Try this simple homemade Easter egg tree to display your decorated Easter eggs. Your kids will love making one for your home!
Updated April 2025
If you have baskets of decorated Easter eggs at home and you don’t know what to do with them, try an Easter egg tree!
It’s a fun and festive way to display your eggs, and it makes a beautiful centerpiece or seasonal decoration for your home. Creating one is also a great family activity that brings a touch of spring indoors. Kids love picking which eggs to hang and seeing their artwork on display!
This is a classic Artful Parent activity that our founder, Jean, made with her daughters. We decided we had to try making our own—and we loved how it turned out! Here’s how we did it.
How to Make an Easter Egg Tree
MATERIALS
- Several tree branches
- A plant pot or mason jar
- Sand, pebbles, or dirt
- Hollow Easter eggs, decorated*
- Ribbon or yarn
- Hot glue gun
*With egg prices reaching record highs this year, dyeable plastic eggs—available for as little as $1.98 per dozen at retailers like Walmart—offer a budget-friendly and reusable alternative for your Easter egg decorating.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare your tree
Take a nature walk or go hunting in your backyard for some branches or a branch with multiple stems, so you have plenty of spots to hang eggs!
You can leave your branch natural, or if you are feeling a little fancy, you can spray paint it white. We had some leftover teal spray paint so we used that!
Stick your branch into your pot or mason jar. If you need to stabilize your branches, you can fill it with rocks, sand, or dirt.
- Attach a ribbon to your eggs
Use a glue gun to attach a ribbon or yarn loop to the top of each egg, so you can hang it.
- Decorate your tree!
Add your eggs to the different branches, then step back and admire your Easter egg tree!
This was such a fun and easy project! We absolutely recommend trying this super simple way to display your decorated eggs for Easter.
