Repurposed Plastic Egg Carton Floral Wreath

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

For those who appreciate upcycling materials, we recommend trying your hand at a Paper Tube Wall Art project. Collect empty paper towel or toilet paper tubes, cut them into various lengths, and arrange them into a striking pattern on a canvas or board. Paint the tubes in different colors or cover them with decorative paper for a unique and eco-friendly wall art piece that will spark conversations.

If you enjoy creating floral-inspired crafts, consider making a Mason Jar Flower Vase. Simply take a clean empty mason jar and decorate it with paint, ribbon, or adhesive gems to personalize it to your taste. Then fill the vase with fresh or faux flowers to create a charming centerpiece for your table or a thoughtful gift for a friend or family member.

For crafters who like to add a touch of whimsy to their creations, try your hand at a Clothespin Photo Holder project. Paint wooden clothespins in vibrant colors, attach them to a piece of twine or wire, and hang them on a wall. Use the clips to display photos, postcards, or even inspirational quotes for a fun and functional piece of decor that can be easily updated and changed.
