DIY Easter Basket Centerpiece

DIY Easter Basket Centerpiece

March 21, 2019

Are you ready for some Easter inspiration? Easter is late this year and still one month away (actually landing on my mom’s birthday). That provides me with plenty of time to provide some new Easter ideas. First up, a DIY Easter Basket Centerpiece that I believe even non-crafters can do. In fact, I’ve challenged my mom to try it.

My mom loves to sew but does not do any other crafting. She agreed to my challenge and said she’ll inlist my niece, Mackie, to try it with her during spring break. Rest assured, I’ll report back on how they do. In the meantime, here are the simple how-to instructions. Good luck mom, Mackie and any follower who gives this a try!

Below, I’m providing the exact materials used, including the exact basket, faux greenery and Easter eggs. I went to two stores, the basket was from Target and all other materials were from Michaels. Of course, you can use any materials you already have to get the same look. I just wanted to make duplicating this as easy as possible.

Materials

  • Easter basket (large Threshold Water Hyacinth Wooden Basket at Target)
  • Floral Foam
  • 2 White Baby’s Breath Bushes by Ashland (at Michaels)
  • 1 White Lily of the Valley Bush by Ashland (at Michaels)
  • 1 Cream Hops Stem by Ashland (at Michaels)
  • 4 bags Assorted Decorative Eggs by Ashland (at Michaels; not sold online, but they have a picture)

Instructions

DIY Easter Basket Centerpiece Step 1: Add floral foam to basket.

Step 1: Add floral foam to the basket. Make sure it reaches about the top of your basket but it does not have to go to the edges.

DIY Easter Basket Centerpiece Step 2: Add faux baby's breath around rim of basket.

Step 2: Add the faux white baby’s breath. Cut off each stem of baby’s breath from the main bush. Stick each individual stem into the floral foam and allow the leaves and flowers to lay just over the edge of the basket. Go all the way around the basket. I used every stem from my two bushes.

DIY Easter Basket Centerpiece Step 3: Add faux lily and hops to the basket.

Step 3: Add the remaining white flowers (faux lily of the valley and faux cream hops). For the lily of the valley, cut each stem off the main bush, like you did with the baby’s breath. You should have nine individual stems. Tuck the stems into spots at random around the basket. For the cream hops, cut off individual stems from the large stem and again place in random spots around the basket.

DIY Easter Basket Centerpiece Step 4: Add easter eggs to the center of the basket.

Step 4: Add Easter eggs to the center of the basket. The stems that you stuck in the floral foam create a “nest” for your eggs to sit on, but there may be holes. Therefore, you may need to cover the holes and/or add filler so that your eggs sit up higher. All I did was use the mesh bags the eggs came in to cover the holes and act as filler. Then I dumped on the eggs. And just like that, the basket was complete!

I’m currently using the basket as coffee table decor but it really would make a beautiful centerpiece for a dining table. Since I have a month until the big day, I’m sure I’ll do just that and share the photos with you here and on Instagram. Speaking of Instagram, I documented this whole process in Instagram Stories so be sure to check that out too.

I also made a matching floral bouquet using my DIY Air-Dry Clay Bunny Vase from last year (front and back shown above). I hope you’ll check out the tutorial and if you’re looking for other Easter decor ideas, check out my Easter page.
