We may be experiencing heavy snowfall outdoors, but spring is a bloom inside our house. As a child I can remember making caterpillars out of egg cartons. It was a crafting favorite of art teachers everywhere. Egg cartons are not just for caterpillars though. There are many other possibilities.
Here is a cute & easy alternative to the cute little caterpillar. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, here is a fresh bouquet of egg carton flowers.
Egg Carton Bouquet
What you will need:
A clean egg carton
Paint
Pipe Cleaners
Glue
Directions:
Start with a clean & empty egg carton
Cut into the carton separating each individual section.
Cut out as many as you want to make.
Paint each piece in a different color.
Glue a pipe cleaner to the inside of each cup.
Use a separate pipe cleaner & loop it into leaves around the stem.
