Ideas to decorate your home for Easter

With a long weekend on our hands this week thanks to Good Friday, here are some easy and cost-effective ways to decorate your home for Easter.

• Decorate eggs – Go beyond the usual dying of eggs with coloring.  Create themes by painting your eggs in various colors and patterns.  Add dimensions by gluing on flowers or buttons.  For more egg inspirations, check out https://www.countryliving.com/diy-crafts/how-to/g1282/easter-egg-decorating-ideas/.
   
• Flowers – It is officially Spring season, so decorate your house with all the colors of Easter.  Add daffodils, daisies, and tulips to your home.  Not only will this help decorate for Easter, but it will also freshen your home.

• Wreaths & Trees – Wreaths & trees are no longer just decorations for Christmas.  Many people leave a tree out all year long by simply changing the decorations.  You can purchase a pre-decorated mini-Easter tree or simply make your own with a few branches and homemade tiny decorations or pops of spring colors.  Wreaths can now be hung on the doors throughout the different seasons & holidays.  Here are some Easter wreath ideas from Pinterest. https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=easter%20wreaths&rs=typed&0=easter%7Ctyped&1=wreaths%7Ctyped.
   
• The Table – If nothing else, Easter-inspired décor on your table is a must.  Use splashes of pastels for color.  Add those beautifully decorated eggs as a centerpiece.  For more ideas, see the Better Homes & Gardens article https://www.bhg.com/holidays/easter/decorating/easter-table-setting-ideas/?slide=slide_61ba1c19-2bbb-4572-a94f-0b532ed6d3f6#slide_61ba1c19-2bbb-4572-a94f-0b532ed6d3f6.

Whatever your family traditions are for the upcoming holiday, we wish you a happy Easter and a safe long weekend.
