8 Easter Outdoor Decorating Ideas For Your Backyard

It’s time to plan those Easter egg hunts and get those decorations ready because the Easter bunny is coming to town! Nothing else gets me in the mood for family fun over Easter than themed treats and decorations galore! 

Ready to say goodbye to winter and step into spring and Easter? What better way to get into the Easter spirit and wow your guests than to spruce up your backyard with some decorations? 

Here are 8 Easter decoration ideas to check out!

Traditional German Easter Egg Fountain Display

If you want your DIY outdoor Easter decorations to knock the socks off all your guests, this is it! Brace yourself though, because this display requires a lot of effort and material to get it done right. 

First things first, to pull this off you’re going to need a water feature of some sort. The decorations I will talk about shortly will lean on the water feature, providing structural support.

To ensure a strong base for the leaning columns, you could use something like concrete blocks. For the leaning columns, materials such as heavy-duty wire and PVC pipe would be helpful. Once you’ve got a sturdy structure in place, you can start wrapping the leaning columns with greenery and then a colorful Easter egg garland.

Traditional Easter Eggs

We all know Easter to be a festival of bright colors, sweet treats, bunnies and, most of all, Easter eggs!

If you have kids or little ones in your family, this is a wonderful way to get them involved and help decorate. Get them some paint, paintbrushes and colorful ribbon and watch the magic happen!

When they’re dry, you can hang them onto your tree by gluing on a piece of ribbon and tying it around the tree branch. It will make a nice Easter tree!

Easter Tree With A Springtime Flair

When we think of the spring season, we think of pretty blossoms filling the air with their sweet aroma. If you have a tree in your backyard that blooms in spring, it could be a great addition to your Easter decorations. Let’s see how we can give it an Easter flair!

The main ingredient to pull off this Easter tree is to decorate some eggs according to the color scheme or even the pattern you prefer (stripes, polka dots, etc.) Once your eggs are dry, you need to figure out how you’re going to hang them up on your tree.

One easy way is to hot glue a piece of ribbon into a loop shape onto the eggs to hang onto the tree. If you want to get more creative, you could make a bow with the part of the ribbon that is glued onto the egg.

A Creative Spin On A Traditional Easter Egg Tree 

We’ve already got an Easter egg idea that could use the kiddos’ help. Now here’s one that requires the artistic skills of the grown-ups or bigger kids. To pull off this idea, you need steady hands and artistic flair to create designs and patterns and execute them neatly and with precision. 

You could try geometric patterns, flowers and stars. Besides making sure they’re works of art, you’ll also need to make sure you use complementary colors that stand out. 

Once your gorgeous eggs are dry, you’ll need to hang them onto your tree by gluing a piece of colorful (and matching) ribbon onto each of them before tying a loop and hanging them onto your designated Easter tree. 

Funky DIY Easter Eggs

Do you plan on moving away from traditional pastel colors for your DIY outdoor Easter decorations? How about going in with a splash of color? Your Easter eggs are guaranteed to steal the show!

Colors such as red, orange and bright yellow are absolute winners for this idea. Feel free to mix and match bright colors and be creative. You can also use a tie-dye effect or splashes of paint on white eggs. 

Easter Eggs – Here, There And Everywhere!

Do you have a leafless tree in your backyard that could do with a little pick-me-up? Imagine this: colorful eggs instead of leaves! I know it sounds *extra,* but this is the perfect solution to a dried-out and drab-looking tree. Brace yourself, though, because we’re going to need a LOT of eggs!

Due to a large number of eggs that this idea requires, I recommend using plastic Easter eggs. Plastic eggs are easier to handle compared to normal eggs and you don’t have to decorate plastic Easter eggs since they are already colored. 

With this idea, you’re not restricted to any specific color or theme. Feel free to go wild and hang them all over, transforming your tree from drab to fab!

Handmade Easter Egg Basket

Have some extra time on your hands and looking to make yourself an Easter-themed keepsake? This handmade Easter basket filled with eggs is the perfect heirloom that you could even pass down to your family.

If you’re a master knitter and know your way around some yarn, try out these eggs and an accompanying basket. You could fill the eggs with polyester fiber or even cotton wool. 

Beautifully Bedazzled Homemade Easter Egg Tree

Are you an arts and crafts whizz? How about personalizing your eggs with your own artsy flair? 

You could wrap the base of your egg with colorful twine instead of painting them. Just apply some hot glue on the egg to secure the string before wrapping it around. Don’t forget to keep some excess string loose when you’re done because this is what you’ll use to hang it on the tree.

Once the base is complete, you can get out your beads, diamantes and any other funky material you have and bedazzle them! These eye-catching trees are a winner!
