Spring is definitely in the air, and we got a nice hint of it this past weekend in Georgia! With a new season approaching, I’ve been changing a lot of the decor in my house to get us all in a fresh, Springtime mood. When I saw these cute Easter egg ornaments at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago, I knew they’d be perfect for an Easter Egg Garland for my Spring Mantel!
To make
Easter Egg Garland
you’ll need:
Easter Egg Ornaments {found at Hobby Lobby}
jute twine
burlap scraps
I know there are some other items pictured in the supplies photo, but I ended up not using a few of them. I’m sure they’ll be used soon!
To get started, I put up the length of jute twine that I needed on my mantel for my garland. I like to hang the garland high enough that my little, climbing toddler can’t reach it.
To attach the jute twine, I tied it around some vases on top of the mantel. This is typically how I attach any kind of garland I make.
I then began attaching each egg ornament by tying it on with a small piece of jute twine.
Soon, I had an entire garland full of colorful Easter Eggs. In between every few eggs, I also tied on a scrap piece of burlap to give the garland some more texture.
I love the pop of color that the eggs add to the mantel {and the fact that it can stay up through the end of the month for Easter}. To the top of the mantel, I added some bright green and purple floral stems and picks to some tall vases and my twine wrapped bottles.
I also tied on a scrap piece of muslin from my stash. I’m loving the imperfect-ness of the bows.
The other side of the mantel holds a tall hurricane vase with our wine cork collection and some yarn wrapped Easter eggs purchased a few years back.
My mantels are typically simple, but that’s what I love about them. Spring is all about simplicity after all!
How have you decorated for Spring or Easter so far?

So cute…and you have such a beautiful fireplace. I love the stacked stone.
Came across your mantel while just looking at ideas for Easter mantel decorating. I too, love the simplicity. I wanted to comment on your birds above the fireplace. Love them!! Are they metal?
They are! They were my husband’s grandparents actually, and we got them because he loved them so much. Thank you!!
