive wave and enjoy the pleasant chores and making gifts and crafts. This is not only home decoration, but also self-realization!

Easter is great Christian holiday, it is celebrated not only by Orthodox and Catholics, but also by other representatives of branches of this denomination. This is a holiday when relatives and friends gather, give each other beautifully painted eggs and communicate. To create a festive mood for yourself and your guests, it will not be superfluous to decorate the house for Easter with your own hands. There are many options for how to do this, everyone can choose something to their liking.

A bit of history

In the two main branches of Christianity - Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Easter is celebrated a little differently. This is due to the customs and traditions of the peoples, as well as historical background.

In Russia and neighboring countries, it is celebrated for a week. It ends with the Red Hill holiday, when it is customary to roll eggs and beat on them. On Easter week, people come to visit each other, visit the temple, go to the graveyard to remember the deceased relatives, paint eggs. Traditional dishes on this religious holiday are Easter cake, a product made from cottage cheese called "Easter", pies. The tradition of widely celebrating this bright religious holiday is currently being actively revived, after the era of militant atheism in Russia.

In Western countries, Easter is also one of the favorite and long-awaited holidays. At this time, make sure to attend church by wearing new clothes. People exchange eggs, but not chicken, but chocolate filled with caramel. Popular table dishes in the west are Easter cake, meat with vegetables, and various salads. It is customary to gather with the whole family, congratulate each other, wishing happiness and good luck on this spring holiday.

Decorating your home for Easter is a very important and interesting part of the pre-holiday fuss.

Among other things, Easter is a real spring holiday and I really want to decorate my house with warm, joyful and bright themed decor by this day.

Traditions Easter decorations we and Europe are almost the same. Perhaps the only differences are the easter bunny in the west, and we have our traditional pysanky.

• Easter table decor

• Easter trees

So for home decorations for easter the most commonly used decoration is associated with the three Easter symbols. But not only. So, for example, one of the most popular Easter decors is wicker basket .

Why a basket? Because eggs are traditionally laid in it. You can buy a few simple inexpensive baskets, decorate them with colorful ribbons and flowers. Fill with artificial grass and colored eggs. Arrange these baskets around the house and enjoy the comfort and spring mood.

Wreaths, nests, Easter trees. Birds make nests from dry twigs and blades of grass. The same items, as well as flowers, ribbons, artificial multi-colored eggs and some other elements are used to Easter decor , making wreaths on the door, decorative installations and Easter trees .

The Easter tree is one of the most beautiful Easter home decors. Making such a tree is not difficult: you can take a few branches and insert them into a pot filled with wet sand or small pebbles. To keep the branches firmly, you can lay a layer of plasticine on the bottom of the pot and fix the ends of the branches on it. The branches themselves are decorated with colorful ribbons, plastic eggs, small nests with chicks, etc.

Easter decor bird theme. Since we are talking about nests and trees, it is worth mentioning the birds themselves. It is also one of the most popular Easter decors . figurines of birds decorate the house for Easter . They also decorate the holiday table. For serving, "thematic" dishes are used - in the form of a bird or decorated with images of birds.

Another bird-related Easter decor is the birdhouse. Multi-colored birdhouses made of plywood or cardboard are hung in window openings from inside the dwelling. Birdhouses decorate window sills and chests of drawers. You can also buy a candlestick in the shape of a birdhouse.

Easter Bunny. Even more than birds are popular easter bunnies . A variety of rabbits are taken from the pantries of Western houses and installed throughout the house.

Do-it-yourself "rabbit" decor for Easter - find a stencil or draw a silhouette of a rabbit yourself by making a template. According to the pattern, transfer the silhouette to thick colored paper and cut out as much as possible paper figurines making a garland out of them. Such a garland can decorate windows for Easter or hang it on a chandelier above the festive table.

The holiday table itself can be decorated paper napkins depicting rabbits and cloth napkins, folded in a special way (in the form of a rabbit).

Bunny from a napkin. Click on the image to see it in full size

Rabbits love carrots, so carrots are also used for Easter decoration . Paper, plastic or soft fabric carrots are hung like a garland or decorated with an Easter tree.

