Turn trash into unbelievably beautiful blooms with this recycled egg carton flower craft! Make a bunch with cupcake liners in different colors and sizes.

Making sure your pantry always has enough eggs is a good thing. For one, you’re always ready to prepare a simple meal – scrambled eggs, omelette or just pancakes. And secondly, all those egg cartons can be turned into some cool stuff!

We believe that pretty much everything can be reused, recycled or upcycled. It may be because they’re hardy enough or because of their shape, but you can do all that with egg cartons! You can turn them into pretty egg carton daffodils or some cute egg carton mushrooms.

Today, we’ve taken our egg cartons and turned them into beautiful blooms with this recycled egg carton flower craft. They’re so bright and colorful, you’ll want to make a whole bunch!

This is such an easy craft, even little kids can make it with some adult supervision. The tough parts are cutting out the egg carton and getting the flower shapes right. This would make a great craft for spring, summer, Valentine’s Day or Teacher’s Day. It would also work excellently as a Mother’s Day craft for kids to make in the classroom and bring home to Mom. I can just imagine the look on Mom’s face when she sees these pretty flowers!
