Save money and make your own DIY Easter decorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every year around Easter, we put up an Easter tree in our house that we decorate with eggs, little chicks and Easter bunnies. The shops are full of decorations every year. But did you know you can make the best decorations yourself? And even from materials you probably still have around the house (or else can easily find at the thrift store). Check the recycling app<\/a> for a shop near you! Below are three ideas for making Christmas decorations. Go for a little chick, bunny or keep it simpler with cardboard eggs. Combining is also great fun. See for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am lucky that my parents have a curly hazel in the garden, so I got a few branches from there. You can use other pretty branches too, just search around your garden (or the neighbour's). You don't have to buy the Easter branch new either. In fact, an Easter branch from the supermarket is usually not a sustainable choice at all. Need inspiration? We previously wrote an article about the zero waste Easter tree growing in your neighbourhood.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
