Making an Easter tree, if you haven’t done it before it couldn’t be easier and it will look so pretty in your room. Well its a bit of a tradition in our house to make an Easter tree and we have made decorations with blown eggs over the years which we now treasure and enjoy year after year, it makes us smile when we remember all those days spent painting and making when the kids were a lot younger… but if you haven’t got a tree and are thinking of making one here goes…you will really enjoy the making.
Simply clip some branches or twigs from your garden or the hedgerow or buy some amazing contorted/twisted willow from your local florist or this year Lidl have it in stock, so pick it up when you are out shopping. The bonus is – if you leave it in water for long enough – it will start to root and you will be able to grow your own for next year!
Choose a large vase and fill with water, then place the twigs in the vase and arrange, add the decorations hand-made or bought it really does not matter and it really depends how much time you have! there are some fabulous ones in the shops at the moment, waitrose, John Lewis, Lidl, Sainsburys will all have their versions!
Any size of tree will look great on your table and in your home, it makes the most of the spring colours and brings a smile to most peoples faces, it’s easier than lots of flowers – which we try to avoid as otherwise there is an early outbreak of hay-fever with all the spring pollen!
