This is how you decorate an Easter tree

When you think of Easter, you probably associate it with bunnies, Easter eggs, and a sweet array of pastel shades. Did you know that in some parts of the world they also have an Easter tree? It's a festive way to welcome spring and a chance to get involved in an age-old tradition. Bring the season indoors this year with a colorful Easter tree, decorating it with bright lights, Easter eggs, spring flowers, colorful bird feathers and more.

This beloved tradition, first created centuries ago in Germany and Austria, began in nature with communities adorning large living trees. In response to the Coronavirus quarantine, an Easter tree is a surefire way to brighten up everyone.

Here our tips for decorating an Easter tree:

  • Select a color theme that says spring — for example, paint and decorate hollow eggs in gold and yellow with a bold hue of red, blue, or green. Or tap into your inner hippie with tie-dye eggs!
  • Use a variety of egg sizes - from small to large and eggs of different colors - brown and white for a tree that shows the creative side of your family.
  • Consider funny finger puppets and colorful plastic eggs with a tasty treat. Hang them up and you'll put a smile on every face.
  • Make the Easter egg hunt tree central - the hunt starts there and flows all over the house and maybe on the balcony or in the garden.
  • Add spring flowers – daffodils, tulips, hyacinths.
  • Place the decorated tree in front of the window to share the illuminated joy with the neighbors.

Below are some examples of beautifully decorated Easter trees.
