1. Decorate Eggs in a New Way - Skip the Dye This Year
You can't let Easter come and go without decorating a few eggs! This year skip the real eggs and dye for some paper-mache eggs that you can enjoy next year too. Here are 8 simple ideas for you to try: Stenciled Eggs 1, Stenciled Eggs 2 , Flower Eggs, Lace Eggs, Paint Dipped Eggs, Neon Sticker Eggs, Ribbon Eggs, Tissue Paper Eggs
2. Plan a Special Brunch
I love planning a special Easter meal, even if it is just the four of us. You can find ideas from past Easter tables like napkins folded into bunnies and a pretty DIY ribbon runner. Next year, I would love to make it even more special by sending out a beautiful invite to family in advance:

3. Make a Pretty Centerpiece for Your Easter Table
Not sure how to decorate your Easter table? Here are three inexpensive centerpiece options:
1. Make a bouquet from plastic Easter eggs! See my step-by-step tutorial or watch the video!
2. The simplest bouquet ever - fill a mason jar with baby's breath and then dot with these butterfly stickers. For a similar effect, use a blue mason jar or paint the inside of one.

3. Make the food the centerpiece! Decorate a paper cupcake stand and use it to display individual portions of food. Tutorial here.
