Easter Egg Holder Craft
dec 2006 073 (Medium).jpg
Ok, I know Valentine’s Day isn’t even past, but we were unpacking the eggs and I suddenly thought of a way to use the cartons. (I hate to throw things like that out…) We made a bunch of these little individual egg cups for our Easter eggs, but this one is my nephew’s favorite.

To make them, you will need an egg carton, scissors, a hole punch, yarn or pipe cleaners, paint or ink pads, and embellishments. Cut out each egg carton piece and even out the edges. Then paint the outside of the carton pieces. It was so late that I didn’t want to pull out the paints, so we rubbed nontoxic ink pads on ours.

Once the paint is dry, its time for the fun part. Punch two holes in the carton pieces so you have a place to tie your yarn or pipe cleaner handles. Once the handles are on, you can start decorating your egg cups. Stickers, little flowers, glitter glue, charms-you can use almost anything.
