Ask your little helpers to add the special touch to Easter gifting this year, with these gorgeous egg carton glow ups!
These humble little containers are more versatile than you think. With a little bit of imagination and some craft supplies, you can transform them into stunning gift boxes that will leave everyone in awe.
Step 1: Gather & Prep
Before you dive into this exciting project, make sure you have all the necessary supplies. Here's a list to get you started:
- Cardboard Egg cartons (I prefer half dozen cartons)
- Poster Paints
- Paintbrush
- Palette
- Decorations: Ribbon, Easter figures, glitter, etc - whatever you have on hand
Cover your table or work area to prevent paint transferring. Have a little pot of water (for colour changes) ready and some paper towel on hand.
Step 2: Ready, Set - Paint!
Now comes the fun part. Grab the paint and let those mini imaginations run wild. Do they like creating intricate patterns? Perhaps they'd like to paint easter characters? Or maybe blocks of colour is more their style?
Once the paint is dry, it's time to add some extra pizzazz. Sprinkle some glitter over the painted surfaces, glue on some craft decorations - whatever the kids' think will give it the magic touch.
Step 3: Fill Them with Goodies
Now that your egg cartons are looking schmicko, it's time to fill them with goodies! Load them up with choccy eggs, or perhaps some healthy easter egg shaped bliss balls depending on the audience!
Finish with ribbon or twine.
Step 4: Spread the Joy
Now that your egg-cellent gifts are ready, it's time to spread the joy! Surprise your family, friends, or teacher with these unique and personalised gifts. They will love it.
