These days, people are decorating trees for all holidays and occasions. There are Fourth of July trees, Halloween trees and even Valentine’s trees so it’s no surprise that decorating an Easter egg tree is a huge hit.

18 Unique Easter Egg Tree Ideas to Add More Color to Your Home

Although this may sound like a new trend, it’s actually been around for centuries. It originated in Germany where they called it Osterbaum, meaning Easter tree and it symbolizes new life. Decorating trees in Germany is a custom tradition, where people decorate the trees and bushes in their yard with brightly colored eggs that can be hollow, plastic, wooden or even real painted eggs. The tradition gained its popularity when a man named Volker Kraft added more and more eggs each year to a tree in his yard topping it off at 10,000 eggs hanging from its branches!

Today, you can find this whimsical traditional still alive with most people using their trees as decor inside of the home. These lovely trees make great centerpieces as well as fun focal pieces displayed throughout the home on tables, mantles and countertops. The tree itself can be made of branches, bushes or plants and you can add your own touches to it as well using a wreath, nest, ribbon detailing or whatever else your creative heart desires. Give your home a little seasonal update and get inspired with these Easter egg themed ideas.
