Read on for all the egg-cellent ideas.

First up, these egg-shaped bath bombs. Using plastic eggs as molds, these Easter-basket fillers are pretty enough to double as decor.

Hit the craft store instead of the grocery store for eggs this year. These clay eggs are simple to make, super colorful and will last for many Easter celebrations to come.

Nothing says spring like fresh blooms, and these tiny, potted place cards — made from plastic eggs — are sure to sprout smiles. Making these planters is as easy as a dot of hot glue. Your guests can take them home as favors or you can reuse them year after year.

This sweet Easter centerpiece features everyone's favorite Easter goodies. The secret to creating this darling display is sandwiching the candy between a Mason jar and the outer glass vase. Then, fill the jar with water and spring blooms.

This Easter wreath made of plastic eggs is low on cost but high on style. To make sure your wreath leans more sophisticated than gaudy, stick with pastel-colored eggs (instead of their brightly-colored cousins). Add a touch of gold by spray painting half of some of the eggs, and finish it off with a pretty ribbon. Plastic eggs have never looked so chic!

This carrot-themed arrangement is perfect for a spring table. A jar inside of the vase holds the carrots in place while hydrangeas, color-coordinated tulips and parsley (to mimic carrot tops) give the illusion the carrots are blooming. Add a bow, and you'll have a centerpiece every bunny will love — and your guests too.

Use mirror tile stickers to give plastic eggs the disco effect. You can add them to a kid's basket, but these eggs really shine as decor. Place them in a pretty bowl on a countertop or coffee table, and wait for the light to catch them. Stunning!

A couple of scraps of fabric, two embroidery hoops and some yarn are all it takes to make this cute-as-a-bunny door hanger. Use neutral fabric for a soft, classic look or make your door decor bright and cheerful with floral fabric. Either way, this cotton-tailed pal is sure to be a delightful addition to your spring porch.

No one will ever guess these aren't real eggs. When painted white, these wood eggs look just like the real thing, but they're even better because they can be reused every year. Creating this faux watercolor effect is easy, affordable and equally fun for kids and adults.

Homemade treats add a special touch to Easter baskets, and this no-bake bark featuring white chocolate and graham crackers couldn't be easier. Little helpers will love decorating the bark with a variety of candies — and it's a perfect treat for neighbors, teachers and friends.

Take plastic eggs from pastel to pastoral by covering them with adhesive moss sheets. You can also use wooden eggs for a more natural alternative. These eggs look so pretty in a nest or nestled into a bowl with other organic materials.

Turn plastic eggs into an adorable, lighted garland to string along the mantel. Use up extra craft supplies — like buttons, pom-pom trim and faux flowers — to create an Easter decoration that feels uniquely yours.

Spuds make a surprisingly adorable stand-in for real eggs. Bonus: You can follow the usual instructions on your dye kit to make these.

A carrot door hanger made from trash? Indeed! This rustic-but-chic decor is created by twisting old newspaper into carrot shapes and wrapping them in orange twine. Finish it off with faux greenery and a bow, then hang it on your front door for a splash of color throughout the season.

These DIY candy jars are a creative way to celebrate Easter. Inexpensive materials and simple instructions make them ideal projects for little helpers. Plus, they look just as darling on the counter as they do in a basket. Choose between a bunny, a chick or a magical meadow — or make all three!

While this understated spring wreath featuring tulips and willow is certainly lovely, it's the charming bird's nest tucked into the branches that makes it extra special. The wreath is easy to craft, especially since the base is a grapevine wreath, and the nest is fun to form. Fill the nest with hand-painted wooden Robin's eggs to delight everyone who enters.

Peep this charming Easter basket that couldn't be easier to create. You can easily customize the size by using different buckets. Fill it with treats or gifts for your favorite little chickies.
