Easter trees are now very much a thing in the UK. And actually, they've been a thing in Germany for ages, where there's a long tradition of gathering pretty, bud-laden twigs (often from a pussy-willow tree) and decorating them with colourful Easter eggs – chocolate, ceramic or card – to make an 'Ostereierbaum'.

Here's how to make an Easter tree in 5 easy steps

What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Place your tree where you'd like it to be. If you've collected branches, you could place them in a Mason jar or big vase or jug.

2. Decorate your ceramic or cardboard eggs with in bright paint colours – spots and stripes work well.

3. Once the paint on the eggs is dry, glue on ribbon bows, if you like.

4. Hang the eggs on the branches.

5. Add an Easter bunny or some Easter chicks around the base, if you like, for an extra Easter-y touch.
