When we’re not decorating — and snacking — on Peeps and chocolate, we’re adding spring colors and festive decor to our home in honor of our favorite pastel-laden holiday. While the Easter bunny might not make regular stops at our home anymore, there’s no reason we can’t still revel in the holiday. If you’ve got a corner or a tabletop that needs a spring makeover, consider adding one of these 13 Easter decorations to your collection.
1. Striped Runner ($68): It wouldn’t be Easter brunch without colorful, spring-y table linens. Roll out the striped carpet to show off your fancy quiche.
2. Pastel Tray ($19): Don’t keep such a pretty tray hidden away in your bedroom. Put it on display on your coffee table, and load it up with succulents and a ceramic bunny.
3. Roger Bunny Rabbit ($20): Speaking of bunnies, your kiddos will love these pillows, featuring their favorite chocolate-bearing bunny.
4. Pastel Pots ($48): Give your house plants a spring facelift with these pretty little pastel planters.
5. Easter Egg Pillow Cover ($36): We adore pillow covers. In just one minute, you can take your living room throw pillows from winter cozy to Easter glory.
6. Hexagon Candles ($30): We wouldn’t blame you if you ended up using these candles all spring long.
7. Ceramic Egg Carton ($12): It seems a shame to store your decorated Easter eggs in a cardboard container. Make them gram-able in this ceramic carton.
8. Cupcake Kit ($13): Don’t let your Easter cupcakes fall under the radar. This cupcake kit will easily make them the stars of the dessert table.
9. Bunny Doorstop ($54): How adorable is this bunny doorstop? It’s just perfect for greeting your guests as they arrive for brunch.
10. Pastel Tassel Garland ($39): Hang it high or hang it low. Hang these tassels wherever you think needs a pop of color — aka everywhere.
11. Neon Napkin ($6): With all those pastels going on, serving brunch with neon napkins will certainly bring that bit of sass to the table.
12. Easter Egg Candles ($7): Anything that’s colorful and gold is a winner in our books.
13. Pink Vase Collection ($44): Display those blooms in ombre style with these beautiful frosted vases that promise to bring spring to wherever they’re placed.

Getting the word out about your brand takes time, drive, and ingenuity. And it doesn't come easy for many entrepreneurs. As part of our collaboration with Office Depot, we're chatting with Selfmade alum Taylor Morgan McPherson, founder of Sustainable Sparkle Bar, about ways in which she scored press as a solo startup brand and what she learned from Selfmade to take her brand marketing up a notch.
B + C: How did you know Sustainable Sparkle Bar was your business to start?
Glitter has always been my thing, so when I started my event company I decided to make it my niche. I started telling people I threw glitter-themed parties where people would get sparkled with glitter body art and makeup. Six months after that I applied to my first festival and to work with SUR restaurant in West Hollywood.
B + C: What's one strategy that's helped you start your business?
I honestly can't say that I've had a specific strategy that I've followed when it comes to getting my business off the ground. I have a PR background so I was just constantly pitching new business and posting on social media.
B + C: What's the biggest challenge you face as a small business owner?
I would say creating a stable income and revenue stream. With a seasonal, event-based business it can be very up and down.
B + C: What was your most valuable takeaway from Selfmade?
The relationships I made and the push to start an email database.
B + C: How do you stay motivated?
I love what I do and I believe in myself 100%. Staying motivated isn't the hard part. Pushing myself to do the work and staying accountable is the hard part.
B + C: What's your best organizational tip? Do you use any apps that help you manage your business?
I keep multiple to-do lists, hand-written and digital. I also tell clients and partners that I will have something to them by a certain time or day so I have to stick to it.
B + C: What's one piece of advice you would give to female entrepreneurs on the brink of starting?
Just do it, take the leap. And don't worry about what anyone else says to thinks.
B + C: Who inspires you in the entrepreneurial space?
Issa Rae, I'm so inspired by everything that she's created being a creative and a black woman. It's my dream to have my own show one day based on my life and where I give advice and talk about the world. She's doing it and making people laugh and giving people joy. And it's based in LA. Watching Insecure only further cemented my dreams of wanting to live in LA.
B + C: How did you hear about the Office Depot scholarship?
One of my friends that I met through Camp No Counselors saw an IG ad for it and nominated me.
B + C: What has receiving the scholarship to Selfmade done to help you start/grow your business?
It's completely helped me level up and take my business to another level. Selfmade helped me host my first virtual event and taught me how to set up my website to sell tickets to events and get RSVPs.
B + C: How have Office Depot services or products helped you accomplish more in your business?
I got new cards to send in all of my orders with my discount code on them. I also bought a really cool 4K camera that I now use for my social media.
Thanks Taylor! You really know how to sparkle. We love her colorful, creative vibe. You can follow Sustainable Sparkle Bar on Instagram @sustainablesparklebar.
