Eggshell or Egg Carton Tulips
Make a bouquet of delicate eggshell tulips for Easter, using eggshells (or foam egg cartons sections) and pipe cleaners. Younger children will find it easier to use the egg carton sections.
| | Supplies needed: - Eggshells (or foam egg cartons sections)
- Green pipe cleaners
- Tempera paint and markers
- Hot glue or white glue
| | Clean eggshell halves and dry them gently. Or, for an easier craft with more durable flowers, use foam egg carton sections. Cut the cartons sections to look like a tulip. Using tempera paint, decorate the shells to look like tulips. Let the paint dry overnight. When the paint is completely dry, add details to the tulips using markers. | | Twirl one end of a green pipe cleaner into a spiral shape (this will be glued onto the base of the tulip). | | Glue the spiral to the tulip (if using white glue, let it set for a few hours). | |
