Bought some tulips from the grocery store and put them in a jar. Filled some cute vases with that fun fake

grass and some store-bought easter eggs. Put it all together with a springy tablecloth and we’re good to go!

Filling a rustic watering can with pink tulips, greenery, and pastel blue eggshells is the perfect decoration for spring. Stuff the watering can with floral foam to secure the stems. Add picks to blown-out eggshells to secure them as well. When you’re finished creating the arrangement, wire it to your front door and cover the wire with ribbon.

To keep flowers fresh, put the stems in water vials or heavy plastic bags filled with floral foam powder, available at floral supply stores.

A tumble of pastel eggs is an Easter craft for kids that makes a cheery welcome at the front door. Wrap plastic foam egg shapes (available at crafts supply stores) with strips of crepe paper, attaching ends with glue or a small straight pin. Embellish with ribbon secured using small straight pins, leaving a long end for tying. Gather eggs at varying heights and tie ribbons together. Hang from a removable adhesive hook or wreath hanger, and add a ribbon bow to complete the Easter decoration.

If you haven’t started the tradition of growing your own Easter grass, it’s time to begin. Not only is it far more environmentally friendly than the plastic scraps you use to fill your children’s baskets, but it’s a great holiday activity to do together. How-to by ecoki
