Easter trees have roots in Swedish traditions, which call for decorating branches with feathers and naturally dyed Easter eggs (more on that a few pages ahead). Easter trees are fun for kids to put together, and they make show-stopping centerpieces or table decor for an Easter meal. The blog The House that Lars Built features several versions, including a simple option with dyed eggs and another with paper feathers.
