Trees are probably the easiest decoration for any festive season. We have Christmas trees, New Year’s trees, Halloween trees, Valentine’s Day trees, Thanksgiving trees, and now Easter trees! So, why Easter trees? While this colorful tradition may seem like something straight out of a Southern story, it was actually first popularized by Germany.
In Germany, the tradition is known as Ostereierbaum, or Easter egg tree. It’s also popular in neighboring Poland, Austria, and Hungary. Because this is a great decoration that is not difficult to make and will have a big impact on the room. Let’s take a look at some Easter trees, how to make them, and how to decorate them yourself!
Easter Egg Tree Traditions
The tradition of decorating an Easter tree is a unique way to celebrate the holiday season. If you like the idea of an Easter egg tree, you can bring in growing branches such as dogwood, cherry blossom, forsythia, or pussy willow to hang the eggs, or buy a houseplant for your table. Place a few eggs among the greenery for added festivity. Other families bring the tradition indoors and display an Easter tree in their home to celebrate the season.
For those who like to display their art, you can blow and paint eggs like people have done for centuries. Some companies punch holes in both ends of plastic eggs for easy stringing. You can also tie a colorful ribbon around the center of a halved plastic egg, then close it tightly to keep the strands in place. Whatever eggs you use, consider their weight, as you don’t want to weigh down your tree or branches.
Easter Tree Decorations
Easter trees from can be made in the easiest and cheapest way. You can take some green or flowering branches, real or fake, and decorate them with Easter eggs, bunnies, pompoms and other items you like for a spring look. Some Easter ornaments like fake eggs, bunnies, and birds can be made by yourself to decorate your branches or tree. These decorations can be made for any room according to its color and style. Fake branches will last longer, while real branches will give a fresher feel to your decoration.
