From classy Scandi Chic muted to Colourful egg-travaganza! Here are some truly beautiful ideas for feather & egg bedazzled twigs and how to create your own Scandinavian Easter tree!
The colorful twigs with feathers are popular all over Scandinavia for Easter. Bound by birch twigs, the påskris was in the 17th century used for Long Friday’s flagellation. Today you source twigs from the forest but you can also buy them at local supermarkets. The twigs are decorated with colourful feathers and hand painted eggs (blown out -not boiled!). Some also decorate with roosters, hens, chickens and witches.
Here are 5 beautiful Scandinavian easter trees, as inspiration to get you started!
Hand painted eggs is my favourite decoration for the Easter tree. It’s a lovely activity for everyone in the family.
