Here’s what you need to make an Egg Carton Flower Wreath:
- Egg carton
- Craft Paints
- Paint Brush
- Paper plate
- Ribbon
- Glue
- Scissors
Directions:
- Start by cutting the egg carton into individual pieces. Cut a slit at each corner and fold back the sides. This will create the “flower petals”.
- Paint each flower your choice of color and set aside to dry.
- Cut the middle out of the paper plate. If you had to cut the edge of the paper plate in order to cut out the middle, you can staple it back together.
- Glue the painted flowers around the edge of the wreath, and tie a piece of ribbon for a bow!
How cute is that? What a delightful craft to display on a wall in your home this spring!
You can even make your own paint to use when crafting this wreath.
