LET'S GET CRAFTY

with Alexandra Maliwacki

Egg carton flowers

Materials Needed:

Egg Carton (Not foam)

Paint

Paper Straw

Pom Poms

Scissors

Glue

Paintbrush(es)

How to:

First you’ll have an adult cut out four containers out of the egg carton. Trim around the edges so that it gives it a rounder shape for the petals of the flower.

Squirt some acrylic paint colors onto a paper plate and have the kids paint their flowers. Use any colors you’d like- a pastel palate looks super cute!

After the paint’s dried you can attach the stem of the flower by gluing it to the back. Use a paper straw so that it is thick enough to hold up the egg carton, if you use something like a pipe cleaner it will just bend. Next choose a colored pom pom and glue that to the center of the painted egg carton.

Voila!
