My Egg Tree

is one of my most favorite things!  I have collected these eggs for years.  A friend helped me take these awesome pictures.

It is hard to see the scale but it is huge.  I used limbs (branches are too small) from a tree in our yard. Our tree is filled with memories of places we have been and moments shared with friends.  I am amazed with the skill of crafters all over the world to create these beautiful eggs and wooden clips.

Many of the eggs are from Germany where our family spent five years.

Frohe Ostern! (Happy Easter!)

    I also have an Easter tree that I adore! Mine is on a white tree but I love how yours looks so pretty! Maybe I’ll have to try that next year!

  4. amber d. says:

    Love it! Wow- it is beautiful….. And I love how big it is, what a statement!

  5. Missy says:

    That is exactly what I wanted to do 3 years ago – I hand painted eggs for my daughters for the 1st Easter and I wanted to do it each Easter but I never got around to making the tree part. Ugh! I am sad that I never did it. What a beautiful job! I may have to get creative soon and finally do it. Question: How do you store your eggs so they do not get broken. All of the eggs I painted broke!!!

  6. Jackie says:

    Beautiful

  21. gemgirl says:

    That is a beautiful tree. If you use real eggs and hard boil them they will keep and eventually the egg will dry up. Store in an egg carton and each year the shell becomes harder. Plastic eggs can be decorated nicely, too.

  22. cindylouh says:

    The clips are from an area in Germany, the Erzgebirge, known for nutcrackers and other beautiful wooden toys.

  23. cindylouh says:

    The tree part is new each year—-just some branches from a tree. I store most of the eggs in a plastic storage container for Christmas ornaments (if they are really delicate I put some tissue paper in the space). I have some also stored in egg cartons.

  24. Jackie Sue Sokol says:

    Very cute!

  25. Tea says:

    That tree is just beautiful. I love it.

  26. Truly and lovely work of art .. the colors blend so well into your home decor and the tree branches are perfect for those little eggs and other ornaments! Love it!

  27. Tiffany says:

    Love it – What a FUN craft to do with the kiddos too! Thanks so much!
