Egg carton flower wreath

Flowers are colorful and they are attractive. They always make us feel special. Not just spring needs to remind me of them , when I hear the word beautiful...I only think of flowers.  Making flowers with all the possible materials that I find at home has become a hobby for me now.

Egg cartons are the best recyclable material that could be used for flower making.  I found lots of videos on youtube and other websites which has loads of ideas about this one particular material. I found an attractive one on pinterest. They looked lovely, and I definitely wanted to try one, since spring is around the corner.

Things used :
Egg carton
Pair of scissors
Glue
Paint
Card board to make a ring.

I cut the egg carton into small hollow pieces, which is easy. Each egg holder could be shaped to a flower.  Some flowers had a second little flower stuck inside. After cutting them, I picked some attractive colors and painted them. Once dry I glued each flower into whatever way I wanted them to look like. I colored the cardboard ring in green and stuck all the flowers on it arranging them neatly. I also added few leaves.  Just need to cut the left over carton into a leaf shape and stick them around.

And the final result was a beautiful flower wreath for my house door :) Don't they look perfect for spring.
