DIY Easter Decorations for Your Home
In recent weeks, you've likely encountered numerous "creative home" challenges online, showing how a bit of handcrafting and a few simple materials can create something that brightens up your time spent indoors.
With Easter approaching, we’ve brought you some festive decoration ideas. Join our student union and get crafting!
Paper Easter Bunny
Create flowers, leaves, or simply small and large pompoms from crepe paper. Take a larger piece of cardboard or thick drawing paper, such as A3 size, which will serve as the base for your bunny. You can decide whether you want to cut out a full-body bunny or just a bunny head; there are plenty of templates available online for either option. Once you've cut it out, decorate it with the flowers, leaves, and pompoms you've made. You can even "dress" it up with a bow if you like. The finished Easter creation can make a charming decoration for doors and windows.

Dyeing Eggs with Natural Ingredients
Did you know that you can create beautifully colored Easter eggs using ingredients found in your garden or kitchen? Yellow can be achieved with turmeric powder, green with spinach or parsley leaves, pink with strong rosehip tea, purple with beet juice, and blue with finely chopped red cabbage.
The cooking liquid is the same for all colors: add 4 tablespoons of vinegar to half a liter of water and bring it to a boil, then add the mentioned coloring agents. For patterned eggs, collect small leaves and flowers from the garden – such as clover, parsley leaves, dandelion leaves, violets, and daisies. Place them on the eggs, secure them with stockings, and put them in the cooking liquid! The stockings will allow the color to penetrate, but the properly secured leaves and flowers will leave the egg’s original color intact underneath.

Egg 2.0
Easter decorations don’t have to be limited to the usual painted eggs. When making egg dishes, be careful not to break the eggshells too much, as they can also be small decorations that brighten up your home. Draw eyes, mouths, and noses on them! Place small flowers inside them – violets or daisies are easy to find these days. You can hang them on a few small branches in a vase, put them back in the egg carton, or use them as table decorations.
