I love a good Easter tree. In fact, it is one of the most prominent memories I have of spring decorations throughout my home growing up. The gentle rhythm of gathering sticks or fresh blooming branches, arranging them in a vase and decorating with handmade decorations never gets old, always bringing me back to past Easter celebrations. So, when I stumbled upon the prettiest light blue eggs in the grocery store, I immediately knew they deserved a showcase on an Easter tree. Thus was born the idea of little egg vases full of fresh flowers to create the easiest DIY floral Easter tree. With just a few supplies (which you probably already have on hand!) and a little time (less than 30 minutes!) you too can create such a fun floral filled tree perfect for both your Easter celebrations and your spring decor. Here’s how to make them! 

Materials 

These materials are highly flexible depending on the style and design of the Easter tree you would like. Feel free to use your creativity to create your own designs or to use materials you have already! 

• Eggs – I used a mix of brown and blue real eggs (and made a quiche with the contents!), but you could use faux eggs or plastic eggs instead 
• Branches – bare or blooming, real or faux, there are so many options for branches to use! Here, I simply collected a few from the yard
• String – I used thin white string, like cooking twine, but you could use ribbons, traditional twine, or even embroidery thread
• Flowers – I highlighted what I already had blooming in my yard (daffodils, yellow jasmine, azaleas etc.) but you could purchase flowers as well. Just be sure they are fairly dainty and not too heavy for the eggs 
• Hot glue 
• Vase 

Steps 

With just a few steps, your floral Easter tree will be ready! The duration of this DIY largely depends on how many egg vases you decide to make, though I made 7 egg vases and assembled the tree in about 30 minutes. 

1 – To begin, crack each egg towards the top to leave as much of the shell intact as possible. Empty out the contents (to save for recipes!) and repeat for as many egg vases as you’d like for your tree. 

2 – Once all of your eggs are emptied, wash them out with soap and water and set them upside down on a paper towel lined surface to dry. 

3 – While the eggs are drying, cut two pieces of twine (if using a thin twine) about 8 inches long to make the egg basket handle. Tie one end and twist the two strands together. To keep the twist from coming undone, tie the remaining end together as well. 

4 – After creating the handle, cut a small piece of string and tie it into a bow. Repeat for a second bow.

5 – Next, begin assembling your egg vase basket by hot gluing one end of the handle to one side of the egg, about a third of the way down from the shell opening. Once attached, glue the other handle end to the opposite side of the egg, ensuring they are glued at about the same height level on the egg. 

6 – When the handle is attached, add small dots of hot glue right below the knots and attach the bows. Your egg vase basket is finished! 

7 – After all of your egg vases are finished, arrange the branches together in a vase. Disperse the egg vases throughout the tree and fill them a third of the way full with water. 

8 – Using a light hand, place the flowers into the egg vases, ensuring the stems are tucked in the water for the flowers to last as long as possible. 

9 – Make any tweaks if needed then step back to admire your floral Easter tree! Continue to refresh the water in the egg vases as needed and enjoy your creation! 

Final Thoughts 

With less than 10 steps, this DIY is truly so easy and budget friendly, while providing whimsical spring decoration! I have loved the cheerful blooms hanging in the little eggs and my daughter has been absolutely TAKEN with the Easter tree. It’s sweet to think that perhaps these might be her signal of spring one day in the future when she thinks back on her own childhood. Regardless, whether you are looking for a fun DIY to do with your family this year or want a last minute centerpiece idea to tackle before Easter lunch, I highly recommend trying out this floral Easter tree with these easy egg vase baskets!

Happy Easter!
