Egg Carton Flowers

Egg Carton Flower Craft

Egg Carton Flower Craft

Here's are some cute flowers that kids can make for their mothers and grandmothers. Supplies:
  • Pipe cleaners
  • styrofoam egg carton
  • misc. plastic beads
  • tissue paper (optional)
  • scissors

1. Cut egg carton apart, keeping (and separating) the bottom circles. Cut tissue paper into squares.

2. Because pipe cleaners are part metal, they have a built-in needle. Push pipe cleaner through base of "flower" cup.

3. Push the decorative paper onto the pipe cleaner also.

4. 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.

5. 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 stryrofoam egg cartons.
