Hello everybody! In today's craft we are going to make some flowers with egg cartons. It is a great craft to decorate walls, to add twigs to make bouquets of flowers and to give or decorate a corner of our house. And also, we are recycling the egg cartons.
Do you want to know how you can make these flowers?
Materials that we will need to make our flowers with egg cartons
- Four egg carton holes per flower. You can do as many as you want taking this measure into account.
- Colored or tempera markers.
- Stick glue, hot silicone, or other paper glue.
- Scissors or cutter.
Hands on craft
- First of all, cut out the holes in the cardboard.
- Of the four we need per flower, we need two holes as big as possible, one a little smaller than these previous ones and the last one the smallest of all.
- After we will make four cuts in each each hole, to obtain four petals.
- We will cut out one of the largest holes with the pointed leaves, while the rest we will make more rounded.
- Once we have the shape of the parts of our flower, let's paint them. The one that we have cut out, we paint it green and the others the color we want for our flower: red, pink, blue, purple, etc. In the smallest hole, we will paint the center of yellow or orange, the color that best fits with the flower. We can also paste a colored button if we want.
- Now we mount the flower putting glue in the center of the parts and pressing well so that it sticks well.
- Now we give the petals a little shape of the flower by folding them as if it were an 'S'.
And ready!
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
