Curtains

One of the important elements in the decor of any room are the curtains. They are designed not only to decorate the room and windows, but also to protect the space from direct sunlight. This is especially true in spring and summer. Easter decor means that you need to remove the old curtains from heavy winter materials and hang new ones, from the lighter ones. Now there are many different materials for curtains - they have a dirt-repellent impregnation, processed with a composition that prevents burnout of the material in the sun. Most suitable for linen fabrics with the addition of synthetics. The organza or transparent tulle is also suitable.

Easter decor for the house needs to be created with the help of curtains. Before Easter, you can hang garlands made of green branches and artificial flowers on curtains. You can add fresh flowers, but they will last for two or three days. Often by Easter, hares are made of cardboard and decorated with colored paper. The hares are attached to the curtains.

Easter decoration of the interior includes the painting of the windows. On the glass, you can paint flowers with watercolor, and you can make them from a self-adhesive film. To create ornaments, colored paper is also used on the window.

Flowers for Easter

Easter compositions made of flowers are quite common. Narcissuses often grow in vases or in baskets. Narcissus can be grown from a bulb.

Verba is a tree whose branches are often used on Easter. From its branches weave wreaths, which are decorated with flowers. You can put in a vase a bunch of willow twigs. It is longevous, it can stay at your window for a year.

Tulips for Easter will serve as an excellent decoration, especially if you put them in a vase on the window. Also at this time of year there is already a lilac, which can be of different shades.

Tree

Easter compositions for the house usually include the Easter tree. Its history dates back to the Middle Ages. So, in Western Europe on Easter decorate the trees on the street, generously decorate the interior of the room with twigs.

Such a tree is easy to make yourself, it will help to create in your home Easter decor in European style. You need to take a small bucket or a pot, put the foam there. In it, a wire is stuck, which is then decorated with flowers and leaves. You can use willow branches for these purposes.

The main European tradition is the Easter eggs, which are suspended in a tree on laces. Previously, a hole is made in the raw egg , through which all the contents are pumped out. Then the egg is decorated, and a thread is attached to it, for which it is then suspended. Eggs can be made knitted, you can braid them with beads.

To decorate the Easter tree, we use figures of birds and butterflies cut from cardboard. Often such a tree is hung with sweets and gingerbread.

Easter Candles

It's hard to imagine Easter decor without a candle. This invention is very widely used since the 19th century, when paraffin, from which candles are made, was invented.

The easiest way is to make a candle for a candle, they will need a material for the wick first. You can take an economic cotton cord, you can connect 5-6 white reel threads. The obtained threads are wound on the frame, it is made either from welded reinforcing mesh, or from the halves of an ordinary pencil.

Making candles

So, we make candles to decorate our Easter decoupage. To do this, the wick must be dipped in molten wax, and the wax should be painted red. This is done with the help of lipstick. You can buy cheap lipstick, throw it in a vat with melted wax, so that it takes the right color. You can use an aniline dye, as well as paint for eggs.

And now, the Easter decoupage will be ready soon. The candle needs to be grown. To do this, we take the finished wick, cool it, and dip it into the molten mass. So we do it several times, then for cooling we take out the ready candle on the balcony. Also you can roll the received candle on something even, so that its sides turn out beautiful.

If you want to use the candles received in the temple, they will need to be sanctified. And if you just want to put them at home on Easter, then you do not have to consecrate them.

Easter chick

To decorate the house on Easter, you can make a cute chicken. He will welcome the guests.

To make it you will need: a tangle of yellow threads, a tangle of orange, a wire from which you make paws, a piece of sintepon for filling, a piece of felt or leather.

First, you crochet a ring of three or four air loops, while you must take a thread in two additions. Then the ring is tied with columns with a crochet. When the workpiece is ready, you pull it together and fill it with sintepon.

The legs for the chicken are twisted from the wire. Well, if the wire for them is rough - it will come in handy. On the legs we reel the sewing thread of orange color. We fasten the head and trunk to each other, we knit a cone of orange threads and make a beak. To make wings, we knit a chain of air loops and bind them with 5 rows of columns with a crochet. For the tail we tie a chain of air loops 10 columns with a crochet.

As an eye, we use ordinary white buttons, we sew cilia of black felt to them. On the buttons attach black sequins, which will be pupils. So our Easter chicken is ready.
