Spring decorating can get pricey fast, especially when you want something that feels seasonal but not flimsy. This Easter egg tray wreath is a creative way to turn a simple egg container into cheerful Easter décor.

Finished Easter egg tray wreath decorated with painted eggs, wood cut outs, and moss.

The project uses materials you may already have or can grab at a thrift store, takes very little time, and works for doors, walls, or even table displays.

If you like crafts that feel relaxing rather than fussy, this one fits perfectly. I’ll walk you through the step by step instructions on how to assemble the spring wreath, plus a few easy ways to customise it with paint or faux florals. You can keep it soft and neutral or go full pastel Easter energy. Let’s get started!

How to Make an Easter Egg Tray Wreath

Preparing the Plastic Eggs

Paint the plastic eggs with blue chalky paint. Let the paint dry and add an extra coat of paint for better coverage.

Add a bit of brown paint onto a paint brush and gently tap the handle so that paint flicks onto the eggs. This will give the eggs a speckled look.

Preparing the Wreath

Next, paint your wood cut outs and let dry. We used carrots and a bunny.

Glue the painted eggs onto the tray.

Adding painted Easter eggs onto a plastic tray.

Glue moss onto the tray, covering as much of the eggs and tray as you like.

Add the wood cut outs to the middle of the tray.

Lastly, attach a bow and bunny to the top of the wreath.

Display and enjoy!

Colour & Style Variations

Plastic eggs take paint really well. Acrylic craft paint works best, but chalk paint gives a softer, farmhouse feel. Pastels are a classic Easter choice, though white, cream, or muted greens look great for subtle spring décor.

How to Display Your Easter Egg Tray Wreath

Welcome guests by hanging your Easter egg wreath on a front door using a ribbon or removable hook for an easy seasonal update.
It also looks sweet above a mantel or shelf paired with simple spring greenery.
For a table-based home décor idea, lean it against the wall as part of an Easter vignette with candles or decorative eggs.
It also works beautifully as a gift décor idea when tied with twine and a small tag.

Charming and Festive

It’s a relaxed project you can finish in one sitting, with plenty of room to make it your own. If you give it a try, don’t forget to snap a photo and save it for next year. Feel free to share or pin this project so it’s easy to find when spring rolls around again.
