- Hot glue a craft stick onto the back of the egg carton near the bottom.
- Cut a full pipe cleaner in half. Fold 1/2 of a full pipe cleaner to make a leaf. Hot glue onto the stick.
- Cut a felt circle for the center of your flower. You can cut fringe around the edge.
- Use hot glue to attach the felt to the middle of your egg carton.
- Add a button on top of the felt to complete your flower craft.
Notes
- You could also make the leaf out of paper, tissue paper or any material that will glue to the stick.
- Instead of felt, you could use tissue paper or pom poms for the center of your flower.
- Let your young child experiment and have fun making this easy egg carton craft.
- Cardboard egg cartons will be easier to work with instead of styrofoam (and better for the environment, too)
