50 DIY Easter Centerpieces

Tired of spending a fortune on fancy Easter decor that just lasts one day?

You deserve a gorgeous table without breaking the bank.

These 50 DIY Easter centerpieces use simple items you probably already own, giving you that high-end look instantly and making your spring gathering perfect.

1. Classic Tulip Vase Display

This look is clean, simple, and always works. Use fresh or faux tulips in soft colors like white or blush pink. A plain ceramic vase keeps the focus on the flowers.

• Stick to one or two colors for a cohesive feel.
• Ensure the vase height is low enough for guests to talk over.
• Arrange tulips loosely for a natural, less structured look.

Pro Tip: If you use fake tulips, bend the stems slightly before placing them in the vase to make them look more realistic.

2. Jars Wrapped In Ribbon

Mason jars are cheap and easy to find. Wrap them tightly with pastel ribbon or simple twine, then fill them with small spring flowers. Line a few down the center of your table.

• Use hot glue to secure the ribbon ends neatly.
• Mix different widths of ribbon for texture.
• Add a small amount of water for fresh flowers.

Pro Tip: Use twine for a rustic look or satin ribbon for a more formal feel.

3. Wildflowers and Hidden Eggs

Create a natural, playful look by arranging wildflowers loosely in any clear vase you have. Then, subtly tuck small pastel eggs between the stems and leaves.

• Gather local greenery and small blooms.
• Use speckled or naturally dyed eggs for authenticity.
• Keep the arrangement light and airy, not too dense.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have wildflowers, use baby’s breath—it gives the same delicate feel.

4. Rustic Wooden Planter Box

If you love the farmhouse style, use a long wooden planter box as your base. Fill it with daisies, green moss, and maybe a few small faux birds. This is great for long tables.

• Line the box with plastic if using real plants.
• Use floral foam to keep faux greenery secure.
• Mix in small twigs for a true rustic feel.

Pro Tip: Sand the edges of the wooden box slightly to give it an aged, expensive look.

5. Fragrant Hyacinth Tray Display

Hyacinths smell amazing and look beautiful. Place several potted hyacinths on a decorative tray. Adding moss around the pots makes the display look intentional and polished.

• Choose a tray with handles for easy movement.
• Use different colored hyacinths (purple, white, pink).
• Keep the pots hidden by covering them completely with moss.

Pro Tip: Mist the moss lightly with water before guests arrive to keep it looking fresh and vibrant.

6. Tiny Herb Basket Centerpieces

Use small woven baskets to hold potted herbs like rosemary, thyme, or basil. This is a fresh, functional centerpiece that guests will love. They can even take one home as a favor.

• Look for mini baskets at craft stores.
• Tie a small card to each basket listing the herb name.
• Use a mix of herbs for varied heights and textures.

Pro Tip: Rosemary has a lovely, pine-like scent that is perfect for spring holidays.

7. Farmhouse Dough Bowl Filler

Dough bowls are perfect for creating long, lush centerpieces. Fill the bowl with faux flowers, thick greenery, and speckled eggs. This is a classic farmhouse look.

• Start with a base layer of moss or shredded paper.
• Use varying sizes of eggs for interest.
• Tuck small battery-operated fairy lights into the greenery.

Pro Tip: If your dough bowl is dark, use light-colored flowers to make the display pop.

8. Elegant Floral Candle Ring

For a centerpiece that adds warmth and height, arrange greenery and flowers in a circle around pillar candles. This looks balanced and works for both daytime and evening dinners.

• Ensure the flowers are far enough from the flame to be safe.
• Use faux greenery that is bendable.
• Group three candles together for the best visual impact.

Pro Tip: Use LED pillar candles for zero fire risk and long-lasting light.

9. Modern Succulent Planter

If you want a modern, low-maintenance look, succulents are your friend. Plant them in a shallow container and decorate the soil surface with small, painted Easter eggs.

• Use a container that is wide, not tall.
• Paint eggs in metallic or neon colors for a modern twist.
• Succulents require very little care, making setup easy.

Pro Tip: Succulents look best when grouped by texture, mixing spiky with smooth varieties.

10. Delicate Cloche Flower Nest

This centerpiece is delicate and perfect for a formal Easter table. Create a small nest using moss, small flowers, and eggs, then cover the entire scene with a glass cloche.

• The cloche protects the fragile display.
• Use hot glue to keep the nest structure together.
• Place the cloche on a small wooden base for extra height.

