Making Egg Carton Flowers May 2, 2007
Supplies:
pipe cleaners
Styrofoam egg carton
miscellaneous plastic beads
tissue paper (optional)
scissors
Instructions:
Cut egg carton apart, keeping (and separating) the bottom circles.
Cut tissue paper into squares.
Because pipe cleaners are part metal, they have a built-in needle. Push pipe cleaner through base of "flower" cup.
Push the decorative paper onto the pipe cleaner also.
To finish: place one or a few beads on tip, beads should fit snug. If you only have pony beads, give it extra pipe cleaner, fold over and twist.
Adjust cup if desired.
Place in a nice vase and give to someone special, mom perhaps? This is an easy craft, and helps to re-use the unrecyclable Styrofoam egg cartons.
