Egg Carton Flowers

Egg Carton Flower Bouquet

​It’s always a great idea to use found and recycled materials for art making, especially if you’re stuck in the house with spring on the way. Make this lovely flower bouquet with paper egg cartons.

Egg Carton Flowers

This project is such a great way to get creative, especially if you’re trying to use the materials you have on hand. I of course always have colored paper around but if you don’t, you could always use things like old folders, gift bags, wrapping paper or old party napkins, don’t be afraid to scrounge around for useful art materials, there’s always an opportunity turn nothing into something.

So again I’m sharing a few spring projects all at once here on the blog because like many Americans and people around the world, I’ve been in the house and trying to come up with something creative for my students to do at home as well. Just check out my video tutorial below for instructions on how I put this together and have some fun!

Materials:

• Cardstock paper or any paper you have around
• Craft Paint
• Glue, I like tacky glue
• Egg carton
• Paper straws
• Scissors

Remember you can replace any of these materials with what you have, be creative!
