Repurposed Plastic Egg Carton Floral Wreath

"I wondered if clear plastic egg cartons would be like shrink film, to see if they would shrink in the oven. My goodness, they do. So I cut up two egg cartons removing the cups and the divider pieces, painted them with regular acrylic craft paint and popped them in the oven to make this fresh as spring flower wreath. It took me about four hours to make but was so fun to have a whimsical wreath."

Materials List

• plastic egg cartons
• acrylic paint
