Here’s how to make your Easter spread sing without spending a fortune . . .
LUNCH BUNCH: Bright daffodils are the ultimate spring flower and will bring some simple cheer to your Easter table. Buy a bunch for £1 from Tesco.
Tulips also look great and are a relatively cheap — a bunch costs £2.50 from Asda.
BACKGROUND DETAILS: An Easter-themed tablecloth is an easy way to transform your table.
Tesco has an Easter paper table cover, £2, that can be bought with a pack of rabbit-themed napkins, £1.50.
EASTER TREE: Decorative branches are not just for Christmas. For an Easter spin, find three or four thin twigs or sticks in your garden or local park.
You want the twigs to stand in a small glass vase or large glass at the centre of the table, so look for the size accordingly.
Then fill the bottom of the vase with small craft Easter eggs — you can get a pack of 36 from Ryman for £2.

Place the twigs inside the vase and hang Easter-style decorations from them. For example, give children egg-shaped card or paper to colour and hang.
NEST EGG: Another centrepiece idea is a fabulous large egg sitting in a nest.
Hobbycraft sells a large mache one for £2, which you can decorate with paint or glitter to suit the table.
Find lots of small twigs, wash and arrange them into a nest-style shape in the middle of the table and place the egg on top.
You could even use the shells of hard-boiled eggs to create a feature.
Arrange the shells, with eggs removed, in a small basket of moss, sticks and flower buds to create a lovely nod to spring and Easter.
You could also add egg-shaped candles to the table, £2, each from Poundshop.com.