Pro Tip: Adding a tiny faux bird figurine gives this centerpiece a charming storybook feel.

11. Simple Decorative Egg Bowl

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. Fill a beautiful clear or ceramic bowl with decorated Easter eggs. Use pastel, speckled, or natural-dyed eggs for a festive pop of color.

• Choose a bowl with an interesting texture or shape.
• Add a layer of crinkle paper or moss beneath the eggs.
• Mix plastic and real eggs for variety.

Pro Tip: Grouping the bowl with two smaller candlesticks creates a balanced centerpiece grouping of three.

12. Vertical Easter Egg Tree

Create height on your table by placing large branches in a vase. Then, hang painted or lightweight plastic eggs from the branches using clear thread or ribbon.

• Use branches collected from your yard (clean them first!).
• Choose a sturdy vase heavy enough to hold the branches.
• Vary the length of the string so eggs hang at different levels.

Pro Tip: Spray paint the branches white or gold before decorating to make them look more polished.

13. Charming Egg Cup Flowers

Egg cups are not just for breakfast. Use individual egg cups to hold mini flowers or small painted eggs. Arrange a cluster of them for a charming Easter brunch centerpiece.

• Use tiny flowers like violas or mini carnations.
• Arrange them in a tight diamond or square shape.
• If using eggs, hot glue them slightly inside the cup so they don’t roll out.

Pro Tip: These are perfect place settings; guests can take their flower cup home when they leave.

14. DIY Eggshell Candle Holders

This project is delicate and creative. Carefully clean out eggshells and place small tea lights or wax inside them. Display them in an egg carton or on a decorative platter.

• Crack the eggs near the top carefully.
• Use small, battery-operated tea lights inside the shells.
• Place the shells on a bed of raffia or moss.

Pro Tip: Before putting the candles in, dip the eggshell edges in gold paint for a little sparkle.

15. Rustic Wire Basket Eggs

A wire basket gives an airy, vintage feel to your table. Fill it with soft moss and speckled eggs. This works beautifully for farmhouse or rustic Easter decor.

• Look for a basket with a handle for added height.
• Use shredded paper if you don’t have moss.
• Place the basket on a linen runner.

Pro Tip: Layering a light dish towel inside the basket before adding the filler gives it a softer look.

16. Statement Floral Paper Egg

If you need a bold focal point, use a large papier-mâché egg. Cut out the top and fill it with lush faux flowers and greenery. This makes a big statement easily.

• Choose an egg that is at least 8 inches tall.
• Use bright, vibrant colors for the flowers.
• Place the egg on a small stand or cake plate.

Pro Tip: Use a utility knife to cut the hole, then sand the edges for a clean, finished look.

17. Wreath with Center Candle

Take an Easter egg wreath and lay it flat on the table. Place a large pillar candle or a cluster of candles right in the center. It’s a simple way to use existing decor.

• Ensure the wreath is flat-backed so it sits evenly.
• Use a mirror plate under the candle to reflect light.
• Keep the wreath colors muted for an elegant feel.

Pro Tip: If the wreath is too big, use a smaller candle ring instead for the same effect.

18. Layered Tiered Tray Decor

Tiered trays are perfect for small tables because they use vertical space. Decorate the tiers with eggs, moss, mini bunnies, and small flower arrangements. Layering is key.

• Put the heaviest items on the bottom tier for stability.
• Use small bowls on the top tier to hold tiny candies.
• Wrap the posts with thin ribbon or small garlands.

Pro Tip: Use a light coat of white or pastel spray paint on a dark tray to instantly update it for spring.

19. Earthy Natural Dyed Eggs

If you prefer a more organic look, dye your eggs using natural ingredients like onion skins, beet juice, or turmeric. Display these earthy-toned eggs in a wooden bowl.

• Avoid using plastic bowls for the display.
• Mix the natural eggs with a few plain white ones.
• Place a small sprig of greenery in the center of the bowl.

Pro Tip: Using brown eggs instead of white eggs gives the natural dyes a richer, deeper tone.

20. Flowing Egg Garland Runner

Instead of a fabric runner, use an egg garland draped along the table. Pair the garland with small flower jars placed intermittently. This creates a soft, flowing look.

• Allow the garland to puddle slightly at the ends.
• Choose small, clear vases so they don’t overpower the garland.
• Tuck small pieces of greenery around the eggs.

