Looking for ways to keep little hands busy during springtime? Get out your craft supplies and rummage through the recycle bin. These Egg Carton Flowers are easy to make and a fun way to re-purpose materials you may typically toss.
First, gather all of your supplies and protect your work area with a table cloth or cover.
Use scissors to cut out the single egg containers from the carton. Trim edges further and make necessary cuts to make the petals look more open.
Decorate flowers with various colors of acrylic paint, making sure to cover every crevice of the pulp paper.
While the paint is wet, add a sprinkle of iridescent glitter for a touch of sparkle.
Finish the flowers off by adding a rhinestone or sequin in the center.
Paint popsicle sticks green or use a brown marker to create the stems.
Use a glue gun to attach the flowers to the popsicle sticks.
Fill mason jars with decorative grass. Push popsicle sticks into filling until they are raised at different levels or to your liking.
