3. Yarn-Wrapped Wooden Eggs
A simple, classy project that looks like you spent hours, but you didn’t. Wrap untreated wooden eggs with yarn, turn them into a cute Easter centerpiece, or hide them around the house for a playful scavenger hunt.
- Materials: wooden eggs, yarn in several colors, craft glue, googly eyes (optional)

4. No-Sew Easter Pom-Pom Flowers
If you love a spring vibe, these flowers are a slam dunk. They’re bright, cheerful, and completely no-sew.
- Materials: pipe cleaners, yarn, scissors
- Steps: Create pom-pom centers by wrapping yarn around a fork, tie it tight, and fluff. Attach to pipe cleaner stems and curl the ends for a cute bouquet.
- Idea: Place them in a teacup or use as a whimsical napkin ring accent.

Soft pastels feel classic, but bold neon accents can be surprisingly chic. IMO, don’t be afraid to mix in a metallic for some pizzazz.
5. DIY Easter Bunny Treat Bags
