Egg Carton Rose Brooch

Total Time: 45 minutes plus dry time

Supplies:

• egg carton
• scissors
• paint
• paintbrush
• glue
• button pin
• hot glue gun

Steps:

1. Cut out a square of four egg compartments.

 
2. Cut into four bowls, trimming off all the high edges.

 
3. Make cuts into one of the bowls, up to the circular section in the middle, to make 6 petals.

 
4. Another bowl should have 5 petals, and the last two bowls should have four petals.

5. Trim the edges of the pedals so they are rounded.

 
6. Paint all sides and edges. Allow to dry completely.

 
7. Apply glue to the middle and the base of 2 of the side petals on the 6-petal piece.

 
8. Bring the 2 petals up and make them hug each other. Hold firmly until it stays in the position by itself.

9. Add glue to the other petal bases and bring up in the same manner, hugging them onto the center piece.

 
10. Now you have the center of the rose that you will glue into the next piece.

 
11. Add glue to the center of the 5-petal piece.

 
12. Firmly affix the rose piece you just made onto it. Glue the next petals up, slightly staggering the petals.
