Adorable DIY Easter Favor Ideas
1. Mini Easter Baskets with Treats
Tiny baskets filled with chocolate eggs, pastel jelly beans, or homemade cookies make a charming and easy favor. Personalize them by tying a ribbon around the handle and adding a small name tag.
Tip: Use a small ceramic or wire basket for an elegant look that guests can reuse as décor.

2. Burlap Bunny Ornaments
If you love rustic décor, you’ll adore this simple craft. I repurposed an Easter garland to create adorable bunny ornaments.
How to make it:
- Cut individual burlap bunnies from a garland strand.
- Tie the remaining burlap string into a loop to create a hanger.
- Attach a small bow or wooden bead for extra charm.
These ornaments can be hung on cabinet knobs, Easter trees, or added to gift bags!

3. DIY Easter Pop-Up Cards
Handmade pop-up cards add a special touch to any tablescape. This year, I found adorable Easter pop-up cards at HomeGoods, but you can also make your own!
Simple DIY Pop-Up Card Idea:
- Use pastel-colored cardstock and fold it in half.
- Cut out a bunny, chick, or egg shape from contrasting paper.
- Attach with a small folded strip of paper to create the “pop-up” effect.
- Write a cute Easter message inside!

These are great for placing on each guest’s plate or adding to an Easter basket.
4. Egg Nest Place Cards
For a more elegant tablescape, use small faux bird nests as both place cards and favors.
How to make them:
- Fill mini nests with speckled candy eggs.
- Write guests’ names on small gift tags and attach them to the nest with twine.
- Place one at each table setting for a charming, personalized touch.
Pairing these nests with neutral-toned linens and wooden chargers creates a beautiful French country Easter look that’s trending this year!

Sometimes, the simplest favors make the biggest impact. I picked up a bag of small chocolate Easter eggs and displayed them in lattice bowls for a touch of elegance.
