Easter is right around the corner and it provides a perfect opportunity to get creative with flowers. Especially in the U.P., Easter is finally our first real opportunity to enjoy a spring holiday. The month of April involves temperatures consistently staying warmer, snow melting, and beautiful flowers finally starting to bloom. Easter is a great opportunity to get creative with your friends and family. Flowers can be used to create fun and unique Easter eggs. Flowers can also be used to create a beautiful flower wreath. If you plan on hosting Easter dinner, you’ll love simple DIY techniques to create a stunning centerpiece too.
Floral Easter Eggs
Decorating Easter eggs has been a long-standing tradition for Easter. It is an easy-to-do, affordable activity for all ages. Eggs can be placed as décor, such as a centerpiece or on a side table. Eggs can also be used in an egg hunt, providing another fun activity for kids. Most egg decorating involves different kinds of dyes, paints, and stickers.

For those who are newer to DIY, there are often kits available at local craft stores. You can also purchase a simple metal ring, straw wreath form, or grapevine wreath wire. Flowers can be easily attached using U-shaped florist pins and hot glue. This allows you to get creative with flowers that peak in the spring, adding a touch of natural beauty to your home.
Easter Arrangements
Flowers are ideal for centerpieces and other arrangements. There are several DIY options available, ranging from simplistic to complicated. A simple arrangement just needs colorful spring flowers beautifully arranged in a pot. The pot can be tied with a pastel ribbon for added flair, or wrapped in moss for a true spring look.
