Recycled Egg Carton Tulip Craft

By Allison Rebenack April 14, 2011

Have cardboard or paper egg cartons left over from Easter? Why not let the kids use them to make a fun fall craft.

You will need:

  •  cardboard or paper egg carton
  • green pipe cleaners
  • markers, paint or crayons
  • pom poms
  • craft glue
  • bud vase

 Directions:

  1. Cut out the egg carton so that cups are the only things left and you have 12 cups.
  2. Let the kiddos decorate the egg carton cups with markers, paint or crayons.
  3. Poke a hole in the bottom of the cup with a pen and feed some of a pipe cleaner in and bend to secure.
  4. Use craft glue to secure a pom pom in the center.
  5. Display the beautiful spring bouquet in a bud vase.
