Steps:

  2. 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. 
  3. Next, paint each flower, you’ll need 2-3 coats to get very bright flowers.
  4. Once the flowers are dry you can choose to paint them with glitter mod podge. 
  5. Glue your flowers towards the top of your canvas or paper.
  6. If using pipe cleaners tie a ribbon around the number you choose to use. Then glue the bunch of stems under your flowers.
