Egg Carton Flowers

This fun and easy project is perfect for kids and parents to try at home. Use your recycled egg cartons to create a beautiful and decorative flower bouquet.

Materials Needed For Project

  • Medium Sized Tin Can 
  • Egg Cartons
  • Popsicle Sticks
  • Paint (We liked yellow and purple paint for the egg cartons, purple and magenta for the popsicle sticks) 
  • Colored Buttons
  • Green Pipe cleaners
  • Large ribbon
  • Green paper filler
  • Glue Dots or Hot glue gun

Follow the Steps Below

  • Step 1: Cut out your egg cartons. (You may need to round the edges when cutting so that they look more like petals.)
  • Step 2: Paint your egg cartons. (We made 5 flowers so you’ll need 5 egg cartons painted purple and 5 yellow.)
  • Step 3: Once dry, make a hole in the bottom of the egg carton with a pencil.
  • Step 4: Place glue on the inside of the purple egg carton and then place the yellow one on top.
  • Step 5: Fold over your pipe cleaner so that the folded part is at the bottom of the stem of the flower.
  • Step 6: Push the top 2 pieces through the egg carton holes and twist the pipe cleaner all the way down so that the two halves come together and make the pipe cleaner stem stronger.
  • Step 7: Glue your button on top of the pipe cleaner in the center of the egg carton.
  • Step 8: Paint your popsicle sticks in two different colors. (We liked purple and magenta. We used glue dots to glue them to the can.)
  • Step 9: Now add paper filler inside your can and place your flowers inside.
  • Step 10: Tie ribbon around the can and give it to someone special