Flowers and grass. One of the symbols of Easter is Renewal. In spring, nature is renewed - fresh grass appears, everything blooms. Therefore, not a single Easter decor can do without flowers. The most popular flowers for Easter are tulips. Wildflowers, though not so beautiful, are very touching and tender. In general, any flowers are suitable, the main thing is that they are fresh.

Grass can be both real and artificial. artificial grass for Easter decor you can do it yourself - take green (to simulate fresh grass) or beige (to simulate dried grass) paper and cut it into long strips. Collect the strips in one messy pile and lay it on the bottom of the basket, which will stand in the center of the table, or the box in which the Easter Bunny will sit.

Easter eggs. Easter eggs are good on their own. But for interior decorations for easter use a variety of decorative elements - both from eggs (or rather, eggshells), and in the form of eggs. For example, they sell candles and candlesticks in the shape of eggs, “fried eggs” plates, egg-shaped vases, etc.

Many elements can be made by hand. For example, candles in a shell. To do this, you need to cook whole halves of the shell, wash them. Then you need to crumble the finished candle, melt the wax, prepare the wick and fill the shell with wax.

Eggs for hangings and garlands can be made from plasticine, then wrapped in foil.

To make an Easter decor from threads, you need to inflate a small balloon, coat it with PVA glue, wrap it with a colored thread dipped in the same glue, and let it dry. After drying, the ball is pierced and carefully removed, and the thread ball keeps its shape.

Eggs can be felt, knitted, carved from wood. In general, there are many options - as they say, who is into what much.

Eggs can be made Easter crafts - rabbits and birds. Some elements can be cut out of paper and glued to the shell. But you can't do without painting with paint. It is better to make Easter crafts with children, and you can start already 2-3 weeks before Easter.

Easter decor: table setting for Easter

For serving the Easter table, textiles and dishes of spring colors are used - delicate, pastel: mostly pink, green, yellow and blue, as well as white. Rarely preferred blue and lilac.

Be sure to prepare flowers for the decoration of the festive table - preferably fresh.

In the West, there is a rule: to put on the table objects associated with all three Easter symbols: Renewal, Life and Light. That is, it will be enough to decorate the table with candles, flowers and a rabbit or figures of birds, butterflies.

Flowers - the best decoration any holiday, but Easter decor flower arrangements especially relevant. Decor with flowers will create a particularly joyful and spring atmosphere on Bright Sunday.

One of the most ancient and revered holidays of Christians is Easter. It is celebrated annually by millions of people around the world. For believers, this is the feast of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who took upon himself all the sins of mankind. On this day, adherents of Christianity gather in churches in order to pray and see a miracle - the descent of the Holy Fire. According to legend, he is able to heal both physical and mental ailments.

For most people, Easter is a bright spring holiday, when it is customary to give cute gifts, bake Easter cakes, paint eggs and decorate the house with spring attributes. But doing the same thing every year is boring, so we offer to diversify the preparation for your favorite holiday with fun and beautiful crafts which you can easily and quickly do with your own hands.

Easter eggs

Remember how our grandmothers dyed eggs with onion skins? The shell turned out uniformly red. This, of course, is a tradition, but you want something unusual.

Let's start with color.

We paint eggs with natural materials

As the grandmother did - boil the onion peel for half an hour and let the resulting mass stand. Then we put raw eggs in it and cook until cooked. The saturation of the color depends on the amount of husk in the decoction. Here you can use eggs even with yellow shells. Do not forget to hold the already prepared eggs under cold water so that the skin easily leaves.

For later options it is better to use eggs with white shells, then the color will be clearer.

Green color obtained by using a decoction of nettle. Some advise adding spinach for saturation, but the color does not always turn out beautiful.

brown shade gives black tea or coffee. For more delicate flowers, use walnut shells.

yellow sun color an egg will gain if it is boiled in turmeric.

