4. Easter egg candles
Simple and oh-so-chic, we adore these minimalist Easter egg candles. Egg and bunny silicone moulds are readily available online and generally cost under $10. Make a few in different tones by adding wax dye to suit your home’s aesthetic and style them in a vignette. They are a fab decor item in their own right and add ambient, moody lighting when burning.
Alternatively, you could wash some real eggshells and make candles directly in the shells. It’s a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative.

5. Hack an Easter table lamp
Transform a simple tall glass vase into a sweet Easter table lamp with this creative DIY project! Fill the vase with faux moss, a decorative bunny, and artificial flowers to create a festive spring scene. Then, turn it into a lamp by adding a puck light and a lampshade. Perfect for adding warmth and whimsy to your seasonal decor.
6. Speckled Easter bath bombs
A project that’s great fun with the kids and you’ll actually want to use are homemade bath bombs. You only need a few ingredients (that may already be in your cupboard) and to follow a simple bath bomb recipe.
Make them festive by picking up an egg-shaped mould and presto, Easter egg bath bombs. Use whatever essential oils you like for fragrance and get creative with colours or decorative accents — great as gifts or self-care treats.
