Some cheap and easy Easter decorations for 2022
Cupcake Liner Wreath (Painted)
Decorate your front door with this painted cupcake liner wreath to show it some love. White cupcake liners, a white foam wreath shape, acrylic paint, craft brushes, a drop cloth, and white sewing pins with white caps are all required.
Take the following steps:
- Cover your work space with a drop cloth. By drawing brush strokes on the borders of the cupcake liners, paint each one a different color (keeping the center white for a ‘flower effect.’)
- Allow to dry completely.
- Once dry, use a pin in the center to secure your painted cupcake liners to the foam wreath form. To make a more dynamic wreath, alternate the colors.
- Display it for all to see!
Beaded Carrot Wreath
Guests will love seeing this beaded carrot wreath at your front door (and the Easter Bunny will too). What You’ll Need: colored eggs, natural egg carton, scissors, acrylic paint, craft brush, yellow felt triangles, hot glue and colored feathers
Steps to Follow:
- Lay down drop cloth on your work area.
- Paint each wood bead orange and let them dry.
- Bend one end of the floral wire over with your wire cutters to create a stopping point for the beads.
- Thread each bead onto the floral wire starting with the smallest and work your way up to the largest size.
- Bend the floral wire over and cut the excess.
- Cut a small bunch of the excelsior all one length using your scissors.
- Stick the excelsior into the top hole. If you want to add more than what fits in the hole, dab a little hot glue on top of the bead and add more excelsior.
- Repeat steps 2-7 for your desired number of carrots.
Flowers from Coffee Filters
Make these floral candy dishes with coffee filters, which you probably already have on hand.
How to make: Submerge regular-size white coffee filters (four to six per bloom) in a watered-down Rit Dye solution (here, Petal Pink) and allow to dry completely. Cut out various-sized flower forms and stack them from largest to smallest. Glue the centers together with craft glue. Glue a paper-mâché or store-bought candy cup to the middle of each sheet of paper. Fill with candied fruity.
Display of Easter Grass
This display can be made in just 5 minutes!
To make, simply plant wheatgrass in milk glass vessels like the sugar dish, goblet, and vase pictured here (available at garden stores or flower shops). To stay fresh, drink as much water as you need. Simply attach a card to each handle of a sugar dish to construct a lovely placecard holder.

Flower Eggs that have been dried

Take the following steps:
- Apply dots of craft glue to the egg with your craft brush.

- Fold around 14 inches from the bottom of the triangle and flip it over to repeat until you’ve made an accordion all the way to the tip.
- Fold the accordion-folded paper in half and use a strip of double stick tape to join the two middle sections.
- Rep the steps above with different sizes of leaves and different colors of paper.
- Start with the larger leaves and hot glue a few down in different directions on the bottom, then stack smaller leaves on top. Add a few paper or imitation flowers to finish it off.
