How to make an Easter tree - 3 tips
Create an original centrepiece for your Easter table setting with a traditional Easter tree.
What do you need to make your own Easter tree?
Unlike Christmas trees, Easter trees tend to be small enough to stand on the Easter table or a sideboard, spreading some much appreciated Easter joy. It is simple to make your own Easter tree at home, we will show you how. All you need is:
- A Base
- Branches
- Decorations
The Base
First you must decide on a base for your traditional Easter tree. Consider what type of feeling you want to achieve with your Easter tree, do you want to add a splash of colour with your Easter arrangement, or do you want to keep it pared back and simple? In Scandinavia it is most common to use living branches in a vase filled with water. The shape of the vase will also affect the arrangement. A rounder vase with a wide base will cause the branches to splay out creating a wide display whereas a taller, narrower vase will keep the branches more compact.
For something smaller and more pared back make an Easter tree in the Rope vase from DBKD.
The Branches
Almost anything can make up the branches of your Easter tree. For a touch of colour and a real spring feeling, branches that are in bloom such as forsythia, cherry blossom, dogwood or pussy willow work perfectly. You can even mix the branches in with some spring flowers for some extra colour or why not create a cute birds nest and fill it with easter decorations or even a chocolate surprise for the little ones?
Elegant branches of pussy willow are a popular choice for the Easter tree in Scandinavia, the cute fury buds are perfect to stop the decorations sliding down the branch.
For added adorable factor weave together some smaller branches into a birds nest and balance it in your Easter tree.
The Decorations
The most traditional way to decorate your Easter tree is with hanging eggs and colourful feathers. Delicate glass eggs like these fromferm LIVING add a hint of colour and reflect the light beautifully, break from tradition with some easter figurines or why not have some fun and get the kids involved to make some decorations of your own?
