My Other Little Easter Egg Tree

 

I made this little Easter Egg tree to help "Easterfy" my house. I made this one just like this one, but I used small plastic Easter eggs instead of foam ornaments. I found the eggs in a discount store by me, I spent $1.00 for 2 packs of 24 eggs! Thanks to the supper sale on the eggs, this decoration only cost me $2.00 to make! For a tutorial on how to make your own, check out the other Easter Egg Tree I made.

Little Easter Egg Tree Decoration

As we prepare for Easter this year, I have really been trying to make some decorations because I really don't have any. I love how this came out! This little Easter Tree was simple to make, it didn't take too long to make, and it only cost about $5.00 to make.

 

 

I picked these little foam egg ornaments up from the dollar store, they are the same ones that I hung on my Easter Tree. I used almost 4 packs of them to make the tree. I cut the ribbon off of each egg with scissors and they worked perfectly.

 

I picked up the foam cone from the dollar store as well. If you don't have any leftover paper grass, you can also pick up a bag in the dollar store.

I heated my glue gun and started to glue these eggs in place.

 

I started at the bottom and worked my way up...

Until the whole cone was covered in eggs. 

Then I took the paper grass and using a pencil, I "stuck" it in all of the cracks, spaces, and crevices.

I didn't need to use any additional glue to hold the paper in place.

 

Easy Peasy Easter Decoration, I love it :)

 

DIY Easter Tree

This year, I decided that I wanted to make a small Easter Tree. I picked up some cute little egg ornaments from the Dollar Tree to decorate it with, all I needed was tree...  My original plan was to use a dead tree branch from outside and possibly spray paint it white.

 

Then my son and I went to Target and came across this little tree.

They wanted $10 for this little thing!

There was NO way I was paying $10 for it, I decided to make my own version of it.

I made it with items that I had on hand, it didn't cost me a penny to make it!

 

 

My husband is a bit obsessed with tie wire and seems to have an endless supply, so I used it to form my tree.

 

I wrapped it top to bottom with yarn.

I used white yarn for the majority of the tree and then wrapped the ends in different colors.

 

 

When I finished wrapping it in yarn, which took a very long time, I put it in a little tin Easter bucket. I topped it off with some jelly beans and added my egg ornaments.

My little tree is all ready for Easter!!
