Egg carton crafts for wall,

Hello everyone,

Hope all are doing good, protect yourself and be safe. Here in this post, I wanted to share the idea of the wonderful craft using egg cartons. Before once the egg in the cartons done I used to through it then one day I got an idea to recycle it for making it into a craft. So are you all ready for this craftwork? 



Things required for making this craftwork,

All you need is simple things like an egg carton, scissors or knife, glue, newspaper, refill or stick, glue stick, Acrylic colors, painting brushes, and palette.
After collecting these things first we have to cut the egg cartons into flower shape to use it for your craft.

1. Take an egg carton and scissors.




2. Now cut the cups of the carton
using scissors or a knife.

To make flowers take an egg carton and scissors, then cut the cups of the egg carton like this in image 2. Initially while cutting the edges will not be perfect so we use the scissors to cut the rough edges of the cups of the carton. After cutting the rough edges it will be like this in image 3.

edges of the egg carton

4. Make as many as cups you want to use that for
any kinds of crafts work.

Make as many as cups you want to use that for flowers or any kind of craftwork and keep it aside. Now it's time for rolling the newspaper for this take newspaper, gluestick, refill, and scissors. Now keep the refill in one corner of the paper like this in image 6. and start to roll it diagonally to make it like a straw and at the end of the rolling apply gluestick and stick the newspaper like this in the image 7.

5.Take newspaper glue stick, refill, and scissors.
6.Keep the refill at one
corner of the paper

7. Apply glue at the end of the rolling

you like to make 
 
After making the newspaper straw cut the edges of the paper like this in image 9 to get uniform edges on the paper rolls.

10.Keep the paper ready for making the frame.

Now take 5 newspaper straw and apply glue before the edge like this in image 11 and keep 5 newspaper straws over the glue and do it on another two ends on both sides. Fix them like this in image 12.

After fixing wait for drying. Once it dried use any colors that you like and wait for it to dry. Here I used deep blue for half side and tropical blue for another half.

13. Color it and keep it aside.

In between the drying time color the cups of the carton like a flower in image 14 while coloring this use gloves to avoid painting in your hands. Once you are done coloring keep it to dry.

14. Color the cups of the cartons






15.Now take the cartons and the newspaper
straw frame and for fixing take glue

Apply the glue on the down center of the carton like this in image 16. And paste it on the newspaper frame like this in image 17. You can paste them in any pattern you like.

16.Apply glue on the carton to fix it
on the newspaper straw.
17.Paste them on the newspaper
straw like this

And keep all the flowers we made out of cartons and paste them on the frame we made like this in image 18.

18. Final result

That's it we all done now you can use it as a frame or just as a wall hanging to decorate your room. It's very easy and simple you don't have to use any expensive things on it just use simple things and acrylic colors to make it vibrant.
