Step 1

Place your oasis brick on top of a bowl of water to soak.

Leave until it has soaked through fully.

Step 2

Collect together all the greenery you wish to use. We chose a mixture of greens and yellows!

Trim them all down to shorter lengths ready.

Step 3

Find any dried flowers from your garden and give them a spray of colour with a bright spray paint.

We chose yellow, leave to dry.

Step 4

Place your soaked oasis brick on to your oasis tray on your mantle where you want your arrangement to be.

You may want to apply some double-sided tape to the underside of your tray to keep it in place on your mantlepiece.

Step 5

Start to fill your oasis with your foraged greenery. We also added a large branch upright to create some height.

Create your basic shape with your largest pieces. You want to build an almost triangular shape.

Step 6

Build up your greenery, pressing each stem into the oasis and filling all the gaps.

Step 7

Next, position in your sprayed dried flowers. These will give height and colour. Group them together in twos or threes.

Step 8

On the other side of your mantle, place a wooden slice down and add any kind of empty bottle or vase with some branches from your garden.

Step 9

Next, paint your hanging eggs with acrylic paint in any colour you wish. We've given our hanging eggs two coats of pink.

Leave them to dry.

Step 10

Next, place your Easter décor items around as you like. To keep a natural theme, we've gone for a ceramic bunny and cute rattan mini bunny which adds some lovely texture.

Step 11

Once dry, hang your eggs on the branches of the tree. You can also add some decorative ribbon to your bottle or vase, we've tied ours around and finished it with a long bow.

Step 12

Using the dried flowers and a glue gun, attach the small colourful buds and flowers to your branch to create a springing into bloom effect.

Add as many as you like by dotting glue on your branch and holding the items to apply.
