DIY Easter Egg Garland: Cute Ideas For Spring

Making a DIY Easter egg garland is a cute and simple way to add budget-friendly Easter decorations to your home. Whether you like them neutral or love the bright Easter colors, I have a few styles for you that are so easy to make!

DIY Easter Egg Garland Supplies List

The materials you need to make a garland will depend on how you want to decorate them. A little further in this post, you’ll see plastic easter eggs that I decoupaged.

• plastic Easter eggs – I got mine at Dollar Tree but you can find them at Hobby Lobby or Walmart, etc. If you can’t find white speckled eggs, buy white plastic eggs and speckle them with black chalk paint
• twine or ribbon to string the eggs on – not too thick because it has to fit through the holes
• a needle with a large eye (but not too big that it won’t fit through the egg holes)
• ribbon or burlap (optional)
• silk plants (optional)
• napkins or pretty paper if you choose to decoupage

Easy DIY Plastic Easter Egg Garland Instructions

Here are the step-by-step instructions I followed for making my DIY Easter garlands:

1. Measure and cut your twine to the desired length of your finished garland with a little extra for tying to your furniture or hooks.
2. Decorate your plastic eggs by decoupaging them or painting them if you’d like. They can also be left plain.
3. String plastic easter eggs onto the twine using a larger needle or snap the eggs closed over thin twine like baker’s twine.
4. Tie pieces of ribbon and/or greenery or flowers to decorate between eggs.
5. Hang your garland using command hooks or small nails depending on your surface.

When you’re shopping for plastic easter eggs for your garland, the ones that have little holes in the ends are best. This makes the project so simple and you get a beautiful Easter decoration for your mantel or anywhere else in your home. I found my plastic eggs from Dollar Tree but you can also find plastic easter eggs from Amazon.

If you already have eggs and they don’t have holes, just snap the eggs shut on the twine. I tried this with cotton twine and it worked great.

How To Make An Easter Egg Garland

Making an Easter egg garland is pretty easy. Just sort out your colors in the order you like and string the eggs on twine using a needle. You’ll need a needle with a larger eye to fit twine through. Pop the eggs open so it’s easier to fish the needle through then close the eggs back up.

Some eggs have two holes on each end, make sure to use holes that are in alignment or the eggs will hang slightly crooked. I didn’t do this so you can probably see what I mean by looking at the picture.

Decorating The Garland

This is completely optional, but you can add cute embellishments to your Easter garland to create different variations. Tying strips of ribbon between each egg, or even every couple of eggs, adds a little character.

I made an all-white DIY Easter egg garland, tied pieces of cut burlap ribbon, and added a bit of a boxwood pick. To make your garland a little “extra”, you can even make tassels to add to the ends.

In the photo below, I used a piece of 2″ wired ribbon cut in half lengthwise. The pieces were 8″ long.

I decoupaged plastic Easter eggs with napkins and Mod Podge to make this next garland. It was a little time-consuming and I ended up having to do some trimming after the glue dried to get the eggs to close. Keep that in mind if you’re making one. I didn’t even think of that until the eggs were dry and I was ready to string them and close them!

I hope you enjoyed these DIY Plastic Easter Egg Garlands. Before you go, be sure to take a look at my bunny garland for another Easter decor idea. I also made some super cute bunnies out of Dollar Tree eggs.

How To Hang An Easter Egg Garland

I like to use command hooks when hanging garlands. The command hooks with metal hooks are my favorite.
