Recycle your egg cartons to make a bouquet that will last forever!
Materials:
- Cardboard egg cartons
- Scissors
- Craft acrylic paint in spring colors
- Paint brush
- Construction paper or pipe cleaners for stems
- Tacky or hot glue
- Canvas or cardstock
- Buttons (optional)
- Glitter Mod Podge (optional)
Steps:
- Start by painting your canvas and allowing it to dry for 10-15 minutes. If you do not have a canvas, cardstock works just fine.
- Carefully cut apart your egg carton, each egg holder will be one flower. You can also trim each flower to have petals if you’d like.
- Next, paint each flower, you’ll need 2-3 coats to get very bright flowers.
- Once the flowers are dry you can choose to paint them with glitter mod podge.
- Glue your flowers towards the top of your canvas or paper.
- If using pipe cleaners tie a ribbon around the number you choose to use. Then glue the bunch of stems under your flowers.
- For some final touches you could glue buttons to the center of the flowers.