Pro Tip: If your garland is too short, break it up into two or three pieces and space them out slightly.

21. Bunny Silhouette Focal Point

Use wooden or cardboard bunny shapes as the main focus of your arrangement. Surround them with low greenery or small potted flowers. This is simple and kid-friendly.

• Cut out bunny shapes from thick cardstock or plywood.
• Paint the silhouettes a bright white or soft gray.
• Use small stacks of books underneath the greenery for varying height.

Pro Tip: Add a small bow tie or ribbon to the bunny’s neck for an extra cute detail.

22. Whimsical Felt Bunny Scene

Create a soft, whimsical scene by placing small felt bunny figures inside a shallow tray. Fill the tray with thick, bright green moss to look like a grassy bed.

• Use different sized bunnies to create a family scene.
• Secure the bunnies to the tray bottom with sticky tack.
• Add a few tiny felt carrots for extra color.

Pro Tip: Look for moss sheets instead of loose moss for a cleaner, easier application.

23. Classic Chick Nest Scene

This centerpiece uses classic Easter symbols. Create a nest using raffia or straw in a small bowl. Add small chick figures and a few brightly colored eggs inside the nest.

• Use a bowl that is slightly opaque to hide the nest structure.
• Look for chicks with fuzzy yellow texture.
• Place the nest on a round placemat for definition.

Pro Tip: Dab a little brown paint on the raffia to make the nest look more aged and realistic.

24. Playful Bunny Ear Vases

Give your existing vases a holiday makeover. Attach cardboard or felt bunny ears to the rim of simple vases filled with flowers. This is a playful, easy upgrade.

• Use hot glue or strong double-sided tape to attach the ears.
• Keep the ears simple (just two white or pink ovals).
• Use tall flowers like snapdragons or gladiolus.

Pro Tip: If you use clear vases, hide the tape by wrapping the vase neck with ribbon.

25. Cute Farm Animal Scene

If you love country style, use small farm animal figurines like pigs, cows, and ducks. Arrange them on a base of flowers and greenery. This is perfect for rustic tables.

• Choose figurines that are all the same scale.
• Use a tray or cutting board as the base.
• Add small, low candles around the scene for ambiance.

Pro Tip: Look for vintage-style white ceramic animals for an expensive, cohesive look.

26. Unexpected Carrot Patch Tray

This is a fun, unexpected display. Arrange real or faux carrots tightly together in a tray or planter. Use the green tops of the carrots to provide the necessary greenery.

• Use a shallow tray so the carrots stick up straight.
• If using faux carrots, tuck moss around the bottom.
• Line the tray with brown paper or burlap.

Pro Tip: If using real carrots, wash them well and ensure the greens are fresh and crisp.

27. Elegant Bunny Topiary

For a formal look, use a pre-made bunny topiary or shape greenery on a wire form. Place the topiary in a decorative pot as a stately statement piece for the table.

• Use boxwood or preserved moss for the topiary material.
• Place the pot on a stand to increase the height.
• Tie a simple black and white bow around the base.

Pro Tip: If you can’t find a bunny shape, use a simple cone topiary and add small ears cut from felt.

28. Cozy Woodland Animal Tray

Create a cozy, storybook feel by using moss, small twigs, and woodland animal figurines like squirrels and foxes. Lay them out on a flat tray or mirror.

• Use spray adhesive to keep the moss in place.
• Intersperse small pinecones and acorns.
• Use battery-operated fairy lights woven through the scene.

Pro Tip: Using a mirror as the base makes the small scene look deeper and more magical.

29. Simple Lamb and Flowers

A lamb figure is a traditional Easter element. Place a white ceramic or porcelain lamb figurine next to a small, low flower arrangement. This is simple and meaningful.

• Keep the flower arrangement small so the lamb is the focus.
• Use soft yellow or white flowers.
• Place the lamb on a stack of linen napkins for height.

Pro Tip: Look for vintage ceramic lamb figures at thrift stores for an authentic, expensive look.

30. Minimal Wooden Bunny Group

For a minimalist table, group several wooden bunny cutouts of different sizes. Pair them with simple white candles or small sprigs of greenery. The wood texture adds warmth.

• Use unfinished natural wood for a modern feel.
• Arrange the wooden pieces close together.
• Avoid adding too much color to keep it minimal.

