Decoration of a house for Easter 2013: original decor ideas

The history of the celebration of Easter is several millennia, during which the traditions were changed and new attributes of the main Christian holiday were added. At the present time, fashion trends are being added to centuries-old traditions. But how can one combine the past and the future, be in a trend and observe all Christian norms? Let's see what distinguishes the decoration of the house for Easter 2013?

As such differences in the decor of the house this year will not be - everything that we used for Easter decorations earlier, will be used now. These are Easter eggs, wreaths, flowers, nests and trees. But unlike previous celebrations, this year Easter comes rather late - May 5, and this feature will allow us to decorate the interior with fresh flowers, which by that time should already be many.

Bouquets of flowers - original Easter decorations 2013

We deliberately started our review of Easter ornaments in 2013 with flowers, not eggs or wreaths. By May, spring flowers should already grow and bloom: daffodils, tulips, lilies of the valley, primroses, pansies. From these flowers create beautiful Easter compositions - flowers can be put in a vase of water, or you can stick them in beautiful pots with Easter motifs, with the soil poured into it. If possible, it is better to stock up with a floral sponge or floral foam - these simple innovations will help not only to beautifully form the bouquet, but also provide special recharge and a slow wilting of the flowers.

You can use eggshells as a pot for flowers or for germinating wheat.

shell It should be remembered that spring flowers wither very quickly, so do not expect the continued beauty of blossoming buds. If you are waiting for guests in the house, then fresh flowers in the vase must be renewed fresh.

An interesting way to decorate a house for Easter is to combine bright eggs and flowers: in a wide transparent vase( you can also use a jar or basket), densely lay colored eggs, and put fresh flowers on top,passing the stalks between the eggs, so they do not fall.

No need to discount the willow twigs. On the Palm Sunday on the eve of Easter these twigs appear in every house and are a kind of Easter decoration. Of these, bouquets make up nests and wreaths.

Easter baskets for decorating the interior for Easter

Decoration of the house for Easter 2013 will not do without Easter baskets. Their bottom is lined with a layer of earth, and the stems of spring flowers are inserted into the ground. Further decorate such a composition with Easter eggs, willow twigs, ribbons and colored bows. It is desirable to withstand a single color gamut or play on contrast, combining, for example, red with green or blue with yellow. To prolong the flower basket life, you can use flowers in pots, they will not fade in a few hours and will delight owners and guests of the house with their beauty.

From unconventional ways of making this attribute of Easter, you can note a baked basket of yeast dough. This is not only a good decor, but also quite edible snack for the festive table, in which Easter eggs and cakes are laid.

And the needlewomen make baskets from various materials. The base is made of cardboard, which is pasted with colored paper or a thin cloth, decorated with beads, embroidered with beads and thin decorative ribbons.

And to attract the child to pleasant preparations for one of the brightest holidays of the year, invite him to make an Easter basket made of paper, colored cardboard, or weave from long paper strips.

Easter wreaths and nests

This decoration of the interior for Easter 2013 can be called traditional. The most interesting thing is that wreaths and nests are used both separately and simultaneously. Wreaths, as a rule, decorate the doors and windows of the house, and for their manufacture use different materials. In the course is a vine, a bast, a birch branch and a willow with buds blossoming, dry stems of plants and dry grass, live spring flowers, Easter eggs, feathers, moss and even miniature rabbits.

With the use of various improvised means, the wreaths smoothly turn into nests, especially since there are all the prerequisites for this. Is the Easter decor in the form of woven delicate twigs, decorated with eggs and tender feathers does not remind you of these nests? The symbol of the sun and fertility is suspended on the tape above the front door or on the window.

Easter eggs in decorating houses for Easter 2013

Easter decorations in 2013, as well as in the previous ones, do not do without eggs. Real eggs paint in different colors, decorate with colored paper, ribbons, decals, stickers, make decor of plasticine, buttons, beads. There are a lot of options. Also folk craftsmen make decoupage of eggs and tie them crochet.

Souvenir producers picked up the idea of ​​decorating the house with Easter eggs and began to produce decorative eggs of various sizes - from original ones up to ten times enlarged, which can be put in a basket orhang the ribbon on the chandelier and the window.

But this is only one way of Easter decor from eggs, they can be used in a different way. For example, a composition is made from eggshells and spring flowers. To do this, the dish is laid green moss, which serves as a soft pillow for stacked on top of it eggshells, or sea pebbles, as in the photo below. In the shell, too, they invest moss and insert into it live flowers on a short stalk. You can also decorate such a composition with bright ribbons.

There is another, no less original way of decorating the interior with the help of an egg shell. For him, we need a plastic or paper container for eggs, shells, some earth and seeds for greenery. In each compartment of the egg tray, the eggshell should be placed. At the bottom of the shell to pour the earth and sprout in her green.

By the way, the greenery can be germinated not only in the shell, it excellently rises in round or square pots, and as a raw material for the greens use oat or wheat grains, as well as seeds of watercress, lawn grass. Do not forget to plant seeds in advance( for a couple of weeks) on the greens!

Here is another kind of Easter decorations that came to us from Europe. To make a tree, use the branches of pussy or any other trees that are put in a vase or flower pot and decorated with Easter eggs, flowers and ribbons. In 2013, Easter will already be blossomed apricot, cherry or apple - these twigs also fit to create the Easter tree.

As you can see, the decoration of the house for Easter 2013 almost does not differ from the previous celebrations of the bright holiday, and the abundance of fresh flowers and blossoming buds will make it possible to create a beautiful Easter bouquet. And the final touch. In the basket with Easter cakes put an embroidered napkin or an Easter towel and put church candles. We also recommend that you read our article about Easter embroidery.