Pink color obtained from a decoction of cranberries. Only after cooking will you have to leave the eggs in the solution for a short time so that the color is brighter.

blue tint can also be obtained without resorting to chemical dyes. All you need is hibiscus tea.

Purple a little difficult to get, because you have to dye them in an infusion of violet flowers. Flowers should be poured with hot water, allowed to stand and boiled eggs soaked in it overnight. To get a fresh lavender shade, you should add lemon juice to the infusion.

simple easter egg decor

There is another easy coloring method. To obtain interesting drawings on the shell, without using artificial dyes, we need:

• Parsley or dill;
• Threads of various thicknesses;
• Rubber bands;
• Various cereals or small pasta (buckwheat, rice, oatmeal);
• Onion peel;
• Stocking.

Everything is simple here. We apply any of the materials to a wet egg, wrap it in a stocking and cook in any dye indicated above. Leaves will give beautiful natural patterns, threads and elastic bands - a geometric ornament, specks will turn out from cereals, and funny abstract stains from onion peel. You can combine colors and decorating methods to get a beautiful result.

To make the eggs shine beautifully, you can rub them with a small amount of vegetable oil.

Silk dyeing of Easter eggs

One of the most beautiful ways dyeing eggs is the so-called "silk dyeing". This method is now very quickly gaining popularity. One minus is that it is not entirely safe, so if there are cracks on the shell and the paint gets into them, it is better not to eat such an egg. For this we need:

• Pieces of natural silk with an ornament;
• Eggs with white shells;
• Threads;
• Vinegar;
• Saucepan;
• Water.

We take a piece of silk, wrap it around an egg, fix it on top with threads (you can use a plain non-shedding fabric) and cook in a saucepan with the addition of vinegar.

Egg wrapping

To do this, you need to prepare the egg, because this method is more suitable for decoration. You need to make two small holes on both sides of the egg and “blow out” its contents.

In order for the paint or glue to lay down evenly, it is worth wiping the shell with alcohol. Now you can create. We cover the entire surface with glue and dip, for example, in sparkles. We get an incredible iridescent decoration for any Easter basket. You can also use sprinkles for Easter cakes, rhinestones, small pasta, buttons, ropes, ribbons, gold leaf, sequins, colored sand and everything that comes to mind.

"Cosmic" beauty

We make a fashionable "space" egg with our own hands. For work you will need:

• Acrylic paint: black, white, blue, purple, gold (you can add more shades if desired);
• Sponge;
• Wide brush;
• Fine brush;
• Wand.

We take an empty shell, insert a stick into the hole - it's easier to hold the egg when painting. We apply black paint to the entire surface with a sponge. Before the paint is dry, apply with a brush or sponge Blue colour on part of the egg.

We make spots right away magenta on the still wet paint so that the edges are not clear. Shade a little. We apply a little gold and other shades to the desired result.

We dip a wide brush in white, remove excess paint with a napkin. Run your finger along the brush and gently sprinkle on the egg. Here come the stars.

With a thin brush, you can add stars to make constellations.

More Easter egg decorations

Easter crafts

Colored eggs are already familiar, what else can be built from improvised materials?

felt egg

Such cute decorations can be used as decor throughout the house. If to soft toys attach ribbons, they can be hung on a cornice, make a garland, decorate baskets with sweets or just give them to friends.

To make this charm is simple: cut out two identical oval bases from felt of any color. We decorate according to your taste with ribbons, buttons, embroidery, sequins, bows. We sew with a decorative seam with thick bright threads and stuff the toy with padding polyester or scraps of the same felt.

By the way, in the same way you can make little animals or birds and complement your home decor.

Easter wreath

A very fresh solution for Easter would be to create a delicate spring flower wreath. But it will fade quickly, you say. Now you will see how to quickly and easily create an artificial wreath that will not fade and can please the eye for a long time.

For work, we need quite a bit:

• Several empty egg cartons;
• Glue (possible PVA);
• Brush for glue;
• Scissors;
• thread from corrugated paper(these are used by florists and decorators);
• Little things for decor (artificial flowers, ribbons - optional).
