Easter Egg Flower Craft! Upcycle Old Plastic Eggs!

  • Mar 29, 2016
  • 1 min read

My oldest son, Jacob created an adorable bouquet of flowers for me! These flowers are made from plastic Easter eggs. The eggs give this colorful bunch of flowers a cute pop!



————————————

Supplies used:

  • colored construction paper

  • stiff cardboard – cereal box cardboard will work

  • plastic Easter eggs (bottom half only)

  • green pipe cleaners – AKA: chenille stems

  • glue stick

  • hot glue (adult supervision is required for younger children)

  • pencil

  • scissors

—————————————

How to make them:

  1. Use a pencil and half-eggs to create a symmetrical flower shape on the colored construction paper.

  2. With a glue stick, glue the colored paper flower onto the stiff cardboard.

  3. Glue another sheet of the same color to the back of the cardboard – sandwiching the cardboard between the colored paper.

  4. Cut out the flower shape.

  5. Hot glue the egg-bottom to the center of the flower. Add hot glue only to the inside edge of the egg.

  6. Twist 3 or 4 green pipe cleaners (chenille) together to make a strong stem.

  7. Hot glue one end of the pipe cleaner stem to the back-center of the flower.

  8. That’s it! Now make a few more to create a bouquet!
