Egg cartons often end up in the trash, which is a shame because they can be used in so many ways. The advantage is that it is a material that can be easily processed – cut, bent, painted. With a little creativity, even a beginner can turn it into a beautiful piece of art.
Tip 1: Jewellery Box
Thanks to egg covers, you don’t have to have differently mixed earrings and chains in one box anymore. And you don’t have to worry at all that the wrappers might look a bit tacky on your coffee table. With a little effort, they can be transformed into beautiful jewelry boxes that will be the pride of your handiwork. For example, you could glue sequins or cover them with coloured paper.
Tip 2: Mini Garden
You can plant small flowers or herbs in the few small compartments that the covers have. Just pour a little soil into the eggs and put the seeds in. When the plants have grown and turned green, you’ll have a really impressive mini garden that can brighten up any windowsill in your home. For example, succulents – small cacti – will look simply fabulous in them!
Tip 3: Decorative biscuit box
Each of the slots in the box will fit cookies or muffins beautifully. It doesn’t matter if they are homemade or bought, no one will be able to resist any sweets for long in such a rustic box. It can also be an imaginative gift for your loved ones – just tie a ribbon over the package!
Tip 4: Christmas table decorations
Christmas is a holiday celebrated by everyone, and each of the compartments of the wrapper can be filled with things like decorated shells, flasks, pine needles and other trinkets. You can create an original decoration that you can put on your table or windowsill. During the holidays, it will make you happy every day and caress your heart. You can also make a similar version for Easter.
Tip 5: Draw a car
Egg wrappers are also ideal for making cardboard toys for children. You don’t just have to paint them, I’m sure your little ones will love to have fun too. There are no limits to your imagination, so you can turn your egg wrapper into a truck or even a spaceship. As it turns out, the fun with egg cartons simply knows no bounds!