Pro Tip: You can use wood filler to hide the seams if you glue multiple pieces of wood together for stability.

31. Rustic Willow Basket Filler

A willow basket makes a great, visually full centerpiece. Fill it completely with moss, faux eggs, and big faux blooms like hydrangeas. This is easy to assemble.

• Use a basket with a wide, shallow opening.
• Pack the basket tightly so the contents don’t shift.
• Mix plastic and foam eggs for varied texture.

Pro Tip: Place a pillow or towel inside the basket first; this saves money on filler materials.

32. Fresh Wooden Crate Display

Use a small wooden crate filled with potted spring bulbs like tulips or daffodils. This centerpiece feels incredibly fresh and seasonal, bringing the garden inside.

• Line the bottom of the crate with pebbles for drainage.
• Use small chalkboard labels to identify the flowers.
• Place the crate on a burlap runner.

Pro Tip: Look for crates at farmers’ markets or flea markets for an authentic, rustic feel.

• Use a mixture of pink, blue, and yellow pots.

Pro Tip: Lightly sand the edges of the painted pots to give them a charming, distressed look.

For a simple, natural centerpiece, place a small bird’s nest (faux, of course) with eggs on a wood slice. This works perfectly with farmhouse or rustic table settings.

• Ensure the wood slice is clean and level.
• Use small, speckled blue eggs for a robin’s nest look.
• Surround the base of the wood slice with moss or pebbles.

Pro Tip: If your wood slice is too thin, glue two together for a thicker, more substantial piece.

35. Charming Vintage Tin Display

Repurpose old tins or buckets by filling them with fresh grass or faux greenery. Line up several tins down the center of the table for a charming rustic display.

• Look for tins with interesting labels or designs.
• Use different heights of tins for visual interest.
• If using real grass, use wheatgrass starter kits.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have vintage tins, spray paint cheap metal buckets white and sand them slightly.

36. Coastal Driftwood Arrangement

If you live near the beach, combine smooth driftwood pieces with flowers and moss. This creates a beautiful, coastal-inspired Easter centerpiece that feels airy and light.

• Use light-colored flowers like white lilies or hydrangeas.
• Glue small clusters of moss onto the wood.
• Place the arrangement on a bed of sand or small white pebbles.

Pro Tip: You can bleach driftwood to make it look even lighter and more authentic.

37. Fresh Herb Garden Display

Arrange several small herb pots (like rosemary, lavender, and mint) on a rectangular tray. This DIY centerpiece looks fresh and smells wonderful, plus you can use the herbs later.

• Use pots of the same color for a uniform look.
• Place small rocks under the pots if the tray is deep.
• Tie string around the pots for a simple detail.

Pro Tip: Lavender adds a beautiful purple color and a calming scent to the table.

• Group items in odd numbers (three candles, five eggs).
• Use short, wide candles for stability.
• Place a piece of linen or burlap inside the tray first.

Pro Tip: Use white river stones inside the tray to stabilize the candles and add texture.

Skip the fabric runner and lay a long strip of preserved moss down the center of your table. Add scattered eggs and low pillar candles along the strip. It’s an organic, lush look.

• Use moss sheets that are easy to roll out.
• Ensure the moss is flat so glasses don’t wobble.
• Add small nests or tiny bird figures to the moss.

Pro Tip: If you are worried about mess, place the moss strip on a clear vinyl sheet first.

40. Simple Twig Candle Ring

• Use floral wire to hold the twig shape.
• Keep the twigs loose for a rustic feel.
• Use a thick, short candle for safety.

Pro Tip: If you can’t find twigs, use grapevine wire, which is very flexible and natural looking.

• Space the vases evenly down the runner.

Pro Tip: A single tulip or daffodil in each vase gives the perfect spring touch.

• Choose a terrarium that is easy to open and access.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have a terrarium, use a large, clear fish bowl instead.

For a chic look, spray-paint regular eggs in gold, silver, or rose gold. Pair these metallic eggs with white flowers in a simple glass vase. This adds instant glam.

• Use high-gloss metallic spray paint.
• Scatter the metallic eggs around the vase base.
• Use baby’s breath with the eggs for contrast.

Pro Tip: Use a small amount of rubbing alcohol on the eggs before painting to help the paint stick better.

• Ensure the single color complements your dining room.

Pro Tip: Monochrome is a great way to make cheap items look instantly expensive and coordinated.
