I love these commemorative days throughout the year for many reasons, but most of all it’s because people get very creative. There’s something really unique about how inspired we get to decorate and celebrate these small (or big) occasions.
Easter is one of those times we tend to go a little bigger - and I can only assume you got here because you want to go big too, right? Check out these Easter egg decorating ideas that will make your holiday beautiful and fun!
“Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life." - Janine di Giovanni
Cactus
Cactus are the most adorable plants ever, I simply love them and I even have some decorating my window ledge! Of course, these have a bit of a twist since they’re actually made out of eggshells. They are really easy to make and a great way to spend the afternoon doing arts and crafts.
Give a look at the materials and instructions to get started on your cute Easter decoration!

They’re also really easy to make:
- Paint the egg with a light tan color
- Paint the top with an ice cream color of your choice, remember to create the rounded scallops in the middle
- Use a pink sharpie to give your cone some details
- Use a black sharpie to draw cute faces
