Easter decoration: traditional motifs (33 photos)

Easter is a big holiday, so preparation for it is always serious both in terms of observing old traditions and in terms of creating a festive atmosphere. A feature of this holiday is table decoration and interior decoration. It will not do without the well-known painted eggs and fragrant Easter cake, as these dishes are not only the main ones on the festive table, but are also used as a decorating element.

How to create easter decoration yourself?

Before you start decorating the room, you must set it a special style. The traditions of the celebration of Easter in our country are practically no different from the European ones, however, there are some features. For example, in the West, the Easter rabbit is a symbol of this Orthodox holiday, and we have painted eggs. That is why it is important to determine the style of decoration.

Create a mysterious atmosphere and add bright colors to the interior will allow fresh wildflowers. Small bouquets in miniature vases or stands, representing the spring and warmth, perfectly complement any interior.

In our time, easter wreaths are popular, consisting of plants, flowers, natural materials and other decorating elements - they can be purchased in specialized decor stores or made by yourself. This will require hot glue, selected items, wire, stickers, buttons and beads.

Such wreaths wonderfully decorate doors, a festive table and walls, and can also be given as a gift to friends and relatives. Together with a wreath of live plants you will present a good and festive mood.

The original decor idea is an Easter garland that can be created from any means at hand. For the manufacture of such a garland, decorative quail eggs (made of foam or plastic), figures of animals and birds, symbolizing Easter (rabbits, chickens or birds) are used. Such a garland will not leave indifferent any guest, forcing to draw attention to itself. You can decorate the surface of the room (tables, cabinets, shelves) with willow branches, creating simulated nests and baskets, decorated with fabric toys in the form of birds, eggs and flowers.

Earlier, spring was greeted with the help of spring trees - so why not create them for Easter and decorate with special paraphernalia! Such trees can be placed on the floor, flower stands and other surfaces.

Sewing decorative toys from burlap or other fabric should be given special attention. On the Internet you can find patterns of absolutely any toys that will appeal to you: it’s easy to sew them, and ready-made decorations for Easter will be pleasing to the eye throughout the holiday week. Making a festive table for Easter does not do without decorative candles in the form of eggs. They can also be made on their own by pouring molten wax into the eggshell.

You can also create mini vases for snowdrops or other small flowers from egg shells painted with acrylics of gold, silver or yellow.

Do not be afraid to improvise, creating decor for Easter from improvised materials - show your imagination, and the result will certainly delight you!

Decorating Eggs for Easter

By tradition, we are used to dyeing eggs for Easter with food colors and onion husks, as well as decorating them with special films. All these methods allow you to quickly achieve the expected result, but every year you want to create something original and new.

Experienced designers have created several original ways to decorate eggs:

• "Old traditions." Our great-grandmothers even thought up boiling eggs in husks from onions, but a little later people realized that incredibly beautiful “dyes” are obtained if miniature flowers, parsley leaves and other elements are glued to the shell before boiling. This method of decorating eggs is popular in our days.
• Decor easter eggs with yarn. This option for decorating eggs is suitable only if they are not planned to be eaten. For this, it is not necessary to use real eggs - they can be replaced with plastic or foam (they can be easily purchased on the eve of the holiday in the market or in any store). Glue the yarn to the eggs using hot glue. To get a pattern you need to alternate the colors of the yarn.
• "Magic Confetti." The most affordable and easy way to create bright and attractive Easter eggs. To do this, cut out several circles of different sizes from colored or shiny paper and glue them with PVA glue to the egg shell.
• Bead decoration of eggs. This option for decorating Easter eggs is considered painstaking and quite expensive, but the result is worth it. However, now on sale, in addition to confectionery powder, there are sweet beads that can be used not only to decorate the top of Easter cakes, but also for eggs as well.
• Decoupage. For many, this way of decorating Easter paraphernalia is difficult, but in fact there is nothing difficult here. It is enough to find a beautiful napkin with the image of flowers, plants or animals and cut them out, and then with glue stick to the eggshell.
• Making edible eggs from other products. Eggs in a chocolate shell will look original, but the filling can consist of cottage cheese and canned peach in the form of a circle resembling an egg yolk in appearance. Not a single guest will refuse such a treat, especially children.
• Simple patterns. You can paint eggs with ordinary multi-colored gel pens or watercolors. A student will do this task perfectly, as he must have practiced it in labor lessons.
• Lacy eggs. You can create unique lace patterns with the help of fabric lace, wrapping eggs in them and lowering them in a solution with food coloring.

As you can see, there are many options for decorating Easter eggs. The main thing is to have a rich imagination and boldly involve children in this surprisingly interesting occupation. There is nothing more exciting than the participation of little entertainers in the creation of Easter home decor.

DIY Easter decoration for the festive table

In this case, special attention should be paid to its serving, the choice of cutlery, napkins and cooking themed dishes. In addition to Easter cakes and eggs, you can bake fragrant shortbread cookies in the form of chickens, eggs and rabbits, decorated with colorful glaze and bright pastry topping.

It is not necessary to choose napkins for the festive table with thematic drawings - just make a hare out of them (schemes are available on the Internet). To create a unique festive atmosphere in the room, you can build a small decorative Christmas tree from ordinary brushes for washing bottles and decorate it with wicker baskets or makeshift nests with eggs.

Do-it-yourself easter decor from yarn always complements the interior with coziness.
