With Spring in the air, it’s time to turn our attention to getting the garden and porch looking lovely for Easter. The best way to do this is by decorating with items such as eggs, chickens and other items that represent the season. You could fill outdoor lanterns with pretty flowers or make bunny planters with the kids. Another idea is to make an egg topiary which will really make your porch look fancy.
You can decorate a ladder with egg shaped lights and welcoming signs. The best thing about using a ladder for decor is that it has steps that serve as ‘shelves’ and also it can be switched out for the different seasons by swapping the decorations.
This stacked egg planter is the perfect Easter decoration to make your home feel cheerful and inviting.
Supplies
- Large plastic Easter eggs (various sizes)
- Acrylic paints or spray paint (in pastel colors)
- Decorative stickers, ribbons, or flowers
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Wooden dowel or PVC pipe (for support)
- Large planter or pot (filled with floral foam or sand)
- Artificial greenery and mini eggs (for extra decoration)
- Drill or sharp knife (to make small holes for the dowel)
Instructions
Adorn the eggs with paint or stickers. You can also add patterns or ribbons to make them look even nicer. Next, use a wooden dowel or PVC pipe as a stand for the eggs. Make small holes in the bottom of each egg and slide them onto the dowel.
Then, put the dowel into a planter filled with foam or sand. Start stacking the eggs on top, with the biggest one at the bottom and the smallest on top. Use hot glue to keep them in place.
Finally, make the planter look even more festive by adding fake plants and mini eggs at the bottom.
