DIY – Easy Spring and Easter Decorations

Spring has sprung and Easter is just around the corner.

I love decorating for Spring and Easter. There is such a difference between decorating for Winter and Christmas then decorating for Spring and Easter.

Spring and Easter decorations are full of fresh pastel colors. They are like a breath of fresh air mixed with sunshine after long and cold winter. Decorating for Spring gives you this burst of energy and makes your house come alive.

There are so many ways to decorate for Spring and Easter. I love the fact that Spring is the time of the year you can incorporate beautiful Spring flowers, fresh grass and blooming tree branches into your decorations.

Every Spring I love to decorate my house with Cherry Blossoms.

Decorating for Spring

Every Spring when I see my neighbor pruning his cherry orchard I run out there and collect the branches. The buds are just starting to come out. It takes few days inside and the whole house looks like a cherry orchard in bloom.

This Spring I decided to decorate my cherry blossoms with homemade Easter cookies.

You can make this beautiful decoration as a part of your decorating for Spring and Easter this year as well. It’s easy. It’s fun. You can involve your children. It looks beautiful especially in few days when all the buds are in full bloom.

Supplies:

• Fruit Tree Cuttings with Starting Buds
• 12 Easter Decorated Cookies
• Pastel Colored Thin Ribbons

Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe. Cut out 12 cookies for decorating your branches. Using a regular drinking straw make a hole in the cookies before baking.

After your cookies are baked and decorated string ribbons through the holes. Tie with a bow and hang on the branches you arranged in a tall vase with fresh water.

In few days the buds will open up and the branches will be in full bloom and later covered in beautiful green leaves.

You can keep this arrangement around for over a month.
