Decorating your Easter table with greenery and treats is simpler than you might think. This delicious floral bread served with vegetable dips and these chewy chocolate cookies made with lavender and leftover Easter eggs are simple to make, and will be on the table in no time. And then it's time for the finishing touch: eggs served in a green wreath! Find out below what you need and how to make them yourself in just a few steps.

you will need

Egg dishes
Scissors
Binding wire (green)
Moss
Green twigs of your choice. We used fern and corkscrew grass (Juncus Spiralis)

how to make it

Using binding wire, make the round miniature frames for your wreaths. Make sure they will fit an egg inside them.
Collect the moss and green twigs you want to use for the egg wreaths. Wrap a little moss and sprigs around the frames until you are happy with the result. Does your egg shell not have a dimple (for the egg) in the centre? Then make sure the inside of the wreath is just big enough so that the egg stays firmly in place.
We chose to keep the wreath green, but go wild with colour if that suits you better. For example, decorate the wreaths with flowers in spring colours, such as yellow and purple pansies, or pink cherry blossoms.
Your egg wreath is ready! Time to surprise your dining companions.
