How to Decorate with a Recycled Paper Tree for Easter

Quick answer

Use the Mix & Match Natural Recycled Paper Tree as a versatile Easter decoration on your table, mantle, or windowsill. Bend the branches to hold lightweight ornaments or spring blooms for a natural, eco-friendly look.

How to style your recycled paper tree

1. Choose a stable spot: Place the tree on a flat, dry surface like a table center, mantle, or windowsill. Because the tree is light, it may tip if bumped, so keep it away from high-traffic areas or secure it with a small weight at the base. Avoid placing it near open windows or where pets might knock it over.
2. Shape the branches: Gently bend the paper branches outward or upward to create the silhouette you want. The branches hold their shape well, but over-bending may crease the paper. Work slowly and stop when you like the look. Less is more — start with small adjustments and step back to check the overall shape.
3. Add lightweight decorations: Hang small paper eggs, wooden beads, or dried flowers from the branches. Avoid heavy ornaments as the paper branches are not designed to support much weight. If you use string, tie it loosely to avoid tearing the paper. Use natural materials like twine or cotton thread to keep the eco-friendly look.
4. Pair with complementary decor: Surround the tree with other natural Easter items such as linen napkins, wooden eggs, or a simple bunny decoration. The tree works best when it is not crowded — leave some visual space around it so the shape stands out. A plain white or neutral tablecloth helps the tree become the focal point.
5. Store flat between uses: When the season is over, gently flatten the branches and store the tree in a dry, cool place. Paper can absorb moisture, so avoid basements or damp rooms. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Slide it into a large envelope or between two sheets of cardboard to keep it from getting crushed.
