Bunnies, baby chicks, egg hunts and parades are all hallmarks of a traditional Easter.

With more outdoor activities than most holidays, this is the time of year for garden-inspired decorations.

To give your home an Easter theme all you need is a carton of eggs and a few bits and pieces from the pantry and craft aisle of the hardware store.

Blow out raw eggs and decorate with water-based paints or food dye.

Wrap them in twine and nestle them in a basket of cat grass and flowers as a centrepiece for your Easter table.

Make an egg mobile to hang up indoors or out and create nests of bright, beaded eggs as decorations.

TIP: For a longer-lasting centrepiece, use artificial grass and flowers.

Place each egg into a bowl filled with beads and roll it around.

Allow to dry then apply glue and beads to the other side of each egg.
