Holiday Decor: 10 fun Easter egg decoration ideas!

Easter is around the corner!! Colorful decorated eggs top the list of my must do craft this month. If you are looking for some amazing ideas to make unique Easter eggs your hunt might just have gotten easier!

Some of the best way to decorate Easter eggs, food coloring and vinegar, water color, sharpie pens, felt pens, nail color. Decorate with sequins, glitter, pom poms, feathers, stickers, washi tape..the list is really endless!!

Check out more Easter theme inspiration!!

Animal print is just so much in fashion! These are perfect for brown and white eggs, just get bottles of nail color or sharpie and get started. These would be fun and super easy!!


Very simple food color and vinegar dip. Use fine tip felt pens to doodle as you please. This would be so zen drawing the pattern. Love the simple sophistication!


A twist on doily and white glue! Cut out patterns of your choice, stick them on the eggs, color with nail color or acrylic and peel, or leave them for a more blingy effect. Done!!


A very fun and boho modern way to decorate eggs on Easter! This would be perfect for those who are looking for new inspiration this year. You could use felt tip pen and water color pencil. Sweet!


From Martha, tie a band of lovely lace and a quick dip in food color bath. Unwrap the lace before it gets too soaked. The lace will leave a lovely relief design. So neat!


Use plastic eggs and felt supplies. Soapy water is a favorite way to felt. It would be awesome to cut them open with an exacto and hide surprises inside! So heart this <3


A very simple scratch design on dyed eggs. These would be fun to make, keep the dyed eggs ready and carve at leisure. Has a sweet rustic elegance to it too!


Eco friendly and perfect for different levels of skill. White glue and check your kitchen for lovely colorful grains. Wild rice, split lentils, wheat, green and yellow splits, pour out your soup mix! :-)


Paint and decoupage for this lovely effect! Cut out bunnies, florals from tissue paper and add strokes of hand painted leaves. These would make gorgeous hostess gift too, for keeps!


Easy to handle pom poms for little fingers and some white glue. These are easy to make and absolutely adorable too!

Valentine's day party ideas: 11 unique table decoration!

Valentine's day is a wonderful occasion to celebrate with loved ones! If you are planning a special dinner and are looking for some ideas to help decorate your table, we have loads of them to help you. Valentine's day decor has lots of red and pink, candles, hearts and roses. Its a beautiful presentation of all things that symbolize love! 

Show your creative side, display your affection in every aspect of planning. Its a special day and won't you love to make them swoon. Enjoy perusing and hope you find some inspiration here :-)

Gorgeous rich red and lush roses. A nice velvet table runner, stunning gold and red votive and hearts wreath. Dinnerware in combination of red and white breaks the monotone color. Love!


Planning an elegant outdoor luncheon! Spiffy vintage bottles with fresh flowers. Look for pastel stemware and raid old cupboards/antique shops for lovely floral china. Simple chic.


Dinner for two? This is just the cutest setting ever, put your crafty hands to full use. Simple wild stems in a mason jar. Paper boat bunting and scrabble tiles. Who said frugal cannot be fun?!


Short notice, you can still pull off a beautiful table decoration in no time. Few hints of red, roses and a personal touch, a message written on chalk cloth table runner. Adorable!


One great tip of adding tons of drama is to use the same pattern in abundance. A bunch of simple hand cut heart doilies will look absolutely stylish! Love the ombre effect. Easy enough?

I love upcycle ideas. A ladder hangs above the long dining table. Cut out of XOs and lots of photographs interspersed. This would be perfect for lofts and more spacious rooms.


Pick red or purple as theme and mix it with neutrals like white. Al fresco dinner with purple stemware, bunting and napkins. Lovely bouquet of purple flowers compliments perfectly!


Oh the simplicity of this arrangement! Dollar store egg cups holding button roses arranged in shape of a heart. Alternative, use egg shells with strips of paper roll as base. Ta da!


Having a valentines day party for friends, this may be the most charming table decoration ever! Perfect for smaller space. Tall vases of flowers, mix of votive and flowers. Elegance..


Go over the top but keep it classy! Stunning table centerpiece in shades of pink. With such a delicate focal piece, the simple tableware compliments perfectly!


Love the use of carnations instead of roses. Its a sweet easy diy mobile. I can imagine using embroidery hoops for a quick version. Use fake flowers to preserve year round. So unique!
