This post is all about a sample Easter centerpiece!
1. When Creating a Centerpiece, Always Start with your Base

Whether you are creating an Easter centerpiece for a big Easter celebration or just to brighten up your home for your family, you will always need a base at the center of the table no matter how extravagant your centerpiece aims to be. In this case, the base of my Easter tablescape is my wooden tray from Hobby Lobby. I use this tray all year round on our kitchen table and tweak it for the holidays.
Here are some other examples of a good centerpiece base:
- a glass bowl or glass vase filled with fresh flowers
- a basket of faux greenery and faux eggs
- a cutting board or wooden box with with stacks of clay pots and faux eggs on them

2. Once you have your base for your Centerpiece, Decorate it!

Once you establish your base, it’s time for the fun part–decorate! I decided to leave my black stand with the glass dome, and candle as the focal point and then filled the tray with my DIY faux eggs. Why don’t you use my tutorial and make some of your own? It’s a fun craft to do while watching TV or hanging with the kids. It’s basically paper mache.

As I am writing this post, I realize I might need to mix some green Easter basket grass with the eggs next year. How cute would that be?
Here are some other ways to spruce up your Easter centerpiece base:
- You could also fill your Easter centerpiece with faux greenery and some terracotta pots
- If you’re looking for an fancier touch, consider adding elegant taper candles for a soft glow
- You can also experiment with artificial flowers to make floral arrangements if you prefer a low-maintenance option!
Check out what I did with some faux carrots for inspiration on my Decorating for Easter post. Adding a playful touch with bunny figurines or hot glue crafting some delicate ribbons around your Easter baskets can also bring the whole look together beautifully.
3. Once your Centerpiece Base is finished, add a Table Runner
A festive Easter table runner is the perfect choice to complete your centerpiece! While it’s not essential for your Easter decorations, it adds an extra touch to your tablescape and helps tie everything together beautifully. This year, I added a new runner to my Easter gathering décor collection—I love picking up one or two fresh pieces each season. Can you believe I found this one at Walmart? I even spotted it cheaper on Amazon — click here!
If you’re going for a classic centerpiece, opt for a lace runner or a neutral-toned linen for an elegant, timeless look. A floral or pastel runner, on the other hand, brings a playful touch and creates a more colorful centerpiece. No matter your personal style, a well-chosen table runner is the best way to enhance your Easter tablescape and celebrate the arrival of spring.
