I love spring. The beginning of warmer weather and gardening season. Tulips are one of my favorites. No sign of tulips yet, the crocus and daffodils are blooming. Recycle a egg carton into this tulip craft.
Make your own pretty bouquet. Add it to a jar and put a heart and you can have a Mother’s Day Gift. Enjoy this tulip craft.
Tulip Craft Supplies
- egg carton
- scissors
- acrylic paint – I used red & white
- green pipe cleaners
- green felt
- glue
Step 1.
Cut the egg carton part at the divisions. Then cut the cup into 4 petals. On the sides no divided into petals cut a downward triangle to make the petal.
Step 2
Paint the egg cartons inside and out with paint. I mixed the white with a little red to get 2 colors of pink. Let paint dry.
Step 3
Cut 4 petal for each cup. Cut the edges off. Curve the edges of each petal. Where there is no petal cut a triangle where there is supposed to be 2 petals.
Step 4
Poke 2 holes just big enough for a pipe cleaner. Put the pipe cleaner from underneath of the cup and then down through the other hole.
Leaving most of the pipe cleaner as a stem twist the end of the pipe cleaner around itself.
Step 5
If you like, paint the centers white.
Step 6
Cut the 9 x 12 felt sheet in half vertically. Fold each half in half again and cut. Take the halves and Fold each in thirds and cut a part. Fold each piece in half and cut a triangular point.
Glue a leaf to each stem by starting about 2 1/2 in from the bottom of the stem and wrap the leaf from the stem and apply glue. Let dry and arrange in a jar or vase. Enjoy.
Enjoy your recycled egg carton tulip bouquet. This is a great craft for spring.
