Looking for an easy Easter craft? Here are the step-by-step directions to make this DIY Easter egg door hanger.

A wicker basket filled with white eggs decorated with floral patterns in red, blue, and pink sits on a marble surface. Additional decorated eggs are placed in front of the basket, showcasing floral designs.

Yesterday I shared a sneak peek of these eggs.

I found them in the Target Dollar spot in a set of 6 with their cute little flowers and vines.

It was love at first egg sight.

I brought them home and used them to decorate the family room for spring (ICYMI, you can see the decorating here).

But then?

I had a few left over and so I decided to use them in a project. You can recreate this project with any kind of eggs..

What do you think I made?

A wreath? Nope.

A garland? Nope.

An egg topiary? Nope.

Instead?

I made this.

A black door with a golden knocker adorned with a decorative hanging of fabric carrots. The carrots are white with colorful floral patterns and are tied with a light blue ribbon with a bow.

A DIY Easter Egg hanger for the door.

Isn’t it so Easter Egg cute?

And in amazing news? It was SUCH a simple project and after Easter is over it would be so simple to take apart and just use the eggs next year.

Want to see how I made it?

Here are the step-by-step instructions.

A decorative arrangement of hanging white eggs painted with colorful floral patterns, including pink, red, and blue flowers. The eggs are tied with white ribbons and topped with a blue and white checkered bow.

DIY Easter Egg Door Hanger

wood eggs (these eggs are the ones from Target but you can use any type of wood eggs)

ribbon

hot glue

flowers

floral wire

Three spools of white ribbon stacked on a marble surface.

1. Cut ribbon

Cut different lengths of ribbon.

This hanger has 24 eggs, so I cut 24 lengths of ribbon from 12” to 18″ long.

The longer the ribbon, the better (you can always cut the pieces shorter later).

White jasmine flowers with green stems are scattered on a smooth, light gray marble surface. The delicate petals and leaves create a soft, elegant composition.

2. Cut flowers

You’ll need 24 flowers.

Detach them from the stems and the leaves so you just have the flower petals.

I got these at Hobby Lobby, but you can use any type of smaller flowers like these.

Decorative eggs painted with pastel floral patterns are arranged on a light marble surface, each with a white ribbon attached. The soft colors include pink, blue, and green, creating a delicate and festive appearance.

3. Glue ribbon

Put a drop of hot glue on the end of the egg.

Add the ribbon to the drop of hot glue and then place a flower petal on top.

Press in place with the end of a pencil.

Repeat for all 24 egg ribbons.

A bouquet of lavender sachets, tied with white ribbons, rests on a marble surface. The sachets are decorated with floral patterns in pastel colors, and small white flowers are tucked in among them.

4. Layer eggs and tie

Start adding the egg ribbons together.

I held them in one hand and layered them together so the colors were varied and the lengths of the ribbons so the eggs were layered in rows.

It took a little bit to get the hanger exactly how I wanted it to look with the right about of layering. After everything was in place, I tied a big knot at the end.

Then I trimmed off the top of the knot.

A black door adorned with floral-patterned hanging wooden eggs, tied together with light blue gingham ribbons, suspended from a golden door knocker. The overall appearance is festive and decorative.

5. Attach floral wire and ribbon

I wrapped the floral wire around the knot and wired it to the door hanger.

You could do the same thing with a wreath hanger or a hook on the wall.

I don’t think a command hook would work with this hanger because it’s a little bit heavy and might need some more support.

After the hanger was wired onto the door hanger, I tied a ribbon around the top of the knot to hide it.

Then I added another piece of ribbon and notched the ends on both pieces.

A cluster of decorative eggs painted with colorful floral patterns, hanging from light blue gingham ribbons against a dark background. The eggs feature red, blue, and green designs, and each is topped with a small, light bow.

A black door with a golden knocker adorned with a decorative hanging of fabric carrots. The carrots are white with colorful floral patterns and are tied with a light blue ribbon with a bow.

That’s it.

My favorite part about this hanger? After Easter is over, the hot glue will just peel off the end of the eggs if you want to reuse them for next year.

Or you could just keep the hanger and re-hang next year.

The decorating possibilities are endless.

Have eggs.

Will decorate.

    So very cute and festive! You may want to rethink the glue you use if you have a storm door in front of the other door. A surprise could be waiting for you at your feet if it’s a very warm day. Ask me how I know! Happy spring💗🌹💗

    Really cute but with the wind we're having the constant knocking on the door would drive us and our dog nuts! I'd have to find a way to keep every egg in place.

    Wow, KariAnne, you are Missy Creativity of Quite A lot. The eggs are pretty, the colors are beautiful. What can’t you do? I’m loving the little flowers on the eggs. Looks great on your front door.

    So adorably creative and simple to make! I'd have to use it indoors instead as our spring winds are enough to whirl Dorothy and Toto to another world! 😵‍💫 How cute this would also be on the inside of the front door or pantry door. This also would be a precious idea for "Our Little Nest is Growing" baby shower! I think I need to head to Target and get some!!

    What a great idea. SO cute. But gotta tell ya - your idea and MY idea of having "a few left over" is quite different.
