Moulded fibre egg cartons are made from post-consumer paper like newspaper and office paper and make the perfect base for all of your kid\u2019s creative projects. They can easily be cut, folded, painted and decorated to create whatever the imagination desires. Plus, after you or the recipient has enjoyed them for some time, they can be put right back into the recycling bin to start the process over again &#8211; becoming another egg carton. So if you\u2019re ready to have the kids craft this Valentine\u2019s Day and show a parent, grandparent, friend, or teacher just how much they\u2019re appreciated, read on to discover three simple craft ideas that will do just that!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><h2>What you\u2019ll need:<\/h2>\n<\/div><ul style=\"--awb-size:25.35px;--awb-line-height:43.095px;--awb-icon-width:43.095px;--awb-icon-height:43.095px;--awb-icon-margin:17.745px;--awb-content-margin:60.84px;--awb-circlecolor:#b4181e;--awb-circle-yes-font-size:22.308px;\" class=\"fusion-checklist fusion-checklist-1 fusion-checklist-default type-icons\"><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa-check fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">Recycled paper egg cartons<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa-check fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\r\n\r\nScissors\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa-check fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\r\n\r\nGlue\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa-check fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paint (like red, pink, purple, green, white and black)<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa-check fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coloured pipe cleaners<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa-check fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8.5\u201dx11\u201d cardstock paper or cardboard<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa-check fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frame<\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );margin-right: 4%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h2>Love Bugs<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>These love bugs are so adorable and easy to make and decorate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> First, start with a paper egg carton and cut a row of egg carton cups down the edge between two of the rows, this will be the base for your caterpillar love bug.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Next, from the remaining egg carton, cut out individual egg carton cups.

You can create your bouquet using half or all of your egg carton depending on how many flowers you\u2019d like to create.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Start by cutting out individual egg carton cups from your recycled paper egg carton. Each cup will be one flower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> To create the look of petals, cut around the edges of the cup to make them rounded or pointed. Once you have your flowers cut, paint each cup a different colour of your choice (we like pinks and purples for this bouquet!) You can use leftover egg carton pieces to make additional leaves or petals and paint these too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Once each egg carton cup is dry, safely poke a hole in the center of each cup using scissors. This is where you\u2019ll thread a pipe cleaner through each flower to create the flower stems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Simply take your pipe cleaner and thread it through the hole in the middle of the flower. Then, twist a knot at the end of the pipe cleaner that is at the center of the paper flower, this will secure the pipe cleaner and flower together. Repeat this process for each flower until they each have a pipe cleaner stem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Once this is complete, you can bundle the flowers by twisting all of the pipe cleaners together or by tying a string around your flower bouquet. This is better than a fresh bouquet of flowers and will be admired for many days (or years) to come.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );margin-right: 4%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><h2>Framed Heart<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p>A framed heart craft is simple but makes an elegant gift for someone\u2019s home. You may need a larger egg carton for this or multiple egg cartons with 12 cups, depending on how large you\u2019d like your heart to be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> First, start by cutting out individual egg carton cups. Once done cutting, paint each cup red or pink (or you could paint them all different colours depending on what style you\u2019d like to create).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Once the paint has dried, glue each cup open-side down to form a heart on an 8.5\u201d x 11\u201d piece of thick cardstock paper or cardboard (or whichever size paper you have that fits your frame).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Once the glue is dried and the heart is secure, place this paper into the frame of your choice.
